YAMAHA Stryker Bullet Cowl (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Stryker was a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2011 as a mid-class chopper, designed to be ridden and admired. The bike was a reinterpretation of the iconic chopper with a modern-era symbolic character, which still retained the heritage of old-school choppers and radical road aggressiveness.

In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Stryker Bullet Cowl, a machine that, as its name suggests, was fitted with a front cowl that added a more aggressive touch and a small windscreen, offering better protection against wind and elements.

In addition to the cowl, the bike featured a blacked-out appearance, with a black-finished engine and polished cooling fins, lower fork legs, exhaust system, frame, and five-spoke aluminum wheels.

As standard, the bike packed the same features as previous models, including a round headlight integrated into the front cowl, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side, and five-spoke wheels.

The 2015 Yamaha Stryker Bullet Cowl was powered by the same 1,304cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine as previous models managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 82 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 4,000 rpm.

Suspension-wise, the bike was built around a double cradle steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.
