Yamaha Raider description

2013 YAMAHA Raider, The Raider was inspired by the custom chopper movement, but since it s a Star, it had to also handle, stop and go. A 6-degree yoke angle the first ever on a street-legal Star Motorcycle makes it possible to achieve that custom look as well as neutral handling and straight-line cruisability: 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail. Custom 5-spoke wheels carry a 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back the tallest and widest ever on a Star. Estimated 42 mpg* means this cruiser can go the distance between fill-ups. New for 2013: Clutch has light, easy-pull operation 20% less effort at the lever than before.
