2011 Styker
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 14, 2013I purchased a new 2011 blue Stryker last April of 2012! I also own a 2011 Vulcan Nomad large 1700 bagger! The Stryker is a lighter cruiser and there is a difference when you hit bumps or rough patch roads between the two. The stopping power between the two is difference also. The Nomad is superior ... in these two area's. But it's also 150 lbs different too! The Stryer shines in many other area"s. It is solid, quick and very fast throttle response! You will keep up with any other motorcycle on the road if not surpass it. It is fun to ride and easy on your passenger for longer trip riding. I did upgrade the seats, added cycle sound 3" speakers for my I-pod. I also added their chrome rims and their star bags a detachable shield, back rest and rack! It is comfortable to ride, nimble on curves and you can cruise the highway speeds with ease. I'm 5'10 and 250lbs this bike handles my size with ease and feels bigger than it is!I find it fast at low end and at high end for a 5 speed! The quality is first rate and you won't be disappointed in this cruiser. The blue paint on this bike and styling stick out on this bike no matter where you are or parked next to other bikes! I would highly recommend this bike with someone with a little more experience in riding as it is quick and a little more demanding at low speed riding due to the rake on front end!

Yamaha Stryker Raven ( Black Beauty )
By (I am an Owner) on May 29, 2012I saw one on the road and found myself asking " what was that " ? It wasn't a Honda or Suzuki . Not even Kawasaki . I would recognize their styling . But this ? WOW !!!!! So I went to the closest Yamaha dealer I could find . They also sold Honda as well so I could see the Stryker up against them ... . After sitting on all the Honda models and then the Stryker , the choice was easy for me to make . The fit from handlebars to seat to pegs felt better to me . Plus the Yamaha styling ! I can not , repeat not ride anywhere or stop at the gas station without someone telling me "nice bike " ! While I can't talk about the ride of the other brands , I can say that I find the Stryker to be a fairly smooth ride . The handling in the turns is well planted with its fatter front and rear tires . Brakes are good , but could be better. With all that said , all I can say is get one ! You won't be sorry !

Kick @$#!!!!
By (I am an Owner) on May 05, 2012I did a lot of shopping around, and as most people have done, looked at multiple other bikes including Harley and the Honda Fury. This bike is awesome. It turns heads everywhere I go, and I get compliments frequently. For the $, you won't find a better bike.

Big Bang for your Buck
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 29, 2012I couldn't really decide between this, the Raider, Fury, and Sabre. I'm glad I chose this bike. It gets so much attention. Everywhere I go, people stop and stare. Love this bike.

Couldn't be happier
By (I am an Owner) on May 15, 2011I researched and shopped for what seemed like an eternity to my girlfriend who was drug along with me, searching for my first motorcycle in 20 years. The Stryker was one of the first I saw but being a man of particulars, I didn't jump. I did find myself returning to look at the Stryker again and ... again after shopping other cycles. I finally decided I had looked at about everything I could and decided to give the Stryker a try. I was simply stunned at how easy it was to get back in the swing of riding as I pulled off the lot on my new Stryker. I haven't looked back, no second guessing, the Stryker is amazing. My girlfiend loves it too.

Best Ride For The $$$
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 10, 2011After researching and checking out multiple bikes for over 9 months, I decided on purchasing the 2011 Yamaha Stryker. I could have not picked a better bike for my riding style, body type and overall "want" for a bike. It sits low enough to keep you from feeling too tall on the bike also keeping ... my center of gravity within the bike more. It rides smooth like a big bike but manuvers like a small framed bike. I love the look, the feel and ride it gives. I wouldn't mind louder sounding pipes, but I can take care of that on my own. The smooth and sleek design is very appealing to the eye and the large back tire and full metal fenders adds to the already custom look. Great first or second bike for all level riders.
