Great experience

The largest bike I had ridden prior to renting a Raider was my brother in law's Custom Dyna Glide 88 cu. in. Harley. I had recently sold my V-Star 1100. I am a 53 year old male with a 29" inseam. I have been licensed since 16 to ride MC, and have had been riding since the age of 13. I sold ...my Honda 550 in 1978, and didn't ride again until 2005 when I bought the V-Star. I rode from New Castle, Delaware to the Finger Lakes Region of New York. 350 miles in the saddle. My butt didn't get sore. The bike was a pleasure, a regular torque monster. Going through heavy traffic in more than one city was no problem. It handles well and was easy to control at any speed, including a u-turn in a development after taking a wrong turn in Harrisburg. Steady cruising at 75 mph on Route 15 equated to 50 mpg. My V-Star got a steady 38 mpg. Go figure ! When I eventually get another ride the Raider will be one to consider. Looks, great MPG, powerfull and to top it off, comfortable. Not to mention, a lot less expensive for a comparable Harley. Next, I'd like to try the Triumph Thunderbird Storm. After all, the Brits are our best Allies. Read Full Review

Awesome

First off I have to set the stage. I've been a Gold Wing fan for more than 17 yrs. My brother bought an 09 Raider S and when I visited on vacation he let me ride it. What a cool sled and I would like to add one to my stable someday. We went to his local dealer to check on one but they had a cherry 2...004 Valkyrie Rune which I wound up buying but I still think I enjoy the Raider S more. The thrush, fit and finish and overall quality make this a very fun ride. Not sure what I would do with 3 bikes but it's very tempting to have a Wing, Rune and Raider S. Thanks Bro! Read Full Review

On my way again at Eastern to Golden gate for 4 Days. This Bike is one of the most convertible Bikes I have ridden and the power is awesome. When you talk about good looks then this Bike is a beauty with a hot Body.

Power and... handling is outstanding just every ride is a pleasure, Puts away any Harley in power and locks.
