About Yamaha Raider S 2011
Introducing the 2011 Yamaha Raider S, a striking custom-cruiser that boldly stands out in the competitive motorcycle market. Priced at $15,290, the Raider S seamlessly combines high-performance mechanics with modern aesthetics, appealing to riders who crave both power and style. With its low, aggressive stance and muscular design, the Raider S is not just a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to experience the open road in a way that only Yamaha can deliver. This bike is built for those who appreciate the fine art of cruising while demanding a machine that exudes character and confidence.
At the heart of the Raider S lies an impressive 1851.85 cc V-twin engine, delivering a robust 113 cubic inches of raw power. This four-stroke powerhouse features a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and utilizes a Twin-Bore electronic fuel injection system for precise fueling and responsive acceleration. Riders will appreciate the smooth power delivery through the 5-speed gearbox, making city commuting or highway cruising equally exhilarating. The air-cooled engine not only keeps things simple but enhances the motorcycle's classic appeal, while its fuel consumption of 5.60 liters per 100 km (42.00 mpg) ensures that you can spend more time on the road and less at the pump.
Beyond its impressive performance, the Raider S is equipped with a suite of features designed for comfort and control. The all-aluminum cast frame and aluminum swingarm create a lightweight yet sturdy structure, providing excellent handling and stability. The telescopic front fork and swingarm rear suspension, with a travel of 130 mm and 89 mm respectively, ensure a smooth ride even over bumpy terrain. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear for confident stopping power. Available in eye-catching colors like Raven and Glacier Blue, the Raider S is as much a visual statement as it is a technological marvel.
