Welcome to YamahaRaider.org this website will be a informational guide to building your Yamaha Raider to a true custom chopper. Stay tuned as this site grows. Check out the best Yamaha Raider accessories available from LowandMean.com

    The Yamaha Raider is the essential ride for motorcyclists who want a chopper that can actually be ridden on a daily basis- a chopper that doesn't require any special parking-lot finesse to get where you're going. Overall length of the 2009 Yamaha Raider is just 101.2 inches. While that may not seem like much in the world of custom choppers with six-foot long front forks, it does produce a long, low ride that just cries out for another couple of miles before you wipe off the dust and put her to bed. Along with the spot-on styling, though, is the power. The 2009 Yamaha Raider produces max torque at 2,500 RPM, and max power at 4,500 RPM from a 113 cubic inch V-twin engine. 

The Yamaha Raider features an all-aluminum cast frame to reduce weight and provide a light but rigid platform for the chopper build, and an aluminum swingarm complete the all-aluminum Yamaha Raider chassis. Seat height is a slight 27.3 inches, while the highest point of the Yamaha Raider sits at 45.9 inches total. The best part has to be the fact that the Yamaha Raider weighs only 692 pounds dry. For a chopper that displaces nearly two liters, that is no small feat. A 210-series tire out back enforce the chopper image of the Yamaha Raider, while the front end rests on a 120/70-21 bias tire. Other features of the Yamaha Raider include a carbon fiber embedded drive belt, handlebar routed wiring, and excellent fit and finish.

Most custom choppers built today are out of the price range of average buyers, and those who can't do the customizing by themselves and can't afford to have it done have been until now largely left out in the cold. The Yamaha Raider brings to the masses a custom chopper look and feel while providing more sensible ergonomics and far more comfortable ride. While many a chopper is custom built for corporations and rich tycoons collections these days, the Yamaha Raider is a chopper that is built to be ridden and enjoyed, without the fear of falling over at a stoplight, and never passing a bikini-clad college cheerleader bike wash this summer for fear that the sponge will scratch the twenty-thousand dollar paint job.
