Yamaha calls it the first "modern performance custom"; the Raider from Star Motorcycles broke new ground in styling, performance, power and handling upon its introduction in 2008.  Now, over four years later, the Raider continues to exhilarate its owners and impress (and defeat) its competition, inspiring a growing fierce and loyal following, and winning awards and accolades along the way.

Since the very beginning, RaiderPerformance.com has aimed to help the owners of this incredible motorcycle get the most out of their machines and serves as a community for all Raider owners and riders (current and future).

New for 2012 - Star Motorcycles has unveiled its new bikes for 2012.  Sticking with what works, there are no mechanical changes for the new year.  The standard Raider is available in Liquid Silver, with an MSRP of $14,590.  The Raider S with its extra chrome starts at $15,190, and comes in Raven Black and a new color called Nebulous Purple.  The big news this year is a limited run of Raiders known as the Star Custom Line (SCL).  500 units will come from the factory with custom seats, stainless lines, billet wheels and pulleys.  With factory custom paint in Blazing Orange, they'll sell for a whopping $19,990.

BIG NEWS - we've made a major improvement and added an on-line catalog feature to our Aftermarket Section.  In addition to our research and reviews, we are now able to provide a direct connection to our partners that allow you to purchase many of the name-brand products that we discuss at discounted prices, including FI modules, handlebars, exhaust, etc.
