The Yamaha RaiderA new addition to this year’s Yamaha Star line of motorcycles is the Raider. Chopper inspired and engineered to perform, the Raider boasts a fuel-injected 113-cubic inch V-twin engine, which cranks out maximum torque at only 2,500 rpm. Toss in a 210-section radial rear tire with an aluminum frame, and when you crank the throttle, you’d better be holding on tight. For additional information and photos of the new Raider, check out this month’s specs page.
This month’s cover girl is Vicky from Grandview, Missouri. To see more photos of Vicky and find out more about her, take a step Behind the Scenes with Vicky.
