2009 Yamaha Raider – Powerful, Custom-Inspired Cruiser The 2009 Yamaha Raider blends factory reliability with bold, custom-chopper styling, creating one of the most striking cruisers in its class. Powered by a 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled V-twin, the Raider delivers massive torque, smooth power delivery, and that unmistakable low-end rumble riders expect from a big-bore cruiser. Its long, stretched-out profile, raked front end, and custom-inspired steel fenders give the Raider a commanding presence on the road. Despite its aggressive look, the bike remains surprisingly comfortable thanks to Yamaha’s well-balanced chassis, low seat height, and refined suspension setup.
