Overview

The 2017 Yamaha Raider Bullet Cowl is a cruiser from the Raider family, produced in 2017. Its air-cooled, 1,854 cm³ V-twin makes 90 hp (67 kW), and the motorcycle has a wet weight of 332.9 kg.

A 696 mm seat height gives a low seating position, while the 332.9 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvering demanding. The 15.9-liter tank and listed fuel consumption of 5.60 liters/100 km correspond to an estimated range of about 284 km; belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Low seat

    At 696 mm, the seat sits low and can make it easier for riders to put their feet down at a stop.

  • Belt final drive

    The belt drive avoids the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.

  • Strong braking setup

    Hydraulic dual front discs and a hydraulic rear disc provide disc braking at both ends.

Things to consider

  • Heavy at low speeds

    At 332.9 kg wet, the Raider can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces and at walking pace.

  • Limited tank range

    The 15.9-liter tank gives an estimated range of about 284 km, so longer rides can involve relatively frequent fuel stops.

  • Short rear suspension travel

    The rear wheel has 89 mm of travel, leaving less room to absorb large bumps than the front suspension's 130 mm.
