Just got a 2012 Stryker, low miles, and it's awesome! I'm 5'8" and it fits perfect and has more than enough power 💪 mine even has gas gauge 😎
Hello sir any review after few years of usage? I’m looking to buy one with 2899 miles 2012 I’m 5.8. Is it good for our height? Please update if u can
I'm also curious because I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm 6" 300lbs. You think this bike is a good size??
Good info thank you!
Your video on this along with Jon’s Moto Garage’s video helped me decide to buy this bike. Bought it this past summer, put on 3000km on it. Loved every single minute of it. All I have on it is a cobra exhaust and it’s perfect. Get tons of looks and compliments. Bike rides so perfectly smooth, very reliable. Pushed it to 200 kmph on a nice stretch and it doesn’t hesitate. Looking to get a 240 rear tire on it next summer, only for the looks.
I have a 2007 vstar 1300 with the same engine. I get around 47mpg consistently. I can confirm the reliability of these bikes. I’ve got 65,000 miles on mine and never had a single issue with it. Just regular oil changes and new tires every now and then. The vstar is even cheaper than a Stryker right now used. Cheap reliable fun. Enjoy the words of wisdom on these videos too.
I miss my 2014 Stryker. Its truly an awesome bike. Wish I kept mine. I also had a Raider and I liked the Stryker so much more.
I would like to know why you like the striker better than the Raider because I was looking at both?
@@thunderkiss0000 The Bars are pulled back further on the Stryker. On the Raider I always felt I was stretching. I liked the blacked out look. The one in the video is the one I had. I always felt the Stryker had a more badass look. Plus Liquid cooled is always nicer then air cooled.
@@everette818 okay I appreciate it.
are you a taller bigger rider? Just wondering if this a good beginner bike for 6ft guys lol
I'll stick with my raider any day. I'll admit water cooled would be nice,but I'm a raider fan...
I have my machine broken right now, you don't have idea how much I enjoy seeing someone just driving and having a good time with a motorcycle. Thanks for sharing this video.
I bought my last bike based on SRK videos, suggestions and opinions. I’m sure my next bike will be from his words of wisdom. Keep keeping on
Nice bike really love how the beginning of your videos start with bible verses. God bless and stay safe out there
Yeah then he starts cursing and racing thru residential neighborhoods
Won't be long before he kills one of god's creatures
Put that on a sticky note
@@michaelmccully10 better take care of that plank first.
I always skip that part.
@@lockout6896 so do I. I come.for bikes not.religious crap
Right!!!
I always been on sports bikes and I bought the same bike and I’m happy I bought the Stryker then another hayabusa. Stryker is the most fun I had on a motorcycle
Just picked a blue one up today, best street bike I've owned
God bless you brother. Seeing a fellow biker profess his life, is life right there!
You forgot to mention not only is this bike is quick, but likely the smoothest v twin engine ever made at all rpms (like a goldwing caliber on the hwy)
I just got done returning mine to stock exhaust because the Vance and Hines twin slash were way too loud, 16,000 miles later lol, and also removed the fuel processor. Bruh, I've been missing out on how good this bike is stock form.
@@FCT8306onTwoWheels Yea, powertrain on that is great.. geeze pulls a hard all the way past 120 mph, and no vibration which I find incredible. I had the V-star 1300 and never rode the Stryker. my recent bikes; I also have a VTX1300, Stratoliner 1900 and a Goldwing F6B. I did find the suspension on the V-star 1300 sub-par though esp compared with the Stratoliner and F6B..
Lord that sound when you hit the throttle, the Cobra 2 to 1 sounds so good. Have the Vance and Hines Twin Slash but swapped the original exhaust back in after five years because my hearing is just gone. Stock exhaust is nice, even took the Cobra Fi2000 off and it's much smoother without it. Its a keeper
I love my 2015 Stryker! I get so many compliments on the stock look. And I'm able to keep up with big Harley Davidson
I've got a 2015 Bullet Cowl Stryker, the HD's can't keep up with me!
I love my 2012 Stryker! Great bike
I have a 2015 in green. I love it. I'll buy other bikes but I'm never getting rid of it
Interesting bike. Like the fact that the fairing pops on and off. Like you said, great commuter bike.
You're the reason why I bought mine 💪
My local shop is trying to sell me one. 2700 miles with cobra pipe. How do you like yours? Still have it?
@@MrMpm3001 I loved mine! My neighbor bought one too and he loves it too. I only sold because of two kiddos and we had a few friends pass on accidents and the boss said no more. So race cars it is lol
@@The505face that’s cool. I am interested but coming from sport bikes... the 13 second quarter mile time seems a bit slow.
I ride hd's but Yamaha is my 2nd cruiser choice.
Joe D. Thanks. I like the raider better. Used to big bikes. My Rune is 1832. About 110 ci. Appreciate the advice.
It should be rock solid. It's the V Star 1300 motor and a lot of the parts are interchangeable. My V Star 1300 has been bbulletproof.
If the Striker gets 40mpg and you put half a gallon of gas then you could go about 20 miles, so half of that is 1/4 gallon or 10 miles, and half that is 1/8 of a gallon or 1/8 of 128oz which is 16oz, (which looked like the size of that spray bottle full of gas) which would mean you could drive about 5 miles on that 16oz, (1/8 of a gallon), so Sean your fast head math actually checks out.
I like those bikes. That will be my next bike. Got the Vulcan 900 custom 2009. I like it.
those are the best words of wisdom I've heard in a while, next to, " Don't run outa gas "!!!!!!!
Bummer Dude
Words of wisdom. Gods eliminate the need to think. If you need to be watched over 24/7 or you'll be bad, its to late.
Love the gas in the glass cleaner bottle lol
Gonna get to the speed limit, after blasting 50 in a 25. Runs outta gas, bring me some gas. Has a retail bike shop, uh do we have a gas can? Love this channel. 1st world problems.😁
Haha; that's why they make those warning lights a bright yellow (or red) so you don't end up running out of gas! Good video though. I'm looking at one of those right now.
Like the one they was lit the entire time
Found your comment on the 650 V Star funny and ironic since I’ve owned one for about 5 years and just bought a 2011 Stryker over the weekend and just sold the V Star yesterday and I’m beyond satisfied with the upgrade!!
You may notice the YELLOW light at the bottom of the speedo display. The symbol is a gas pump. When it comes on you better find a gas station. I had a 2007 VTX 1800 and when the YELLOW light would illuminate I found a gas station, quickly. The VTX did not have a reserve per se. The reserve was the amount of fuel remaining when the YELLOW light came on. Bet it is the same way with the Stryker.
Have a Raider in me stable with a Roadstar and they keepers and really reliable. Putting tires on my raider which will be fun right!
Ihad the uk version,great bike but it’s impossible to fill the brake reservoir as its hidden in the engine ,
Great graphics on the scripture!!!
I did 118 in 4th gear and still had plenty of power. This bike can have an extra person on the back and still pull uphill like it’s nothing. Don’t even notice it. And I’m no lightweight either.
I wonder if the passenger back rest mount can be flipped so it can become a driver back rest.
This is the good videos we've come to love. Stay safe.
I always wonder why they quit making the rs warrior and made this. Take care everyone.
In my Denzel washington voice "MY NINJA!!" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be
sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and
humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but
with blessing, because to this you were called so that you
may inherit a blessing.
Hard choice. Raider or Stryker. Like both. I own a Yamaha midnight venture and 2004 Rune. But these bikes are sweet.
Joel Williams ive drivin both back to back, raider alll day. If you’re not power hungry then the strykers light weight might me better for you. Stryker just felt cheaper, raider felt like a bike worth double.
One of the best bikes to buy. 1300. 74 Horse power is good enough and the 1900. Yes please.
thanx for the great vids . and Im right with you there about fuel . why go straight to a fuel stop ? just ride around for awile . you can always call someone . then they bring some fuel out and you go back riding .
Always a good idea when looking at a new bike anyway but check the price on that oddball 210 rear tire!
upside downdog OOO, a 210 millimeter rear ? no wonder
@@randyhutchinson9910
We just installed one yesterday. The guy can't afford the front at the same time, both bald. Good thing to know going into a bike is tire replacement costs. You WILL be changing them if you ride.
I love my 14’ Stryker. This exact bike, I beat on it daily! Had it 4 yrs now. Awesome community group on Facebook as well!!
I really love your commitment to ride for us and know your out of gas lol.love your videos and this bike
Love that freakin bike man dam it
Marcus Toliver it's pretty for a rice grinder
Going to give my 750 shadow another year then I'm going to cut her loose for one of these😁
I have one. I like it.
just crashed my shadow 750 and either this or the raider will be my replacement bike! Honda shadows are bullet proof! Crashed mine into a tree and rode it away from the scene (About a mile) to get towed.
Thank you for all the reviews!
Enjoy the verses in the beginning. What jacket are you wearing in the video? Looks good. Looking for something ventilated with protection and visibility.
I like the way the fairing looks but you can’t see the speedo
What batwing fairing is that? Thanks
The rare commodity of gas, at this place alone.
I like the look, but the bag across the front seems to be in the way?
Amen!! Keep spreading word of God. Love your vids
Hi brother! do you or anyone know what brand of fairing this was??
got the 2013 with only 16k or so on it. Wish id have ridden it more the last three years, keep telling myself this year will be different but also said the same thing last year. I had the original stock exhaust on it for about 20 minutes of idling time getting it on the trailer and off the trailer before swapping in a Vance and Hines Twin slash, its loud A F now and kinda wonder how it would be with the stock pipes. Maybe I would have gone deaf as fast, just cant ride without earplugs nowadays but still love it. Ran out of gas about twice with my bike a block away from my work and then again at work lol. Then there was the one time on my first bike a Kymco Venox about five blocks away from work but walked the bike to work lol.
Looks like it will be purchasing one this week thank you for your input. Great scripture reading love it brother thanks
At least being an 80 inch engine, and weighing only 650 pounds give or take, you can PUSH it when you run outta gas. (Where was this video shot, anyway? What state?
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
No reserve or was it already on it when you left?
Hey , do you know where the Batwing fairing is coming from ?
I have the same bike and year. What make and model of fairing is on the bike?
Is the batwing fairing black or color matched? Also can you tell me where to buy that one? Thanks!
Check out yamaha oem Cowl. Looks much much better than batwing..
Probably a stupid question but would this be suitable for someone with minimal riding experience? I found one for sale from an older gentleman that is letting it go for 3500 bucks due to not being able to ride anymore.
Yes, if you have enough self control to not do stupid stuff. Cruisers have nice low seat heights so easy to handle
I'm looking at one of these right now.
Srk video. I click, i like.
You do have to work on your refueling game. You always seem amidst a fuel crisis
Darth Bane HAHAHAHAHAHA
I almost bought a 650 V star, it's really cute, just not made for riding across America
At 3:45 a cop went by in the other direction and the speed limit was 25. How fast were you going?
Here's the lesson for today: When you say at the start of the video - "I'm gonna run out of gas" - that's an omen of things to come. Unless, of course, you go to a gas station and correct that condition.
On2Wheelz But, of course
Lol
Where can I buy this same batwing ?
Great video! Helped me make the decision to purchase this bike. Question though, do you have a link or model number for that batwing fairing? It looks awesome
I have that model, can you say where that fairing comes from?
So, the Strykey does have a windshield option, so I'm sold.
Is this bike for experience riders only?
I have one. It's my second bike and i basically learned how how to ride on it. At about 650 pounds it's a little heavy for an absolute beginner, but it's not particularly hard to ride or anything. It handles very well considering the rake and wide back tire. If you can handle other cruiser-style bikes you should be fine.
This bike was my first bike.
I have this bike and I love it. What kind of front fairing is that. I need one for my bike. Awesome fast and comfortable bike and love how loud it is. I have the same 2 to 1 kit.
Did you ever find that faring? If so, where. Definitely interested in one.
Any word on that faring
I’ve been riding a Yamaha Virago 750for 2 years and I’m looking to upgrade good choice? How well does it turn?
Is this the same HEMI type engine as the Raider, horsepower?
Is a Yamaha Stryker 1300 or a V star 1300 a good first bike for someone 6'1" and 260 pounds?
No I'm also 6'1 260 the biggest v star I would consider starting bike would be the 1100 they also have the 950s their are smaller but they wont be as comfortable
Great video! I really love the look of the Stryker, but I'm not too keen on the look of that fairing.
I have not ridden a bike in over 30 years, and I'm trying to decide on which to get. Back in the day, I was a hardcore Yamaha guy, so I am naturally attracted to the Stryker, but that damn Honda Fury has also caught my eye. I'm not intimidated by the size of the bikes even though I am rather small of stature (but a stocky 5'7", 185 lbs), so I've even contemplated the getting the Raider. So which bike would you advise getting? Stryker or Fury?
Stryker
Lonnie Mathis stryker
Strayker💪
Raider! ya' won't regret it.i know I've got one.
(Lonnie mathis,,)The 1300 fury will have a lower seat and is a solid bike ,long trips will not be as comfortable as Yamaha,,as eye owned both,,now for as price ,I noticed Yamaha holds its value much better,,.,,good luck& ,,,call SRK ,easy to talk to and they ship bikes .
SRK- what would be the price for a 2006 victory Vegas Jackpot in perfect conditions with under 4K miles ?
around 5k-5500
Srkcycles ok fastest response ever from a CZcams STAR!
gonna recommend you to all my crazy friends . Thanks for the quick response
Stryker vs boulevard? Thoughts? Stuck between which to buy
Do a 2004 Vulcan 1500 review
Haha Sean, again no gas? Ps. Nice canal keep up the good work. But with gas in the tank
Which bike you think outshines, the Vulcan S or the Stryker
Awesome bike! Do you still have it?
I own a 16 Stryker. The only thing I don’t like is how clunky the 5speed is. I’ve been told this is a common thing for these bikes.
Great looking bike! I'd love one.
Ran out of gas a few times on this bike. This thing eats up fuel I manage to only get around 80 miles per tank the way I ride lol
First thing, get rid of that windshield. Its freaking huge.
You should see how this bike handles with a 240 rear tire
I like that front fairing. Can you send me the link so I can order?
I cant believe they stop making them!
Raider,1900cc ,& o7 VTX 1300r ,rolls up @biker bar & everyone said Nice Hoggs,,I replied Thanks Bro.!!-as eye put my jacket over My Honda Badge,,lol(.,y'all stay warm brother man !,ps.--),2002 fuel injection was a option on HD Fatboy,,I'm looking for 02 carb.Fatboy.Thanks.
amen
And usual Sean rolls out of lot with the hey dummy no gas light glaring lol.
Lol sorry I laughed when you ran out of gas. Glad I’m not the only one.
I'm 6'4" 350 would I be to big for this bike?
Im 6' and 220 lbs and i ride one... I would think you would be okay. Seat height might be a little low. The only way to tell is to go try one out.
looks so cool
Can a stereo be added easily to that fairing? Love your reviews
Hey Ted. I believe that may be a Memphis Shades quick release fairing. I have one on my Raider. When fairing is on my Raider it is a tight fit because of the mirrors. I can only run the center bag on mine. But the difference is the Stryker has the speedometer up between the handle bars which complicates things more for space as you can see the bags are litterally sitting on the bezel. The ignition is also down behind the speedo. So I would say that a stereo would not work.
Nice video , guys I’m 5,6 is it fine for me
What wind screen is that
Lmao the gas light was still on
