2013 Star Stryker.

                                       2013 Star  Stryker.

The 2013 Yamaha Stryker, a machine designed to be ridden and admired. Chopper inspired styling, attention to detail and machanical function blend together in a stunning mid class "chopper". One ride and you will know Yamaha got it right. The style, the performance and that special attitude is intoxicating.

The 2013 Yamaha Stratoliner S is powered by a 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod 48-degree V-twin engine that not only provides for good performance, but also enhances the bike’s massive look. Combustion efficiency is optimized thanks to four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs for each cylinder. The cylinders themselves are ceramic-composite plated which allows for superior heat dissipation. The forged pistons are cooled by oil jets, which help ensure reliability and engine longevity. The twin-bore fuel injection system is computer controlled and monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate a mixture that’s perfect in all conditions. The Stratoliner’s engine has a unique jewel-like appearance that’s the result of a special custom machining of the cooling fin.

The exhaust system, designed specifically for Stryker, adds to the awesome look of this bike while also optimizing its engine performance—and it has a magnificent exhaust note.

With a curb weight of 646 lbs, its weight is roughly what you'd expect: the average 2013 cruiser motorcycle has a curb weight of 657 lbs. The 4.00-gallon fuel capacity is only slightly lower than average.
The Stryker is 99.6 inches long and 33.9 inches wide. The wheelbase comes in at a lengthy 68.9 inches, prioritizing stability over quick turn-in. A seat height of 26.4 inches is 4.50 inches lower than the average motorcycle, making this one of the best models for shorter riders.

Low seat height (26.4 inches) allows riders to put both feet on the ground and helps provide this bike’s natural, relaxed and comfortable riding position.Seat height is low, just 26.4 inches, letting the rider feel in rather than on the bike when riding, and enjoy having both feet planted firmly on the ground when stopped.

The 2013 Stryker has a starting MSRP of $11,590, a reasonable price to pay for a member of the class of 2013 cruiser motorcycles (the average price is $13,240). A 12-month factory warranty from Star helps protect new buyers.
