2015 Yamaha Stryker 

'I've got 80 year old neighbours and I don't want to annoy them'.....you sir, are a gentleman. Nice review.

Easily the best review I’ve seen, thank you, answered all my questions. Glad you enjoy your bike mate

Great review, best reviews are done by owners, I reckon. Choppers aren't everybody's bag, but I love the looks and this model coming from a factory, is straight up gorgeous looking. To get these looks along with functionality and reliability is awesome. I'm glad you found yours, Robbie.

Awesome review bloke. I had already purchased my stryker bullet cowl when i come accross your review but you answered all the question un spoken before this. Huge thumbs up. If ever you bring it to the mid north coast there are pleanty of awesome roads round coffs 😜

That is the most GORGEOUS, reliable, FAST bike out there. I friggen' LOVE it. It's perfection coming from the perspective of a 53 year old who rode sport bikes in my 20's.n Your gas tank is fucking GORGEOUS, excuse my language.

im 6 4 and 300lb and i got a 2011 stryker. great bike imo and can be a good starter bike for big guys if you learn to control it first. Cruise it dont rush it.

So happy you luv your bike mate. It's a good looking machine. I too got my dream bike in all black. John here Cbr1100xx driver in St Louis, Missouri.

Thanks for the additional information about the exhaust and why you have not made the switch due to consideration for your neighbors, a valid consideration, alright. Keep up the good work on a great, detailed review from the LAND DOWN UNDER. From Texas, USA, bikers, are the same all over the world........we all share a great love for the open road on the back of a great, reliable, powerful, bike......So, as you say, G'day, Mate........

Thanks the video. I've been on the look for a new bike and you give quite some insight.

Superb bike, may it last forever !!!

Super bike, I've owned one for a while. I like the stock quite exhaust best of all.

Great review, have owned my 2018 stryker for about 4 months now and absolutely love it. For any that arent sure, yes you can lane filter on Sydney roads on a Stryker, that's one of my favorite things about this bike, looks like a beast but is surprisingly compact and agile where it counts.

great review. Hoping to add one of these in my garage soon.

With me being 6'5" tall I really appreciated your mention of height and then sitting on the bike. Great review

Nice video mate. I always enjoy listening to the ausie accent. Very nice bike.

Great review, I like how your delivering the information. Thanks mate

Great review m8 and thanks for explaining about height and siting position...

Look! A helicopter! I laughed so hard :D Thanks for the great review Robbie, looking at this bike for a long time now.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

nice bike. I was looking at one of these yestarday considering picking one up when i come off my l's in 2 months

beautiful bike and great warranty!

Nice letter box 11:07 . Sweet bike mate, keen for some more vids on that beast.

She is a thing of Beauty Robbie , one day I'll get back over to Melbourne and finally go for a ride with you mate

Great video. Beautiful bike! I’m looking at one of those for my next bike. They’re stunning. That’s a great looking stock exhaust system too. I have hardkrome pipes on my xvs650 and even though I like the noise, they’re too loud for anything more than a half hour ride. Ear plugs needed, after that. Smart move to keep those sweet stocks on there. I’ll think twice before making that move again.

Very nice bike mate. Excellant video 👍

So thoughtful. The only exception for a loud exhaust is so people can not only see, but hear you on busy roads. Awesome review though mate no bullshit, well paced and a demo.

beautiful bike mate, cheers

Nice Bike and a nice honest revue mate, if you're living in the heavy traffic areas in the City I would have louder pipes just so other car drivers know you're there....but where you live in the Country...no need for them.... (gotta bear in mind the neighbors in a place where Crickets are the loudest thing at night).... cheers mate.

Great Bike and review man. How is the ground clearance on corners? I heard strykers grind the pegs easily.

Great presentation

Great review man! I got my Stryker last year as my first bike and love it. If you haven't done so yet check out the Yamaha Stryker Forum, great people in there and tons of mod ideas. Ride Safe!!

Beautiful bike. I'm about your size and you helped me a lot to see how would I look like on Stryker. Thanks man.

Nice bike mate I got myself a Yamaha virago 250cc as a first bike it is a great bike id like to upgrade to a Stryker later on down the track sick bike 😎

Hey nice with you I'm looking at the Stryker 2 you look like a pretty big guy too I'm six feet about 325 any problems pulling you

Even better than my last bike Honda 75o cruiser

Beautiful bike, absolutely love it. Am I the only person to notice what looks like a mini twister behind you at around the 7:08 mark? Haha

Great review, I have a 2015 Stryker also -just magic

Thank you VERY much for this!! I am looking at this bike, and I had some un answered questions that you answered !! I am about your size and height, so your review holds alot of weight w me! Much appreciated

Hi, what's the suspension like out on the road?

nice bike. have you looked into a exhaust like the varex system xforce make for cars im sure someone would make a bike one. then you can have loud and quiet

You mentioned fuel Robbie, what sort of l/100km does it do? My jetted and piped Yamaha XVS650 does about 6l/100km as a comparison

I have a 2012 and the turn signal goes off after about 300ft I believe. Either way it does go off. Maybe they changed it on newer models. One thing that had to go instantly was that 2-1-2 exhaust. It was way to quiet for me.

Do you still have the Stryker? Going for my MSF course next month, looking hard at this bike. I'm 6 foot 1 290 and old enough to not kill myself. Thoughts as a first bike?

Great review!!!

True Ozzie well done mate

can you tell me where you got the high rez sunglasses from, brand etc? thanks for a good review!!

Great in depth review. I wish you'd review other cruisers too. I'm trying to decide between the Stryker and the Fury.

Thanks for the video its helped alot

Hey Robbie, the blinkers do cancel....you just aren't waiting long enough. About 450ft.

Hey Robbie.. thanks for an awesome video mate. Could you possibly tell me how does it handle on windy roads and hilly areas? I've been looking for one like this and you explained most of it. Cheers

You seem like a great bloke, great review.

Hey Robbie, I live just round the corner from you in Pelican Crt. I”ll be selling my Speed Triple to get something a bit more mrs friendly. I”d love to speak to you in person about yer bike. How can I contact you ? Cheers,

Thats a sexy looking bike ... the only thing i dislike is the sound of it

What gear (brand/model) is the sunglasses with HD camera, and what microphone are you using? Cool video review. Thanks.

Great review mate im also torn between the Highball and Stryker I just love the Highball I think its one of the best looking bikes on the road but you do raise a good point about the warranty and the price! the Stryker is great value for money. Iv got a vstar 650 at the mo and it never misses a beat. One question how do you find the handling at low speeds with that big rake especially coming from a much smaller bike?

Hey mate I took demo ride on 2016 today and was blown away with torque but was a little clunky in gear change. I am a big man but I’m only 177cm and not sure on comfort on a big ride as I have a Electra Glide atm. Definitely got me thinking on the Stryker for a different style of riding as the Electra Glide is a big tourer and heavy. Good review to mate 👍🏿

Cheers for this review of your bike mate, you're bang on with those pointers about the GV250 too. I currently own one and it takes a bit to start it. Once running warm its not too bad though. Pingin' down the highway to Perth on 7k revs! a good learners bike though I reckon! Like you said at the start, I too am currently scouring the net for the next ride, and I reckon you've pretty much sold me on this one! The only other contender (I reckon) is the 1700cc Kawi Vulcan Classic ABS, but im only a little dude (5' 7") and dont want a huge bike. Im all about customising though, and making a bike your own. The Stryker looks like a good base platform to start off with. P.S. Good to see you're courteous of the pensioners next door mate. I'll actually be in Wang in 2 months time anyway so I might hit up that bike shop in your vid... Thanks again :)

great review thanks.

Been looking at these. Only concern I have is that I hear it is very "chuggy" at low RPMs which can make slower driving or maneuvering difficult.

that fuel is good i can only get 110 km on $10 on my harley fatboy 2007 1584 cc so $ 40 would get me 440 km only good video mate ride safe

Nice bike Robbie, good review.

Robbie How tall are you....Thinking about the Stryker...I am 6'2" (1.89m) and 280 lbs (20st) and dropping. Planning on doing a lot of 2 up riding with my wife...and she is about 130 (9.3st). I could go with the 1800 Raider old new stock for $15000...but I can nab a Stryker old new stock for $8000 right now. Thanks for the review!

im looking at this bike as my first. Im 20 year old and about 6 foot 3 to 4. in between. I weigh about 300lbs. Would this be a good bike for me??

NICE BIKE!

You really got me laughing by: now there's a plane coming in! XD

I have a 1998 1500 Suzuki intruder but love to have the Stryker , I'm from iceberg ally , newfoundland

its because its a Yamaha Hammer! awesome bikes

Great review, non-biased. I like the look of the bike, nice profile, the only cosmetic, downside are the exhaust pipes, wish they were lower profile, straight, "shotgun", style pipes, to be able to mount some decent hard shell saddlebags. I don't like the thin front end forks, either, would look better with outside fork tins, for a more massive look on the front end. As far as performance, STAR bikes are all very well engineered, and high performance cruisers, with lots of H.P. and torque, on the rear wheel and torque is the name of the game in cruisers, to get one down the road, effortlessly. Thanks for the review of this bike.

Great bike Robbie boy and good price too, i had a CBR fireblade back in the late 90's (christ that long ago) loved it, was a 900 supersport. The only problem you have now mate is where the f%$k are you going to put the rod holders? Cheers Moose

The blinker goes off after a time/distance combination.....read your manual

Fuck yeah, this is what I was after.. cheers brother!

Great Aussie review 👍

Hey Robbie what’s your update after 5 years with the bike

How is the turning radius?

I want one

g r e a t review, mate! Thanks !

my turn signals turn off automatically, don't know why yours doesn't

Anyone else notice the tornado 🌪 beyond him at 7:15 haha

Nice motorbike! You have to watch out riding on the wrong side of the road like that mate! ; P

I have the same bike except the exhaust.

There is tornado behind him . On start in 7-th min.

vfast007: In Texas, loud pipes save lives, the louder the better.......

I didn't know you ride??????? I only ride dirt and quad bikes

stntmn7964: San Antonio biker, here, too..........and even with loud pipes, the cagers, will get you.......sooner or later, after 45 years of hard riding, a cager made a left turn at the last moment in front of me, in an intersection and almost sent me to the morgue.......and I have Cobra Speedster Longs, loud pipes, but, even they can't stop a determined cager, ready to do you in...........Just saying.........
