Buying Used Yamaha Stryker 1300 on Craigslist: Test Ride, Impressions, Mini Review, Cobra Exhaust 

Hahaha! He'll be lapping me in no time.

Thanks, brotha! Sounds like your bike will still have potential to get you into trouble. Lol. But I know what you mean with the sport bikes. Throw a leg over and they turn you into a complete loco! Lol.

Thanks, brotha! Yeah, my kids love the bikes. Even just cruising around the barrio they have such a blast. I still remember riding the three wheeler with my grandpa growing up. Those memories last forever!

Thanks, Mike! He's already giving me a run for my money.

Jack Attack is so cute and such a promising young rider. I LOVE my Stryker so much. It's the first muscle cruiser I've ever bought and it sure won't be the last. Actually, it's not because I already bought a Vulcan Classic 1500 which is a BEAST, too.

I can definitely say that he for sure is a loving and caring father! Thanks for your comment!

@@jaclyno5224 np jackie that guys just a hater wish he had a amazing family and like 20 bikes lmao

Hahaha...thanks you guys. Jackie, does this mean I'm out of the dog house? And brandon, thanks bro! Instill haven't forgotten the $20 Amazon gift card I owe you for guessing the victory price. Lol. I'll get it to you eventually, with interest. Hahaha.

@@JonsMotoGarage btw man that bikes pretty quick

Nice! Yeah, they're really fun bikes. Frankly, I have a blast riding anything with two wheels. Lol.

Yeah, the cobra gives it a pretty good rumble!

Yeah, we have to get the notary here as well. I'm used to it now but it definitely adds extra steps.

I may have to delete your comment now that you figured me out. Hahaha. Spot on! The little dudes are my inspiration for everything. They keep me young at heart. Lol.

Jase M lol

I'm no pro at it, but I'm sure someone would like to see how it's done. I'll have to get on that. Thanks for the idea!

@@JonsMotoGarage be sure and tell why u use the arched ramped to not bottom out the bikes and why the wider ramps are better then the single straight ramps

Good points.

Exactly! There are so many options to choose from. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not partial to any one bike. I'll mob em all if I get a chance! Lol.

I feel you, im 52 and dreamed of a harley my entire life. Now that im ready to buy a bike after research, that harley is overpriced...and not very good. Im a bang for the buck type guy, and harley does not come close. Going with an 07 stratoliner 1900cc for 5 grand, sometimes less, with extras already added. How much do you have to pay to get a 1900cc equivalent from harley again...20 grand?

Both great bikes for sure!

Ooooh, good question! Personally, I've never ridden the breakout, but I'd love to get my hands on one! I think as a taller guy at your height, that a bigger bike like the breakout (engine and wheelbase), would fit you better long term than something like the stryker. I'm not sure on the breakout specs off the top of my head. I know the engine will be the larger 103ci/1690cc (or bigger if you get the cvo). And if you're mostly carving canyons and don't plan on doing cross country trips, I think the breakout fits the bill. Of course you'll want to sit on a few and go for a ride if possible to see how it feels. Let me know if you end up getting one! That'd be awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!

For sure! Between you and me, I picked this one up for $4500 and it had only 2k miles. Good deals are out there, but you sometimes have to be patient. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I wish I had both bikes in the garage to bring you guys a true side by side look of the two. I may still do a video showing clips of both bikes and discussing some of the basic differences. There are a few ways to look at comparisons: reliability, performance, comfort, and lastly personal preference/style. Probably a few other things you can consider as well. I don't get into the real nitty gritty differences. I always recommend doing research regarding reliability on any bike you decide to buy so you can draw your own conclusion (I think both are going to be about the same as long as you do basic maintenance and don't thrash em). Performance is also one where you either need to ride the two and see which you prefer, or you can look at the objective data (hp, torque, 0-60,etc.) and decide that way. I think both are close enough that it won't make huge difference. And the same goes for comfort. Every individual is a bit different. So, ultimately, if you get a chance to ride each, I would decide based on your personal preference. Sorry, that's a real round about way of getting at it. Lol. But based on my experience, I would go with the one that you like after looking at the big picture (all of the above). Thanks for watching and subscribing! Stay tuned for a comparison vid at some point!

Thanks, man! I sold it a few months back. Sorry, man!

That I can probably do. I dont have the fury at the moment, but I have enough footage to splice something together. Great idea!

@@JonsMotoGarage would be looking forward to that one.

I would try to get it for $5k-$5500. But truth be told of you're keeping it long term, the $500 difference wont make q huge differenxe. I'll reveal the price on this at some point in the future...

Creo que te va a gustar mucho si compras una. Son muy buenas y originales! Gracias por mirar el video!

Better than the raider for beginners, but still not quite there yet. Lol. I think the general concensus among seasoned riders is that we should all start out in the dirt. While this wasn't the case for me, I still think it would've given me q much better foundation. I'll get your shout out/profile here soon. Instill dig the grey way more than the white.

Jon's Moto Garage yes the raider is a beast i love them too, if i could i would have one bike of all makes and models, i like them all.

Jon's Moto Garage i started on my dads ninja zx11 back in south america, i was 14 and he let me get on that monster, but i also had 2 slow scooters growing up lol. Than my first bike was a gsxr 1000, def didnt follow the recommended riding guidelines where you are supposed to start small lol. My dad is 60 and has no bike but still rides, he just comes and steals mine 😡😡😡. The stryker is my first cruiser.

@@humblewarriorus Hahaha...that's crazy! Where abouts in South America (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm a wannabe latino. Lol.

Jon's Moto Garage hahahaahah im from Ecuador is kinda close to argentina.

Absolutely, you never know when you might hit a pot hole or anything that could make him let go. I understand when you are younger you don't think about what can happen at any given moment ahead. But when you get a little age under the belt then it's clearer what might and can happen. I am not saying at all that you don't love that child. I'm just saying think really hard before you do stuff like this about what can happen. I just don't want to see heartache come to you. And thanks for the videos I enjoy them.

I hear ya. Compared to the Raider, it feels like a toy though. Lol. It's all relative. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!

Hahahaha....I'll take it! (I had to look up G Easy). Lol.

@@JonsMotoGarage 😂 The black shades is what reminded me of him lol. Hands down you are the best moto channel and I have been watching motorcycle channels for years. I'm so close to having enough money to buy my first bike. I'm 19. Keep it up your channel is growing fast.👍

I didn't discuss price in this vid. I may reveal it at some point in a future vid.

@@JonsMotoGarage I'm a fool I realised you buy and flip.None of my business. Sorry to ask but cool vids man I subscribed just got my permit today. What kind of bike would you recommend for a first ? Also why do Indian motorcycles have such a bad rep?

@@forgedabouted no worries, man! All good. I actually plan on hanging onto this one for a while. (That doesnt always pan out though. Lol). Congrats on the permit! The best beginner bike is a tough one. You have to look at what kind of riding you plan on doing, what your size/ht/wt. is. And ultimately, you wanna get something that you like. A few solid entry level cruisers are the Kawasaki vulcan 900, yamaha vstar 950, suzuki boulevard 800, and sportster 883. All can be found with low miles in good condition for under $4k (depending on the market). If you're real patient, you can get the metric cruisers for $2500-$3000. Keep me posted on your status! Ride safe!

@@JonsMotoGarage thanks bro I most definitely will. Im going to look into those bikes aswell

@@forgedabouted 🤙
