2013 Yamaha XV1900 Raider S – SN585

2013 Yamaha XV1900 Raider S – Muscle Cruiser Royalty, Now in the UK

A Rare, Imported Gem – One Owner, Only 10,284 Miles

We are thrilled to offer this exceptional, one-owner 2013 Yamaha XV1900 Raider S, recently imported from Florida – and now ready for its very first UK roads. This is not just another cruiser; this is a rare breed of high-performance custom engineering, a motorcycle that commands attention, reverence, and adrenaline with every twist of the throttle.

🏍 The Raider Legacy: Where Muscle Meets Art

Launched in 2008, the Yamaha Raider was born from the revered Star Motorcycles division – Yamaha’s dedicated custom cruiser brand for the North American market. Designed specifically for riders who demanded more than chrome and comfort, the Raider was Yamaha’s bold answer to Harley-Davidson’s custom dominance, delivering not only stunning aesthetics but also genuine street-shaking performance.

At the heart of the Raider lies the 1854cc (113 cubic inch) air-cooled, pushrod V-twin – the most powerful V-twin Yamaha had ever produced. With its massive torque curve, thundering sound, and low-slung stance, the Raider instantly gained cult status among muscle cruiser enthusiasts.

🎨 Design Inspiration & Engineering Excellence

Unlike many cruisers that opt for retro cues, the Raider’s design is an aggressive blend of modern muscle and stretched chopper attitude. The long 70.9-inch wheelbase, raked-out front forks, and sculpted fuel tank blend seamlessly with its massive engine block and low-profile stance. But this wasn’t just about looks – Yamaha engineered the Raider with superb handling and balance, using a lightweight aluminum frame and precision geometry that let it ride as good as it looks.

🔍 Understanding Raider Trims: Where the ‘S’ Stands Out

The Raider was produced in several variations, with key models being:

• Standard Raider – Matte finishes, minimal chrome, and blacked-out components.

• Raider S – This premium variant features showcase-level chrome plating on the triple trees, fork tubes, risers, air intake, and engine covers, offering a brighter, more polished finish to accentuate its street presence.

• Raider SCL (Star Custom Line) – A limited-edition variant with exclusive paint, accessories, and serialized badging.

This Raider S model captures the perfect middle ground: luxury-grade finishes without losing the raw attitude that defines the bike.

🔧 Ride Quality & Performance

The Raider’s 5-speed gearbox is mated to a belt final drive, providing silky smooth shifts and low maintenance ownership. The massive 123 lb-ft of torque comes on early and strong, making this bike just as comfortable rumbling around town as it is stretching its legs on long highway rides. The low-slung 27.4-inch seat height makes it surprisingly manageable for a wide range of riders.

Suspension is handled by 43mm KYB front forks and a hidden rear shock that keeps the chopper look intact while still delivering a comfortable, responsive ride. Braking is handled by twin 298mm discs up front and a single 310mm disc at the rear – plenty of stopping power for a bike of this stature.
