The Star Raider represents a turnkey custom styled to fit in with the chopper crowd, but endowed with sophisticated engineering designed to provide a level of handling and polish often missing from aftermarket bikes.

Star's now familiar 113 cubic inch (1854cc) air-cooled pushrod 48-degree v-twin has a traditional look and feel Star's surveys indicate that custom riders are looking for.

With a huge 3.5 liter airbox, and an "Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve" (EXUP) residing in the two-into-one-into-two exhaust specifically designed for the Raider, expect the huge torque cruiser fans are looking for at very low rpm (peaking at 2,500 rpm) with horsepower peaking at 4,500 rpm.

In order to give the Raider that extreme chopper look, the forks are raked-out in the chopper style and unique tires (21 inch in front and 18 inch in rear) carry unusual dimensions to enhance handling. The 21 inch front tire has a wide 120/70 profile, while the rear is a 210/40-18. These are the tallest and widest tires ever on a Star Motorcycle, respectively.

Suspension is handled by a 46mm fork providing 5.1 inches of travel, and a hidden single shock out back. The seamless fuel tank carries 4.1 gallons.

Modern, powerful brakes bring the Raider to a stop -- dual 298mm discs up front, and a single 310mm disc out back.
