[schimbo stryker]

Heres a thread where we can combine all the topics of the 2012 stryker
http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/products/modelgallerylib/653/1/0/gallery.aspx
They are offering 3 colors

$11,340 (Reddish Copper) Available from September 2011
$11,340 (Candy Red) Available from September 2011
$11,090 (Raven) Available from September 2011


The Reddish Copper is the Exact Same except for the Star logo design.

The Candy Red is a 2011 Raven with Red paint instead of black. Same tank design and all. With updated Star logo.
The Candy Red also has the black wheels with a color matched pin stripe.

The Raven is the only one without a tank graphic. It now has all chrome instead of Black. Even silver wheels. With updated Star Logo.

IMO The Candy Red is the best option for 2012.

Defiantly like the blacked out raven better.

While I am not too keen of the revamped Raven, I to kinda like the Candy Red one.

When I was buying my Raven, I was looking at the Reddish Copper and thought if you took the fenders, tank, and side pieces and swapped them onto the Raven, that it would look sweet. The Candy Red proves to myself I was correct 8). But definitely glad I got the '11 Raven.

black pipes will definitely look good on my reddish copper bike

Good news for the 2011 Raven owners, they will keep their values. The 2012 Raven is not, in my book, as good looking as the 2011.

The reven looks much better with black wheels. I do like the red and black color combination on the candy red.

Even though I have swapped out my stock black exhaust on my Raven with chrome swepts, I can't understand why they would change up the 2012 Raven like they did. I don't have any actual numbers, but just going by this forum the Ravens seem to be about 3-1 the choice in color. And I think it has a lot to do with the blacked out look.

I agree. The raven is sick when it is all blacked out. I dont like to blend in. I wanted a vibrant color. thats why I got the blue

Well, you definitely don't blend in anymore!

lol thanks bro. I was so close to buying the raven, but the second dealer i went to to buy the bike only had the blue and red plus I liked the silver wheels more than the black becasue you could see more of the design on the wheel.

 

[strykenshane]

i'm sure the 2012 buyers will go nuts with the mods too, hopefully this model will be around for a good while.

I think the candy red is too much like the raider with that design on the tank.

Well the blue was short lived ,Mango lives on. ;D

I can see what you are saying, but I just like the candy red color.
