My first bike was a VStar 650 Custom. I had read many reviews on smaller bikes and felt the most comfortable when I sat on the Star. After I got 10,000+ miles under my belt I was ready for a much bigger bike. I was looking for something I could keep up with my husband, Ares X. He had bought an '09 Raider and loves it. He has been dying for me to make up my mind and get something new. I was going over all my options American and metric and nothing grabbed me. I wasn't quite up for the size of the Raider and was thrilled when Star announced the Stryker. Great engine size, nice weight for someone my size and great balance. The only thing that threw me off was the radiator. Just not esthetically pleasing. My husband later pointed out all of the accessories that L&M were planning, including the chin spoiler. This sold it for me. I chose the Raven and we picked it up last week. This is a great bike and I can't wait to start customizing it to make it my very own. We took it out for a ride last weekend and took some pics. Hope these picture is acceptable for the contest!!!
