What's up guys, figured I'd introduce myself here. Been riding bikes for the last 4 years now. I've own 3 sportbikes and 1 supermoto. Selling the supermoto to buy a Stryker. All of my buddies have sold their bikes, and trackdays are getting way to expensive. Stryker will be much more comfortable but still has a bad ass sporty look to it! Really looking forward to getting one and switching over to the cruiser side of things. Here's a few pictures of my bikes over the years. 2006 GSX-R 600, 2009 Yamaha R6, 2006 Yamaha R1, 2009 Suzuki DRZ400SM.

Welcome, between the Gsx-r and the R6 which one did you like the best?
Both being stock I'd have to take the GSX-R after I got done modding my r6 to make it the way I wanted, that for sure!

Welcome.... When I went bike shopping, I was looking at sport bikes... Then I ended up with the Stryker...
For me it's just the look and comfort now. Trackdays cost way to much and no one I rode with before has a bike anymore, so it's time to find something more comfy that I could ride with pops!

Man that R6 was a pretty bike! Welcome to the forums.
Thank you sir. Pretty much made it into my dream bike. I should have hung on to it for sure.

Welcome from Buffalo, NY. Where in wny are you?

Welcome. 2012 red Stryker here.
I have been in Georgetown,TX (north of Austin) for 12 years. A transplant from Rochester area (Fairport).
Went shopping for a Honda Interstate or Fury and bought the Stryker. Price point makes mods very do-able.
Kury ISO grips, swinging pegs, Cobra Swept pipes and auto tuner, S &S Customs air intake, Parts Unlimited seat, Star detachable windshield and backrest/luggage rack.
Great forum, great bike, you will be a happy Stryker owner (if the snow ever melts up there). Do they still make jello in Leroy?!

You're not kidding about the snow!! Seems like it melts and just when Mother Nature starts to give hope she drops another 2 inches! As far as Jell-O goes no more making it here! We just call ourselves "The Birthplace of Jell-O" I believe it is made in Utah now. Pretty sure Utah goes by "The Home of Jell-O." I'm very excited to switch over to the cruiser side. I absolutely love the look of the Stryker and just doing my research you're right on the money, modding isn't crazy expensive.

I was originally looking at the Honda interstate too. Went to see them in person at a dealer that carries all brands, and that's when I saw the Stryker.. went home and started looking it up, and that's when I found this forum.. the rest is history..
