Found this forum while doing a search on Stryker last night...so new to the forum....and and don't actually have one...... yet....
About ready to get back into riding.......it's been a while.....Been numerous years, used to have a Ninja......May be a midlife crisis thing ;) and recently got the wife's......OK ::)
Looking for a cruiser, but not really sure which bike I'm gonna get......Still in the research stage....The Stryker is currently #1 on the list.......

Saw the Stryker the other day in the shop.......looks pretty sweet,
Went in with my buddy, who just bought a Ninja, to look at a Vulcan (don't want anything too big) , came out loving the Raven Stryker look. My buddy thinks I need at least a 1200......

Thinking about heading over to the....Harley shop :eek: to look at a few of their midsize bikes......And maybe the Yamaha shop to look at the Blue Stryker.....

Hoping to become part of the Stryker family.....but I like to research things a while before buying.........

Any advice and/or reasons to go with the Stryker over others would be appreciated.....

Re: On the fence.....

Seems like others I was debating between the Fury and Stryker. The Stryker won because of price, back tire and belt drive. Unlike other the steel to plastic fenders was not a issue. I laugh at people who post this was a reason, because many will then buy a plastic fender as a mod. Steel fender only makes a difference if you are going to take that fender a cut and mod it.

Re: On the fence.....

Your right. Plastic chrome may be cheap, but this is what keeps down the price of the bike. If everything was metal, then you would be paying close to what the Raider costs is. Plus, the after market is a bigger buisness then the actual sales of the bikes themselves. This is why no one ever likes their exhaust, grips, mirrors etc.

OH YA! I don't want to see you guys in the Low and Mean group buy, purchacing any cheap plastic. ;D ;D ;D Just kidding.

Never ment that Low and Mean makes cheap plastic. I'm a big fan of them and Chris. I had a post about them. Actually they make their products out of fiberglass. I've got the rad cover and love it.
