Suzuki M109R or Yamaha Raider?

Question

Which of these would you choose (if you were hypothetically in the cruiser market), and why?

Answer 1

Yamaha is nicer looking-without a doubt.

I can't say which bike is the better performer, I just don't have the facts.

Answer 2

I'd go with the Raider.

It's more of a performance-oriented cruiser I think

The M109R seems too massive to be practical

Answer 3

I'd go with the Raider but it depends upon what you like.

Answer 4

I would go with the raider thats one hot bike and joe b if your out there that raider would blow away the harley rockers anyday anywhere. U know it and just ashamed you paid to much for your bike.......yamaha rules.  I ride with harley owners  and have got nothing but complements on my roadstar.  so who is laughing now. to each there own as long as they are riding and being free. so get over your problem with metric bikes because they are here to stay.....

Answer 5

Don't buy either......If you want a cruiser, go buy a Harley.  I'm so sick of seeing these posers riding around on their "wanna-be" Harley's.  They're NOT Harleys.

I have to laugh at these guys......and now you know Harley riders laugh at these wanna-be's.

Don't get me wrong, If you have a 80's yamaha and you enjoy it, that's cool, because you like it for what it is and NOT because of what it's trying to be.  It is what it is.  Cool with me.

I just have a problem with these d**n try to copy jobs.
