Star Stryker

The Stryker’s most distinctive attribute is its raised steering head proudly and clearly on display in front of a peanut-y fuel tank cocked skyward. “The muscular, forward-lunging look reinterprets classic custom ‘chopper’ styling for the 21st century,” according to Yama-Star.

Continuing the chopper theme is a front end kicked out at a radical 40 degrees thanks to a 6-degree triple-clamp offset. Unlike Star’s Raider, which has a similar profile but isn’t as lean, the Stryker’s double-cradle frame is made from steel rather than aluminum. Its seat has the now-customary low height (26.4 inches) that showroom riders love, aiding sales conversions. Foot controls are placed relatively close to the rider, and the one-inch tubular handlebar connects directly to the upper triple clamp for a clean appearance
