Yamaha Stryker 1300
The Yamaha Stryker 1300 has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated; note: not officially published by Yamaha), produces 67 hp and weighs 299 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Le Yamaha Star Stryker 1300 a été introduit en 2011 dans le cadre de la gamme Star Cruiser de Yamaha, conçue pour concurrencer le segment des cruisers customisés et de style chopper dominé par des modèles tels que le Honda Stateline. Construit autour du moteur bicylindre en V de 1304 cm3 éprouvé du V-Star 1300, il présentait un profil surbaissé, une partie avant allongée et un style agressif inspiré des bobbers qui le distinguaient des croiseurs traditionnels. Il a été abandonné après l'année modèle 2017 en raison de la contraction du marché des croiseurs, laissant un héritage en tant que croiseur de taille moyenne visuellement saisissant et performant.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The Stryker uses Yamaha's proven 1304cc V-twin engine shared with the V-Star 1300, known for exceptional longevity with proper maintenance. Many owners report 50,000+ miles with minimal mechanical issues.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive system is generally low-maintenance, but inspect for oil leaks around the rear drive unit on higher-mileage bikes. This is the most common mechanical concern reported by owners.
Strong Resale Value
The Stryker holds its value well compared to competitors due to its distinctive chopper styling and Yamaha's reliability reputation. Its 2011–2017 production run makes clean examples increasingly desirable on the used market.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Underrated, stylish cruiser offering serious value for savvy used buyers."
$5,000-$8,000 usedThe Stryker 1300 is one of those bikes that gets unfairly overlooked because it sits between Yamaha's V-Star lineup and the bigger V-Max. Don't sleep on it. The 1304cc V-twin pulls hard from low revs, the forward controls actually fit most riders without feeling stretched, and the low 27-inch seat height means shorter riders aren't fighting gravity at every stoplight. It's genuinely fun in ways that surprise you. Used examples are everywhere in the $5,000-$8,000 range and most are low-mileage garage queens from owners who bought the look and forgot the riding. Check the front forks for leaks — it's the most common issue — and inspect the rear shock, which can feel wallowy if the previous owner loaded it with a passenger regularly. The fuel injection is bulletproof if serviced properly, so ask for records. This isn't a cross-country tourer and it won't embarrass a Sportster in a straight line. But as a stylish, reliable, affordable cruiser that's actually enjoyable to ride daily? Hard to argue with the value.
