The Raider by Star Motorcycles continues to garner prestigious industry awards from the motorcycle press.

 The latest is a “Ten Best” Award from Cycle World Magazine.

 In winning the award for “Best Cruiser”, Cycle World said “It’s pretty easy to build a fat tired, raked out custom; the hard part is building one that feels and behaves like a “normal” motorcycle. And so far, no one has done it better than the Star Raider. The Raider handles amazingly well. Combine that with the thunderous torque laden engine and you have one of the most satisfying rides of its kind ever built”.

 “Now in its 33rd year, the ‘Ten Best’ Award is one of Cycle World’s most prestigious and we honored to be recognized  by its experienced and well respected journalists ” said Bob Starr, General Manager of Communications for Star Motorcycles.
