Well, I finally did it. I traded in my '08 Raider for a KTM 1290 Super Adventure. One hour into the ride home and I knew I made the right choice. Ever since moving from the east coast out to California I have felt the Raider wasn't a good fit for the type of riding I do out here. In the looks department the Raider wins hands down but out on the highways at 80+ mph with that small gas tank, it just came up short. I will always love the Raider. I still think it's the best cruiser out there. I wish you all the best. Ride On!
