I was a long time Harley Davidson owner. Although I loved my ‘Big Twin’ Harleys, they were hard to live with in the CBD environment in which I live. Loud, shakey, overheated and hard to move in my small garage. I’ve now bought a Bolt ! Very happy with this bike. It is smaller than my old Harleys but is much easier to live with in the crowded urban area.

Very informative video with just the type of details and comments i was looking for while researching for my first bike. As yourself, i put engagement and fun factor at the top of my priorities list (at least with cars), but im not much of a sportbike guy. So far the Bolt is at the top of the list.

if you are planning on modifying it. Skip the fuel commander and grab what's known as "Ivan's Tune"

I had this same bike for almost 2 years. Like you said this bike had more, much more compliments, stares, you name it, than all my other 16 bikes combined! So why did I sell it, I didn’t want to racer riding position. I never had the sore wrists people complain of, but I certainly got a sore neck on longer journeys, and I just couldn’t really enjoy the view as much given how far you lean over.

I can see that. The sore neck i've had a time or 2 but that only happens when i'm fully tucked in. I'm debating on getting into a XSR 900 soon but they're pricey where i live.

I love that Yamaha basically fills the gap that HD left by getting rid of the traditional sportsters. The current Yamaha Bolt is basically an Iron 883 just Yamahas take on it. (Which even owning a HD forty Eight that i love, i feel like the Bolt is probably more reliable than an Iron 883 lol. Not because of the engine, because it takes alot to destroy a sporty evo engine.) My buddy who used to ride sport bikes with me, had an R6. Sold his bikes when starting a family and ive recently convinced him to get back on a bike. Like me, ive got him wanting more of a cruiser style, laid back type of bike. Being hes a Yamaha guy, told him to check out the Bolt, hes now very likely buying one lol.

13:20 the whole C-Spec "trim" is just an after thought of the original Bolt design hence the awkward placement of this versions foot pegs. I do like my standard Bolt though.
@NakaNakaDerkaDerka

I no think the standard bolt would be a better choice given the very aggressive riding position of the c spec.

In my opinion, take them both out for a test ride. That's the best way to really judge what works for you.

I would love to have a bike like this. Unfortunately I am living in Sweden. I need to save ALL of my salary / pension for 1,5 year to afford it. And I do need to pay for rent, food, tax etc. So here in this country you need appr 2,5 to 4 years of hard savings to get all the money it takes to buy such an MC.

An average person (not a rich person) will have appr 7 000 to 9 000 dollars per year in salary. Then the tax is deducted. Salary / pension after tax is appr 3 000 to 3 800 dollars per year. Rent is appr the same as in USA. Healthcare is of cause free, but food is more than double as much as you pay in USA.

saw one today at a local dealership for $6k w/ only 1500 miles on it. Thinking about picking it up as my first bike. I think the only thing that is holding me back is the airbox. How comfortable is the bike for longer rides?

From what I understand replacing the Steering head bearings for Tapered ones fixes it completely. $30 fix, don’t know how hard that is to do though.
