Yamaha Introduces 2017 Bolt and Bolt R-Spec Models

Cypress, CA – June 8, 2016 – Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., today introduced its 2017 Bolt and Bolt R-Spec cruiser motorcycles. 

Exemplifying the stripped-down “Urban Bobber” look, the compact chassis on the Bolt and Bolt R-Spec proudly showcase the 58-cubic-inch (942cc), air-cooled, 60° V-twin engine sitting at the heart of each bike.The Bolt’s iconic style and performance have drawn enthusiastic praise from both customers and the motorcycling press.

For 2017, the Bolt features a new flangeless fuel-tank design that delivers an even cleaner look, while new wire-spoked, aluminum rims strike a stylish new pose on the standard Bolt.

The 2017 Bolt R-Spec adds a “Performance Bobber” attitude to the standard Bolt, with the addition of external-reservoir rear shocks, different colors and graphics, and a suede-type seat with contrasting stitching.

The 2017 Bolt will be available in Raven, and Bolt R-Spec will be available in two color options: Crimson Red and Silver Shadow. The Bolt will retail for $7,999, and the Bolt R-Spec is priced at $8,399. The Bolt will be available in Yamaha dealerships beginning in August, and the Bolt RSpec in July.
