Yamaha Bolt 950

The Yamaha Bolt 950 has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated; note: not officially published by Yamaha), produces 54 hp and weighs 252 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Yamaha Bolt (được gọi là Star Bolt ở một số thị trường) được giới thiệu vào năm 2013 như một tàu tuần dương kiểu bobber hiện đại được chế tạo xung quanh động cơ V-twin làm mát bằng không khí 942ccm. Nó được thiết kế để thu hút một thế hệ tay đua mới tìm kiếm một tính thẩm mỹ tối giản, lột trần lấy cảm hứng từ văn hóa xe máy tùy chỉnh cổ điển, đồng thời cung cấp độ tin cậy hiện đại. Bolt nhanh chóng có được một lượng người theo dõi mạnh mẽ nhờ các dòng sản phẩm sạch sẽ, kích thước có thể quản lý và tiềm năng tùy biến, vẫn được sản xuất với tương đối ít thay đổi do công thức được đón nhận nồng nhiệt của nó.

Những điều người mua nên biết

🔧

Rock-Solid Reliability

The Bolt's air-cooled 942cc V-twin engine is derived from proven Yamaha V-Star technology, making it one of the most dependable engines in its class with minimal reported failures.

⚠️

Watch the Fuel Pump

Some owners report fuel pump issues and rough idling, particularly on earlier models (2013-2015). Always check for updated fuel mapping or dealer recalls before purchasing a used Bolt.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Bolt holds its value exceptionally well due to its popularity as a customizable bobber-style platform, with used models often retaining 70-80% of their original value after 2-3 years.

Urban riders wanting reliable weekend custom project

"A honest, characterful cruiser that rewards buyers who do their homework."

$4,500-$6,500 used

The Bolt 950 is Yamaha doing what Yamaha does best — taking a simple concept and executing it properly. The air-cooled 942cc V-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, sounds genuinely good through the stock pipes, and the whole package feels honest rather than trying to be something it isn't. Used examples are everywhere now, and most have been babied by weekend riders who never saw rain. That's your opportunity. Check the rear suspension — it's the Bolt's weakest point and previous owners often ignored it completely. Stock shocks are mediocre at best, so budget $300-400 for replacements if they're still original. Also inspect for tank rust on bikes that sat unused; it happens more than you'd expect on these. Footpeg vibration above 65mph is real and annoying on long runs, so be honest about your riding style before committing. For city riding, canyon carving on weekends, or anyone building their first custom project bike, the Bolt makes enormous sense used. It's reliable, parts are cheap, and the community support is excellent.
