Yamaha Bolt R-spec

The Yamaha Bolt R-spec has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated), produces 54 hp and weighs 252 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

ヤマハボルト(XVS950CU)は、アメリカのクラシックなカスタムモーターサイクルカルチャーからインスピレーションを得て、942ccのVツインエンジンを搭載したモダンなボバースタイルのクルーザーとして2013年に発表されました。R-Specバリアントには、よりスポーティなボバールックを求めるライダーにアピールするために、リアサスペンションの調整オプションと、より黒く塗られたアグレッシブな美学が追加されました。その軽量シャーシ、トルキーなローエンドのパワーデリバリー、そしてカスタムクルーザーセグメントにおける手頃な価格設定により、瞬く間に人気を博しました。

購入者が知っておくべきこと

🔧

Rock-Solid Reliability

The Bolt R-Spec uses a simple, air-cooled 942cc V-twin engine derived from proven Yamaha technology, making it one of the most dependable bikes in its class. Owners regularly report 20,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine maintenance.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

The belt drive system, while low-maintenance, can crack or fray if exposed to oil leaks or road debris — inspect it carefully on used models. A replacement belt runs roughly $100-$150, but labor can add significantly to that cost.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Bolt R-Spec holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 70-80% of its original price after two to three years. Its popularity in the custom/bobber community keeps demand high on the used market.

Style-conscious urban riders wanting reliable Japanese quality

"A genuinely rewarding urban cruiser that rewards patient, style-conscious riders."

$5,500-$7,500 used

The Bolt R-Spec is Yamaha doing what Yamaha does best — taking a simple concept and executing it with surgical precision. The R-Spec trim adds bar-end mirrors, a solo seat cowl, and blacked-out engine components that genuinely elevate the stock look without screaming 'I paid extra for this.' The 942cc air-cooled V-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, and that torque hits right where you want it for street riding. It's not fast, but it's satisfying in a way bigger bikes sometimes aren't. Used examples are everywhere now, which cuts both ways. You'll find plenty of low-mileage bikes from riders who bought the look and forgot to ride — that's a win for buyers. Watch for poorly done bolt-on customization (pun intended), especially exhaust swaps that killed the tune. The seat is genuinely terrible for anything over 45 minutes, and the suspension is tuned for someone who weighs 140 pounds. Budget for a better seat and maybe a fork spring upgrade if you're over 180lbs.
