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.
Yamaha Bolt (XVS950CU) 2013 yılında, klasik Amerikan özel motosiklet kültüründen ilham alan 942cc V-twin motor üzerine inşa edilmiş modern bir bobber tarzı kruvazör olarak tanıtıldı. R-Spec varyantı, daha sportif bir bobber görünümü isteyen sürücülere hitap etmek için bir arka süspansiyon ayar seçeneği ve daha kararmış, agresif bir estetik ekledi. Hafif şasisi, torklu düşük uç güç dağıtımı ve özel kruvazör segmentinde erişilebilir fiyat noktası ile hızla popülerlik kazandı.

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.

"A genuinely rewarding urban cruiser that rewards patient, style-conscious riders."
$5,500-$7,500 usedThe 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.
