Yamaha Xv 950

The Yamaha Xv 950 has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 54 hp and weighs 252 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Yamaha XV950 (sprzedawana jako Bolt w Ameryce Północnej) została wprowadzona w 2013 roku jako nowoczesny krążownik w stylu szpulkowym zbudowany wokół klasycznego chłodzonego powietrzem silnika V-twin. Został zaprojektowany, aby spodobać się jeźdźcom poszukującym minimalistycznej, pozbawionej estetyki przypominającej niestandardową kulturę bobber, czerpiąc inspirację z koncepcji Star Bolt. Model zyskał dużą popularność dzięki przystępnej mocy, niskiej wysokości siedziska i fabrycznie dostosowanej stylizacji, wariantom, w tym XV950R (Bolt R-Spec) z bardziej agresywną konfiguracją.

Rock-Solid Engine Reliability

The XV950's air-cooled 942cc V-twin is derived from proven Yamaha cruiser lineage, known for lasting well beyond 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. Oil changes and valve checks are the primary upkeep requirements.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

Some owners report premature wear on the belt drive system, especially if the bike sat unused for extended periods. Always inspect belt tension and condition before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XV950's bold bobber styling and Yamaha badge help it hold value better than many competitors in its class. Limited production numbers in some markets also contribute to steady demand on the used market.

7.5/10
Najlepszy dla
Style-conscious riders wanting Japanese reliability over chrome

"A genuinely well-built cruiser that rewards sensible buyers over brand loyalists."

$5,500-$8,500 used

The XV950 is Yamaha doing what Yamaha does best — taking a concept seriously and executing it properly. Built around that punchy 942cc air-cooled V-twin, it delivers genuine torque from low revs without the drama. Compared to Harley's Sportster, it feels more refined and considerably more reliable out of the box. Used examples from 2014 onwards are genuinely solid buys, and parts availability is decent enough that you won't be hunting obscure importers at 11pm. That said, be honest with yourself about what this is. The seat is low and comfortable, but the riding position suits shorter stints rather than all-day touring. The stock suspension is soft — borderline too soft if you're carrying a pillion or hitting B-roads enthusiastically. Check for corrosion around the chrome bits on older examples, and inspect the belt drive carefully. Previous owners who neglected basic maintenance will have left their mark.
