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.
O Yamaha XV950 (vendido como Bolt na América do Norte) foi lançado em 2013 como um cruzador moderno em estilo bobber construído em torno de um clássico motor V-twin refrigerado a ar. Ele foi projetado para atrair ciclistas que buscam uma estética minimalista e despojada que lembra a cultura personalizada do bobber, inspirando-se no conceito Star Bolt. O modelo ganhou muitos seguidores por sua potência acessível, baixa altura do assento e estilo personalizado de fábrica, gerando variantes como o XV950R (Bolt R-Spec) com uma configuração mais agressiva.

O que os compradores devem saber
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.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A genuinely well-built cruiser that rewards sensible buyers over brand loyalists."
$5,500-$8,500 usedThe 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.
