Great Video, we put a 1.5" lift on the front forrks and a 1" lift on the back, combined with moving the controls to full on forward controls, substantially increased the lean angle making it even nicer to weave in and out of turns. Love the bike!!!

I am in my mid 60's now and have a multitude of bikes during my lifetime from racing in my youth to touring as I have aged. I bought a Bolt for my wife in 2016 and I must say, I enjoy riding that little thing more than about any other I have ever owned.

[@petermackay4267]

The Yamaha Bolt was my first bike. (1st was actually 30yrs ago so I'm counting this one as first.) I really enjoyed the bike. It is a good solid machine with Yamaha reliability. The air intake drove me crazy. Every bump it hit me in the knee so I traded it in for a 2019 Indian Scout and haven't looked back. They aren't really a fair comparison. I know they are relatively close in size etc., but the Scout is twice the cost and it shows. The Scout also has adjustable shocks and once they are dialed in for your weight, the ride is amazing. Until you get it right, it can actually be painful. Long story short, I enjoyed this Bolt, but love the Scout. It fits me better and handles better. Just my .02. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming. Thanks.

[@JD-pf1yx]

I bought one when they came out, still going strong and love it. Obviously it has its flaws, and takes some personalization to make it great but thats true for most bikes in my opinion. If someone is looking for a good commuter stock is fine, if you want more than that later the options are there.

You want to man spread a bit on this type of bike. It makes the ride more comfortable. This bike fits me perfectly. I’m 5’9 and 190lbs, with an inseam of 30”. It’s a modern copycat 883 sportster. Better performance and the reliability is better. Smoother riding. The looks is subjective to each their own, personally I like mine. Except for the instrument cluster.

[@dannybenfield]

When I went to buy my first bike. It was going to be either a used 883 or m50. I saw the bolt r-spec sat on it spent a good half hour sitting on them but one of the sales guys said get the bolt better lean angle then the 883. I bought it brand new and it’s only costing me a few bucks more then the used 883. I love the bike waiting on forward controls because at 6’4 and before I got new bars it just wasn’t comfy. New bars help though.

If it’s an RSPEC (which it seems to be) do not turn it into Cafe style. It is not meant for that. That’s why they make the CSpec. Two things, that tail light is stock for 2017 and newer. Not that it’s here nor there but you had said it doesn’t make the fuel priming sound but it actually does if your kill switch is disengaged before you put the key in the ignition and turn it on.

Mid-controls always give better handling than forward controls. It's just basic physics. Take a snow-skiing lesson and you will literally get feel for it. Learning to slalom ski will improve your motorcycle riding abilities, especially in the mountain twisties.

I own a 2019 bolt r spec as my first bike and I love it. I just installed the firebrand gran prix exhaust and it brought it to life. It’s sounds way more aggressive and responds even better.

[@chudgo081793]

You think that this bike is better than the sportster 883? I am going to buy one in Mexico in December, the options are the sporster, Boulevard c50, and the bolt, yet the bolt is really hard to find where I live.

[@trusttheprocess90]

jes g yes I do think it’s better, my friend has the iron 883 so I have driven both. There both awesome bikes. I don’t think you can go wrong with either tho. If you go for the bolt go for the r-spec it’s the better choice. Better suspension and solid rims not spokes

[@javilorenzana]

Hey Block, once again Kudo's for the Vid.....Just a few FYI's for the folks watching,... I own a Bolt, and let me give you some MPH Data on this beast. 1) It's a Metric, soooo.... Don't ride this Bike like it's a Harley!!, The Bolt is torquey as all get-out....BUT.....stop riding it up to 4000 rpm and then shift..... it's rev limit is 5780 rpm's..... Not 4500 rpm's as is the 883. Not complaining really ..... but don't be shifting like you were on the 883..... max torque is at 3,000 rpm + . so gun it ..... stop treating the Yammy like it's a Harley. It isn't....... it's better., Rev it up to about 5000+ then shift.... At Max Rev's: ....1st gear max = 36 mph, 2nd = 54 mph, 3rd = 71 mph, 4th = 89 mph, and 5th = 107 mph. ..Sooooo , get the rev's up there before shifting up..... if needed ! Oh yea, People, as Block said .... the shift has a positive feel.... However .... when you are booting off the line and go to shift up .... and you hear a CLUNK"... in any gear ..... it means you down shifted while accelerating..... Don't release the clutch!!.... but up shift twice to correct it. Yea different , but it's Yamaha's way of saying to you "oooppps" you went the wrong way....OK so... Bolt 58 cubes, 59.3 Ft lbs torque @3,000 rpm all the way through to 5780 rpm's. when the rev-limiter kicks in,...... 65 theoretical Hp .... more like 61 Hp actual/

Hey BH , good one. Most of All Y'all know this, but for the sake of those that don't..... Here goes.....On the Yamaha Bolt, For that "Weeeeahhh" sound of the fuel pump charging ,,,, do this...Neutral , kill switch off, then key, wait for display to clear..... start motor., kick stand up, etc, etc. ......anyways..... About the lean angle .... with my light a** weight of 145 on it , she tips to 38 degrees both sides.... you ... probably 35 ,,, maybe 33 degrees. ok nuff said there. The Bolt pulls 59.3 ft lb's at 3000 rpm through onto 5780 rpm , theoretical 65 HP.... But... at 5252 rpm ....ft lb's = hp, .... so it chops the HD 883 iron down to a 45 Hp motor, ( @ 4750 rpm max revs ), against the Bolt's 59 HP, ( @ 5252 rpm)....(The Bolt's Max rev's is about 5780 rpm = 65 hp )...... say vs the HD iron 1200 at 59 hp,( @ 3500 rpm max revs).... So Yamaha put the Bolt in to do Two things Here.... Keep the Dyna vision alive . and compete against it. ( Virago 250, The Bolt series ) It also has Soft-tail competitors as you know .... the Virago 650 and the Stryker... and the Vmax, ....Kawasaki Soft tails are Vulcans, nothing "Dyna-ish"about suspension or ride from them or seemingly intended, sooo ... I digress here ..... Nuff said from my end. Stay Safe.... Ciao

[@Yamahog]

I should state that in Canuck-ville .... Suzuki has also discontinued the Boulevard S40, 650 CC , so the remainder of their cruiser line are also soft-tails. The Suzuki S40 was a Dyna style 650 thumper.... Stay Safe /W

Could you do a review on the Suzuki Boulevard s40? I would really enjoy an honest review on it

[@JroGedePanji]

Yamaha is about technology...better than others

I love my BOLT. Didn't you already do a BOLT test ride?

[@discgolfdiz]

I've owned one, loved it

If you can grab rear set controls for the Bolt I'd go Cafe racer style. Otherwise, go with Club Style.

I really enjoyed this video. I'm thinking about getting into motorcycle riding for fun, short maybe day trips in the countryside. Looking for a cruiser that I can grow into 650-1000 cc range. Would love to have you do a similar test ride review of the Honda Shadow. Thank you. 🙏

Would you say its good for being 5ft6?
