2013 yamaha bolt - new yamaha cruiser

Yamaha Star Motorcycles the US sub brand for cruisers of the global motorcycle giant Yamaha, has just announced the Bolt, a 950cc V-Twin air cooled cruiser for the US. The Bolt will also be available in an R-spec version. The R-spec version gets a better looking paint job and other minor details. Both the cruisers will have many optional accessories that will enable buyers to customize the Bolt in many unique ways. Priced at almost half the cost of the recently launched Harley Breakout, the price proposition will definitely enable the Bolt to capture a huge chunk of the market from buyers in this category. The Yamaha Bolt stripped-down, chrome-free comes in Raven and Pearl White. The R-Spec version will be sold in Matte Grey and Camo Green.
