The Yamaha Bolt (also known as Star Bolt and XV950) is an entry level cruiser and café racer motorcycle introduced in 2013 as a 2014 model. It has a 58-cubic-inch (942cc) air cooled 4-stroke, 4-valve SOHC V-twin engine. An optional R-Spec model has reservoir shocks. The 2015 Yamaha Bolt, C-Spec and R-Spec were released in July 2014. In 2015 the XV950SCR (Scrambler) was released and the C Spec model was dropped from the lineup. The Bolt is very well supported by the aftermarket and has proven to be a very customizable platform, lending itself well to the bobber, chopper, brat and scrambler styles among others. In addition to the large aftermarket companies several smaller companies are also marketing a wide range of parts for these bikes.
