- This is my very first full length motorcycle review. It's on my own personal 2015 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec. A bike i purchased around 5 years ago and have a love hate relationship with. Don't get me wrong i wouldn't give up this bike for anything but at the same time there are things about it that make me question... WTF were they thinking?

I was a long time Harley Davidson owner. Although I loved my ‘Big Twin’ Harleys, they were hard to live with in the CBD environment in which I live. Loud, shakey, overheated and hard to move in my small garage. I’ve now bought a Bolt ! Very happy with this bike. It is smaller than my old Harleys but is much easier to live with in the crowded urban area.
Thanks for the video!
Your opinion about this motorcycle is very interesting.
Good luck to you!
Great content thank you so much! Picking mine up in the am! 16:10
Very informative video with just the type of details and comments i was looking for while researching for my first bike. As yourself, i put engagement and fun factor at the top of my priorities list (at least with cars), but im not much of a sportbike guy. So far the Bolt is at the top of the list.
Loved the review
I love that Yamaha basically fills the gap that HD left by getting rid of the traditional sportsters. The current Yamaha Bolt is basically an Iron 883 just Yamahas take on it. (Which even owning a HD forty Eight that i love, i feel like the Bolt is probably more reliable than an Iron 883 lol. Not because of the engine, because it takes alot to destroy a sporty evo engine.) My buddy who used to ride sport bikes with me, had an R6. Sold his bikes when starting a family and ive recently convinced him to get back on a bike. Like me, ive got him wanting more of a cruiser style, laid back type of bike. Being hes a Yamaha guy, told him to check out the Bolt, hes now very likely buying one lol.
Well done.
just picked up a 2015 c spec with 201 original miles on it. Looking forward to what it can actually do. thanks for the review.
if you are planning on modifying it. Skip the fuel commander and grab what's known as "Ivan's Tune"
@@FoxParasyte thanks I'll check into that
I had this same bike for almost 2 years. Like you said this bike had more, much more compliments, stares, you name it, than all my other 16 bikes combined!
So why did I sell it, I didn’t want to racer riding position. I never had the sore wrists people complain of, but I certainly got a sore neck on longer journeys, and I just couldn’t really enjoy the view as much given how far you lean over.
I can see that. The sore neck i've had a time or 2 but that only happens when i'm fully tucked in. I'm debating on getting into a XSR 900 soon but they're pricey where i live.
13:20 the whole C-Spec "trim" is just an after thought of the original Bolt design hence the awkward placement of this versions foot pegs. I do like my standard Bolt though.
I no think the standard bolt would be a better choice given the very aggressive riding position of the c spec.
Great review, was eyeing this or the Kawa Z900rs, leaning towards the Bolt
In my opinion, take them both out for a test ride. That's the best way to really judge what works for you.
Hey which one did you choose and are you happy with it
Thanks for helping to save me money.
saw one today at a local dealership for $6k w/ only 1500 miles on it. Thinking about picking it up as my first bike. I think the only thing that is holding me back is the airbox. How comfortable is the bike for longer rides?
I talked about that in the video.
Answer is, it's not comfortable. But I've learned to adjust to it. So I don't really notice it
I never had an issue with the air box
Do these still have the death wobble problem? Has there been a fix?
I'm not sure, i hope someone else can help with that.
I know that i've been on a 2019 that DID have the death wobble. Brand new bike as well.
One of my complaints with Yamaha,Kawasaki, etc.is the ugly flange that runs along the bottom edge of the fuel tanks.
I just hate the square screen in a circle gauge
I try to pretend that i can't see the square... it is a absolutely wacky choice
Can you post a link to the exhaust please
Idk if they even make it anymore. It's a Bassani Road Rage 2-Into-1 Exhaust
I would love to have a bike like this. Unfortunately I am living in Sweden. I need to save ALL of my salary / pension for 1,5 year to afford it. And I do need to pay for rent, food, tax etc. So here in this country you need appr 2,5 to 4 years of hard savings to get all the money it takes to buy such an MC.
An average person (not a rich person) will have appr 7 000 to 9 000 dollars per year in salary. Then the tax is deducted. Salary / pension after tax is appr 3 000 to 3 800 dollars per year.
Rent is appr the same as in USA. Healthcare is of cause free, but food is more than double as much as you pay in USA.
Love the bike,hate the performance
