Coffee shop cool for C-Spec Bolt
The release of the original Bolt and Bolt R-Spec attracted a new
breed of riders keen to ride an authentically styled modern day
performance bobber.
That style has now taken a hipster turn with the new Bolt
C-Spec.
Epitomising the cool café style that has been popular
across the globe since the 1960s, the Bolt C-Spec features retro
styling with original Star V-twin performance. Riders will be
transported to the roots of motorcycling as they re-discover the
joy of riding a unique looking custom bike with the pulse and
feeling that only an air-cooled V-twin can provide.
Unique C-Spec Bolt features include clip-on handlebars,
traditional fork gaiters, a removable passenger seat cowl and sport
café paint and graphics to tie it all together. In
addition the footpegs have been moved rearwards to offer a more
aggressive riding position. Piggyback 'R-Spec' shocks are fitted as
standard.
Powered by a fuel-injected, 950cc, air-cooled, V-twin engine,
mounted in a double-cradle frame, the Bolt C-Spec uses modern
technology to create a riding experience superior to other
similarly sized machines. Fuel injection and ignition timing maps
have been set to deliver class-leading performance with strong low-
and mid-range torque that is sure to bring a smile to every rider's
face.
Stylish with a low seat height, the C-Spec Bolt delivers both a
refined and agile ride while retaining the timeless character and
soul that is a critical part of owning such an individual machine.
Yamaha's unique flat line style and use of exposed metal components
accentuates the bike's pure simplicity while the V-twin motor
provides both spirited performance and unquestioned reliability
Stripped back and stylish, this new Bolt variant provides a perfect
platform for personalisation.
The Bolt C-Spec is available in two colour options - Liquid
Silver and Envy Green and like all Star models comes with a factory
backed five year warranty. The new model retails for $12,699 RRP
inc GST.
