Overview
The Yamaha Bolt R-Spec is a cruiser in the Bolt family, produced from 2017 through 2026. For 2026, its air-cooled 942 cm³ V-Twin makes 54 hp (40 kW) and 80.4 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 245.9 kg.
The 690 mm seat height makes stops and mounting easier, while the 245.9 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage at walking speed. Torque peaks at 3,000 rpm, giving the engine its strongest pull at relatively low revs. Fuel consumption is 4.60 liters per 100 km, and a full 13-liter tank provides a calculated range of about 283 km; the belt final drive needs no chain cleaning or adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 690 mm seat height makes it easier to get on and put a foot down at stops.
Low-rev torque
Peak torque arrives at 3,000 rpm, so the engine delivers its strongest pull without needing high revs.
Belt final drive
The belt drive avoids the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Things to consider
Weight at walking speed
At 245.9 kg wet, the Bolt can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces or when parking.
Limited rear travel
The rear suspension has 70 mm of travel, leaving less room to absorb large bumps.
