Overview
The 2016 Yamaha Bolt V-STAR R CAFE is a cruiser in the Bolt family, produced for 2016. Its air-cooled, four-stroke 942 cm³ V-twin produces 60 Nm at 3,000 rpm, and the motorcycle weighs 247 kg.
Peak torque arrives at relatively low engine speed, giving the Bolt its strongest pull without needing high revs. The 691 mm seat keeps the rider low, while the 247 kg weight calls for steady balance at walking pace; belt final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust.
