Today's video, is about a very interesting Yamaha, which was developed to be an excellent platform for customization.
It is known by several different names like: Yamaha Bolt, Yamaha Star Bolt, Yamaha XV 950 Bolt, or Yamaha SCR950(Scrambler).
This video, explains how far you can go, to customize all these Yamaha models, showing one of the best Cafe Racers transformations I've seen, with the Yamaha bolt, and built under the Yamaha Yard Build program.
The custom Yamaha Bolt Cafe Racer presented on this video, was built in Germany, by WalzWerk Motorcycles.
Marcus Walz is the founder of the company, and it is also the maestro behind the team who make people's dreams become a reality.
I am sure you will like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.

This is great insight for anyone wanting to purchase or already owns a Yamaha Bolt and wanting to convert it into a Cafe Racer. Yamaha has essentially eliminated all the cutting and welding of the rear section by simply allowing anyone to purchase item #25 in the parts diagram shown (7:27) and BOLTING it on. All hail Yamaha for simplicity. Only Racer TV could bring back an 8 year old Cafe Racer from the past and showcase its beauty in today's eyes. Bravo! For reminding us that WalzWerk great design has stood the test of time.

We have seen cafe racers with many engine configurations, some of them excellent and some not so much, all depends on the skills of the builder to modify the frame and keep the lines under proportion. On this particular case I personally like the proportions and general lines of a proper cafe racer, "but"😂, do not stand out or difiere much of some Viragos that I have seen on this channel. Thank you for bringing up this video, as a discussion topic is very interesting!! Great work Victor!!, keep it up!!👍🏻

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. My choice of this project for a video, is mainly to demonstrate the best solution, to achieve a good cafe racer stance, using a "difficult" cruiser like the Bolt model. Thank you Carlos :) Cheers.

I own a cafe racer converted Yamaha bolt c-spec. It's such a fun bike to ride, I have a blast everytime I get on it. However, it's uncomfortable as sin and it hurts to do more than 30 minutes straight. It tops out at 120mph despite having a full two brother's system, power commander, flashed ecu, and k&n intake. I'm a daily commuter so unfortunately, the discomfort isn't worth the miniscule performance benefits.

Yes its a yamaha trying to be a Dyna or an FX Harley . Lol ....seriously i would not mind having one ..in street tracker style . As a matter of fact at a local multi dealer called Thompson's Motorsports . Built a street tracker that must of been from this model of yamaha V-Twin. Painted Yamaha blue with the traditional broken block stripe on each side of the tank . They sold it for $15,000 ...it looked factory

I loved so much this cafe racer, for years. Despite the oddity that is the Bolt Racer, I liked this motorcycle too. But, the SCR was a nonsense: too high, the exhaust was too low, general lines was weird. It was widely criticized when it was released

I don't know, for me a "V" engine is not something that is part of a Cafe Racer, especially the one of the Yamaha Bolt that is almost identical in its appearance to that of a Harley Davison or so it seems to me. It was a motorcycle that resembled everything without resembling anything. Ugly as a sin. But beyond the engine, which is certainly splendid, the bike looks totally magnificent in this revival and the classic Yamaha stripes are a hit, an ugly duckling reborn as an eagle. Now the bike seems to say "I am music." And indeed music is. In that the engine is a total and perfect instrument.

Probably all those Care Racer bikes presented on this channel have two things in common. 1. They are the most unergonomic and impractical bikes ever created. 2. They look good until someone sits on them and rides them, then they usually look plain stupid. Original Cafe Racers were just stripped down and modified bikes for practical reason: to make them faster. Today it is just about the looks. Poser machines for egomaniacs is all they are.

Hi. Not exacly. This Channel began only in 2013. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think. I use this "robotic" voice created by software, because I'm Portuguese, and my bad English accent (and voice), can ruin the documentary character that I like for my videos. I already tried a real British voice in one of my videos, and, surprisingly, almost everyone hated it. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds really very real and professional, for most non-English Speakers.:) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV I figured that from your description thanking a friend for translation help. I have helped some other channels with this and they had a similar response. There’s always going to be an outspoken response to any change, and it will usually be negative, but you can’t give up right away due to that. They won’t stop watching, whereas many people do stop watching when they hear the computerized voice because it’s associated with very low quality videos, and your videos are way too good to have anyone thinking they’re not quality. So yea I’d say the positive outweighs the negative drastically. Just look at how many views you get, so if a couple hundred people react negatively in the comments to the switch away from the robin voice that’s still not even a remotely significant % of your views/viewers. Anyway if you ever want to give it a try let me know. I’m also happy to help with the English part, as a native speaker and grammar nerd. Don’t get me wrong, Your English is already pretty damn good though…I only caught one wrong phrase in this video.
