That's my boy! I remember riding that Honda after school in 2001

I have the same chassic, i put an amazon special brushless system in it. Did great untill the rear locked up. At first I thought I just broke the rear drive shaft. Good vidoes. Love the music.

What speedometer did you get?

Yamaha my favorite metric , fun fact , they came very close to sounding like a Harley , so much so , that I’m pretty sure the court system got involved

Dude, congratulations on 8 years off opiates. I've been battling myself, and I just got on suboxone yesterday. I love my Bolt.

I've had my 2002 YAMAHA ROAD WARRIOR for 12 years now. ---- For the past 3 YEARS I've been in the WORST POSITION ever in my life. ---- No job Living off of SSI = $800.00 a month Motorcycle not running STILL ATTEMPTING to put it back together and fire it up. ---- After 3 years I finally got my license back to ✂️ hair in a BARBER 💈 SHOP Making money 💵 again (5th week on the job) Boss rides a HARLEY and the Barbershop 💈 is decorated like a BIKER bar 🍺🍻 inside. ---- Been looking for a Harley Softail - ROAD KING 👑 - ETC.... etc ---- WHY?????? Go smaller than my 1700 ROAD WARRIOR?????? ----- WHY BUY ???? WHEN I have a motorcycle 🏍️ already ⁉️⁉️ ---- BECAUSE ITS BECOMING SUCH STRESS - TRYING to get it back together and it SHOULDN'T BE SO FRIGGIN HARD 😡 ----- LAST NIGHT I took a ride on a 2014 YAMAHA BOLT ⚡ - ONLY 1,000 miles on it - $4,800.00 - garage kept and fell in love with it. And that was on a soft swag dirt road. ----- Then I realized I wanted something more nimble , lighter weight than that BEAST of the 1700 ROAD WARRIOR. ---- = A 2014 YAMAHA BOLT ⚡ AND I REALIZED I JUST NEED TO GET BACK RIDING - FOR THE THERAPY!!!!! ----- SO today I am intending to get to the bank and buy this BOLT ⚡ my friends wife bought brand new and she doesn't ride it because she feels better sitting behind her husband on his ROAD KING 👑 ----- THERAPY = THE MOST IMPORTANT THING about owning / riding a motorcycle 🏍️ ---- NOT 🚫 what we can find to bitch about it - like a key 🗝️ latch instead of a 10mm socket to remove the seat. ---- Like HOW OFTEN do we need to remove the seat?????? ----

All dads do..that's our job lol😅

😂😂 great sense of humor(4:25). Thanks for the video. I like to watch and hear the Yamaha bolt. Greetings

bit of a late comment, love the video and i've been thinking of getting a bolt myself. Was wondering how they hold up on highways? I do the occasional highway trip an hour north to see my mates, but it scares the shit out of me with my little 250 getting blown around

Granted....I've only owned my Bolt for 3 months. It's a '23 I bought mid October....Brand new. I did my research. I come from a crotch rockets background where it was all about the speed. I live in Southwest Florida and I 75 is Florida's answer to the autobahn. I got a really good job with the county and I would be on 75 and look down and I was doing 130mph and the bike felt great. BUT....at some point I decided my job was more important. Sold that and found the Bolt. It has literally changed the way I see and think about riding. To this point I have yet to experience any death wobble. And this is Hands down the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. I've had a couple 150- 200 mile a day rides and when I step off my body doesn't hurt (I'm 62 yrs young). Do I miss 6th gear....hell yes. But when I'm doing 80 and need to roll on it to make a pass there is absolutely no lag. The power I need is there. I do wish I could find some non vibrating mirrors but that's all part of the experience. It's naked and simple and I dig it. I would like to look into a Honda Fury but if anything happens to my Bolt I'll be heading to my nearest Yammie dealership for another Bolt.....and btw....Screw Harley and their overpriced junk.

Harley has gotten rid of their entry level sportster 883 the venerable that we love. Now Harley has gotten even worse and they only want to sell only high-end models. No Sportsters for Harley chicks. HUGE MISTAKE- I’m done with Harley. Metric or Indian for this former motocross dude.

Great video

Kawasaki Vulcan s might be a good starter bike. It's basically a ninja 650.

What make are those saddlebags and size please. Thank you Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Brotha any more videos on the bolt!? Where u been!?

Nice to see a biker so passionate and down to earth. The father in you. The biker that wants to experience the air, the temperature changes, smells and all. The human aspect of it all. Great video. Keep riding - stay safe.

wonder if your front caliper is sticking causing it to wobble just a thought

definitely getting one next spring this or a rebel need to see what available and how they feel

I have Never seen a Bolt on the Road...or anywhere. But yet I am looking to buy a 2023 ?

i would suggest a Honda rebel 500 to your son, its a rly good beginner bike. and its a chopper

You dodged a bullet by not buying a VTX 1300. I bought one and I'm unhappy with it. I hope you are still have fun on your bolt.

1st gen ninja 250 or 500 are really good. He will have a blast on either. Gen 2 and 3 ninja 250 is a bit slower but looks more your modern day sports bikes but the maintenance is a touch more difficult.

How are you liking the new guage? Was it hard trying to get the speed dialed in, or was it pretty straightforward?

Your son is probably better off on a bolt than a crotch rocket

Engine sounds fantastic

I have the same Koso tntb gauge. Have you noticed it triggers the oil level light under full throttle in 1st and 2nd?

Sounds like an Indian Scout would be a good fit for you.

That bike sounds good 🔥

engine on those are really really nice...bonus:it run forever

Did you replace the gage?

What's that little square screen?

Im a big boy and love my bolt. Done some mods like a saddlemen seat, forward controls and mini apes. Done some 400-500 mile trips no problems.

Do you have part number for the Cobra Highway bars and will they fit on my 950

Dude i love it! Imma get a bolt and I live in knoxville and still have not hit the dragon.

I just got one of these for my 2015 bolt and Still trying to figure out the set up because They said it was Plug and play so we will see I guess Good video have a great day and thanks for the Humor . K S Allison USMC DAV/PRM

Do you ride the bike before the gear indicator works?

I like how the passenger just did not bail off, and actually helped get the bike vertical again while still on the bike. The "Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C minor" was a wonderful touch to the sped up video. This was an entertaining video which was a pleasure to watch. Take care, ride safe.

Como puedo conseguir esta camioneta

I'm like you bro I love Harleys and have had a few older ones buy they are super unreliable. I always like Hondas also but this has sold me on getting a bolt.

Great video mate

lmao you almost killed yourself with that fart

Really cool video man. Dig it. I still haven't been here, one of these days I might. Much respect keep it 💯

Hello! I just installed the Koso unit. When you turn on the key but the engine still doesn't start, why is the oil lamp asleep ??? After an oil change, every older motorcycle has signaled for a little longer ... the xv950 goes to sleep immediately. I have an xsr engine still lit here. If you run out of oil..are kosos be sure to alert me?

My home isn’t to far from the tail . Great place to ride 💯

You have such a great neighborhood. Away from the noisy city.

Hell yea brother!!! Thanks for the video and love for us and rambo!! We love for u and anyone else thats a quality person to join our brother/sisterhood!!

날좋은날 신나게 달렸구나 형제😄👊🏻

Hey brother this is bowser we should definitely ride sometime

I have a couple questions about the kosos meter i just installed them on my bike and my wifes

about to get my bolt tomorrow for my first bike, just for trips to work and weekends cruises. But your imput helps even though im not a bigger guy im taller and you saying it's comfortable is enough for me
