You know the Yamaha Bolt?

It's a new fagcruiser style bike, sorta faux Harley type thing for hipsters.

Usually Harley type bikes don't do it for me but this modded one, hmmmm,

It's quite well done,

I think the spoked wheel one looks very like a flat-tracker replica - very nice indeed.
Shame they also copied the HD engine output figures as well, IIRC it has peak hp of only 45 or so with a top end of 100mph (160kph).
Too bad they didn't use something like the Rotax V-twin from the earlier Tuono or the KTM twin.

Yum. Looks suprisingly similar to my 74 DT400 :good:

I can just imagine going around a roundabout in wet weather with those tyres on it. Woo hoo :shok: been there, done that.
