Just got an email from Yamaha today about it...
Sounds great! I was taking unawares as well about it till Dr_Bar notified me about it this morning and I put it up on our 2013 Yamaha Pages: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcyc ... vidson.htm both the Bolt and the Bolt Spec-R.

Which one would you like to see on the Cool Wall next week?

Not much difference between them other than shocks & colours, so either is good...just thought it was a nicely sized bike, at 950cc, that will compare well to the Harley 883 Iron, but probably a little roomier. I found the Iron a little tight and I'm not that tall..5'11. Prices are close too.

Later.

How about the Honda 500 triplets? CB500F, CB500X & CBR500R...new twist on the old Kawi Ninja 500R & Suzuki GS500 line...should be great new entry/commuter bikes.

Later.

I'm ALWAYS in favor of showing off another sexy and very naughty Guzzi. :D

Sure thing, we can have that one next.

Sure thing! I was getting ready to say "We done that one" but you know what? We haven't! So, let's make this our next Cool Wall bike then as per your suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion!

How about something that has flown under the radar...and one I'm looking at right now.

the Yamaha Road Star Venture...fully dressed classic tourer with a modern V4 (albiet carb'd) detuned from the VMax?

Later.

I like the Thruxton, something different from all the other cookie cutter models out there.
