Rider Profile

Best For	Well-suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its low seat height, light-ish weight, and mellow V-twin power delivery.
Purpose	Designed as an accessible, stylish urban cruiser for short rides, commuting, and weekend cruising rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low 691mm seat height and manageable curb weight make it easy for shorter riders and those wanting a low, confident stance to handle.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven air-cooled V-twin with classic cruiser looks, offering relaxed, unhurried riding rather than adrenaline.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 691mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Bolt, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
