Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its modest displacement, low-end torque delivery, and approachable handling.
Purpose	Built primarily for relaxed cruising and stylish urban riding rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and manageable weight make it accessible for shorter riders, though the wide bars and cruiser stance suit a relaxed, upright posture.
Character	A classic bobber-styled cruiser with a punchy air-cooled V-twin, offering easy low-speed torque and a laid-back attitude over performance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring capability, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road versatility.

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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).
