2024 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec For Sale in Amsterdam, NY

The 2024 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec is the definitive “Urban Performance Bobber,” designed for riders who prioritize raw soul over unnecessary chrome. This isn’t just a cruiser; it’s a stripped-down, blacked-out machine built to dominate the streets of the Mohawk Valley. Whether you are navigating the historic corridors of Schenectady, cruising the scenic routes out toward Gloversville, or heading north for a weekend ride through Broadalbin, the Bolt R-Spec provides the perfect balance of old-school style and modern reliability. Its compact chassis and low center of gravity make it incredibly nimble for city riding, while the high-torque V-twin engine ensures you have plenty of power to pull away from the lights. For riders in Saratoga Springs or Johnstown looking for a bike that feels as good as it looks, the Bolt R-Spec offers a “blank canvas” for customization that big-box competitors simply can’t match.

Engine: 58-cubic-inch (942cc) air-cooled SOHC 60° V-twin; 4 valves per cylinder.

Fuel System: Sophisticated twin-bore fuel injection with 3D maps for precise ignition timing.

Transmission: 5-speed multiplate wet clutch with a low-maintenance carbon-fiber-core belt final drive.

Suspension: 41mm telescopic front fork (4.7″ travel) and dual premium gas-charged piggyback rear shocks (2.8″ travel).

Brakes: Large 298mm front and rear wave-style rotors for superior heat dissipation and stopping power.

Seat Height: Ultra-low 27.2 inches, allowing most riders to easily plant both feet firmly at stops.

Fuel Economy: An impressive estimated 51 MPG, paired with a 3.4-gallon teardrop fuel tank.

Staff Expert Tip: “The Bolt R-Spec is a ‘torque monster’ in the mid-range. If you’re looking to upgrade, start with a high-flow intake; this engine loves to breathe, and it transforms the throttle response for those hilly backroads in Fulton County.”

What is the difference between the Bolt and the Bolt R-Spec? The R-Spec (Road Spec) upgrades the standard cruising experience with premium twin piggyback shocks featuring remote reservoirs for better damping, as well as distinct 12-spoke cast alloy wheels and specialized “buckskin” textured seat stitching for a custom look right off the showroom floor.

How does the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec handle for new riders? It is one of the most beginner-friendly middleweight cruisers available. The combination of a very low 27.2-inch seat height, a slim fuel tank, and a wet weight of 542 lbs provides a stable, confidence-inspiring feel that makes low-speed maneuvers in traffic much easier to manage.
