Yamaha have unveiled their new 2014 Bolt 950 which will be available in the US from April this year. The bike is obviously designed to compete directly against the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, and has the same engine and belt drive used on the current V-Star 950. Here's a look at the new Bolt 950:

I wonder what kind of power to weight this will have? looks nice and light for a 950cc bike.

Don't get excited. These won't be available in New Zealand. Well certainly not through Yamaha New Zealand's "distributor". I was going to add "network" after "distributor" but more than two outlets would be needed for that to be true.

Nice looking bike, I dig the minimal amount of fuss thing it has going on.
But holy hell is that exhaust system butt fucking ugly. Looks like they stole it from a ninja 250

Does look reasonably clean, other than the zorst, but anything obviously sheetmetal looks tacky.Nice looking bike, I dig the minimal amount of fuss thing it has going on.

Yeah ... it's not quite a straight Harley copy - it looks pretty much what I would do to a Harley Didntson sportster ... 'cept that giant can is just ugly ..

The metal is always nude.
I bet most of the new owners will change them for something more "authorative"...

trouble is the MT is expensive still even S/hand, and in very limited numbers. Performance is about the same as an XR, slightly quicker, but in reality they are 'equal' performers.... I've ridden with the XR's a few times now,,,, if this goes anything like an XR/ it deserves to be a good seller

Like the front wheel.
The front down tubes with that bend are just not working for me - ruins the lines of the bike IMO.

I wonder if they will get into Australia? That's where our nearest Yamaha dealer is located is't it
