When Less is SO Much More, The 2014 Yamaha Bolt

Ladies and Gentleman, less is not always more. Less toppings on your pizza, less money in your pocket, and less time to get things done, do not make it feel as if you seemingly have more of what you really want or need. Sometimes, less is just plain less. That is, of course, until we're talking about the 2014 Yamaha Bolt by Star Motorcycles, shown below:

No trinkets. No bling. No BS. The Bolt is a back to basics kind of urban cruiser, a masterpiece of exposed mechanical beauty that proudly shows off, not hiding, the components of what makes a motorcycle a motorcycle. Combining acceleration you can feel with a cool looking set of wheels is only half the reason why we love these things in the first place. The other half? It's a damn fun ride.

Here are just a few of the professionals who agree:

"Riding the Bolt is just plain fun. The engine delivers a satisfying, subtle V-twin pulse with a civilized but throaty exhaust note. ...Thick torque, flawless fueling, and smooth clutch engagement make the bike easy to launch while riding the streets..." -Motorcyclist Magazine.

And Motorcycle-USA.com had this to say:

"We rode [the Bolt] hard around the city and beyond because that's what it's made for, to blast around urban environments with power and authority. After our day aboard the 2014 Star Bolt, we're sold on its snappy power delivery, silky transmission, slick handling and ultra-light clutch action. It ain't too bad on the eyes, either, and delivers a lot of fun per-dollar spent."

And that total dollar amount? $7,990.00 at base, proving the Star Bolt is a ride that's authentic AND affordable.  

Welcome to the best motorcycle cruiser you haven't ridden yet, but can at Family PowerSports. Visit us for a test ride at 4160 Houston-Harte in San Angelo, Texas. Just don't be too surprised if, after riding a Bolt, you develop the sudden urge to begin wearing flannel shirts with jeans and a leather jacket, or quit your office job to find something new that involves welding steel or to work with a high-powered drill. You might even find yourself staring at the Bolt, thinking, "I could make it to Wyoming in one of these things..." What's in Wyoming and why on Earth you'd ever want to go are a complete mystery. But there'll be no question about this: you'll arrive in style and have a hell of a lot fun getting there on a Yamaha Bolt.

Hope to see you out there...
