Posted August 4, 201410 yr There's a new baby in my family. Not sure what I was thinking buying a brand new bike, but hey, at least the previous owner hasn't messed it up! I didn't think I wanted a bobber, but she's a dream to ride and I had to have her.
August 4, 201410 yr I don't have a clue what it is bit it looks good. V engine too. Clues: 1/. This is the Yamaha Owners Forum. 2/. This has been posted with not a *shred* of shame. 3/. It says Star on the airbox. 4/. It says Bolt on the tank. 5/. Sash says it's a brand new bike. Deductions: 1 - It might well be a Yamaha. 2 - It is almost CERTAINLY a Yamaha!! 3 - It is one of the Star range of Cruisers. 4 - It's probably a Yamaha Bolt (XVS950). 5 - It's a brand new Yamaha Bolt. Fucking wicked bike Sash!!! I wouldn't mind a go myself!!
August 4, 201410 yr Moderator To be fair I did look at the picture in sunlight on my iPhone, no luxury of a big PC screen when I am at work.
August 4, 201410 yr Moderator As as for the first clue ttaskie, it might be a yami forum but some of us have other bikes too. Sod it I might go out now and buy a Honda!!
August 4, 201410 yr That is a beautiful machine Sacha really must be pleased with your new baby, just gotta pay for it now!!! DT I had no idea what it was either just looked damned good tho. If you have to buy another one buy a Triumph now they are just as reliable as the Honda's and such. Plus Jimmy and Bippo will be pleased to have another big "T" on the site. PS to be fair to DT I had to go back and look a 2nd time and STAR is the same colour as the surround and BOLT is in fact LT at the end.
August 4, 201410 yr Author Hahaha! Guess I could've clued you in. Great eyes Ttaskmaster if you could make all that out from my shitty pic. Come on by anytime and take her for a spin. You're right on the money too. Its the Yamaha bolt.
August 4, 201410 yr To be fair I did look at the picture in sunlight on my iPhone, no luxury of a big PC screen when I am at work. I have an old 3.5" Android screen... You open the pic and reverse-pinch the image to enlarge it, then pan around. I knew exactly what it was anyway, but still had a nosey! As as for the first clue ttaskie, it might be a yami forum but some of us have other bikes too. Sod it I might go out now and buy a Honda!! Clue 1 merely raises suspicion. Clue 2 confirms it. The rest only feed further information. Read more Christie and get them 'leetle grey cells' working!!
August 4, 201410 yr Moderator Technology and use of grey cells. Those days are over now and I have turned into my old granddad Sacha - it looks fab on the big screen. I wouldn't mind one myself to be honest.
August 4, 201410 yr OLD your only a youngster DDT ,having said that I feel 90 after a 800 mile journey from hamburg got home last night and am still walking like John Wayne. Sacha. Nice bike enjoy and stay safe looks more comfortable than mine
August 4, 201410 yr Author Thanks gents! It's way more comfy than hubby's pillion seat! So thankful for that. Would eventually like to do something along Hageman's lines... Afraid I wouldn't be able to touch the ground though.
