Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Yamaha's Virago was the first Japanese V-twin cruiser. The Bolt carries that heritage well, with more power and less weight than similar American-made models, but does suffer from lack of suspension travel at the rear. Its eye-catching styling and low price has gotten the attention of more than a few reputable bike builders. Even if you're not a pro customizer, the Bolt is a great platform from which to build on.
