VOL. 50 ISSUE 17 APRIL 30, 2013 P51 BY PAUL CARRUTHERS PHOTOGRAPHY BY NELSON & RILES W hen is a Harley-Davidson Sportster, not a Sportster? When it's a Star Bolt. On two separate occasions during our oneday ride on the new Bolt at the San Diego, California, press introduction of the bobber, I was approached and asked if it was a Sportster. So if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then perhaps Harley should be flattered. And potential purchasers of bobber-type motorcycles should be much more than that. Chances are they will be stoked, pumped, psyched, amped and jazzed because the newest from Star is totally fapulous. Okay, putting my urban dictionary aside for a second and going back to the Queen's English, the Star Bolt is a hell of a lot of fun to ride. And it definitely looks the part. The brand-new 2013 Star Bolt is the brand's first venture into the bobber market.
