VOL. 51 ISSUE 42 OCTOBER 21, 2014 P39 S tar Motorcycles intro- duce its newest ad- dition to its popular performance bobber line—a sportier café-styled Bolt C-Spec. Powered by the same 945cc V-Twin powerplant as its Bolt counterparts, the C-Spec stands apart in styl- ing with a new seat design and removable seat cowl to give it a more café racer look. But the C-Spec is not just different in styling. In the handling department, it touts a 9mm longer fork and 2015 Star Bolt C-Spec a 6mm longer shock that increases ground clearance by a full 1.5 inches. That extra clearance translates into four degrees more lean angle for better canyon- carving prowess. The C-Spec also has a more aggressive and sportier riding position, which was achieved by moving the footpegs up and back. And for those moments when you want to tuck in at speed, Yamaha has moved the instrument cluster up for higher visibility. The Yamaha Bolt Spec- C arrives in dealerships in January for a base price of $8,690 and comes in two color options—Liquid Silver and Envy Green.
