Good looking bike, with the usual outstanding Yamaha quality.
A V twin is hardly a unique concept for a motorcycle, and doesnt make any/all that use it a clone to HD.
Its kind of funny to see the cry of wanting HD "left alone", as that head in the sand thought process has allowed HD to live in its old ways. The best thing for HD is competition, to make the best product that they can. They have a great sense of personality/identity in their bikes, great finishes, and a wealth accessories to add to them, even quite versatile and inventive in what they come up with. Yet there are many out there who desire superior performance, be it handling and power, or a different look. The Bolt just adds to the mix of choices out there, and with the reserve shocks, nice brakes, and the brass accents available, they add some nice touches.
