Got that part.

Maybe, should have said, “... a good deal for what someone would be getting”.

I really enjoy it a lot. It's low, light, and goes real well. Handles just fine, but scrapes a lot, but I like that!

Yes, after putting some seat time on the bolt, and experiencing the gearing difference that BubbaKahuna confirmed, I'm thinking a stripped down, bobbed out roadstar is the best of both worlds.
I've always liked the classic look of a stock roadie. Great lines, character, the whole nine yards but the bobbed look is growing on me.

If I could have a couple bikes, your Bolt would probably be there. That is a slick looking bike. I did see one of these the other day that really caught my eye too, though...

I agree, I like seeing what's in some dealerships. I like the brand new Triumph Bonneville and the Honda CB1000.

Re:Bought a Yamaha Bolt 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
When the Bolt first came out, I straddled one at my favorite dealership (before they moved and merged with a local Honda dealer) and thought to myself ..." I could really get myself into trouble with one of these things". Now, contemplating surgery at the first of next year (where I have to meet my deductible again), I'm just going to have to wait until my body and bank account recover.
