The Bolt and the Guzzi V7 were on my short list when shopping for my CB..I finally sat on a Bolt, very nice...Maybe my wife will sell her 800lb HD for a Bolt..Good choice!!!!

She's in love with it, she sold her RaodStar to get it to lighten the load a bit, she's only 5' 1" and this fits her like a glove

They do go very nicely together, but you need a bigger garage. Smile

A friend of mine texted me tonight. He was at a Honda Yamaha dealer in N/E Ohio today. They have their original CB 1100 on the floor, but have sold 11 Bolts.

Not too surprising as the cruise image is still going strong. But they don't handle nearly as well as the CB1100 (or any non-cruiser for that matter) and they're small.

I have issues with small bikes. Angry 36" inseam, just under 6' tall (used to be taller), long arms. I need a larger machine so I don't have to fold up like a grasshopper. I fit a 650L pretty good!

Don't know where all these short people are coming from and buying up all these bikes. I thought we were getting taller?

I like the looks of the BOLT and almost went that route but it just felt small when I sat on it... My feet on the pegs I was pushing back into the seat and was not comfortable. But I do like the look...

Anyhow, I got an 1100, what am I thinking about...

Love that Bolt too. Worried about that engine placement next to my legs but it sure is a pretty bike. I wouldn't mind having one in the garage either.
