Yamaha<\/a>\u2019s most successful cruisers <\/span>of late have been the Bolts \u00a0Bolts <\/span>,and Yamaha is bringing about further distinctions between the <\/span>Bolt<\/a><\/b> and <\/span>Bolt R-spec<\/b>. The R ($8,399) will maintain its current \u201csport\u201d positioning, while the regular version ($7,999) <\/span>will get reinforcements to its \u201ctimeless character,\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

which for 2017 means new wire-spoke wheels. Both Bolts get a nice upgrade with a new flangeless fuel tank (no ugly seams!) that holds an extra 1.2 liters. Also new for the 2017 Bolts, available in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the Bolts belong in Yamaha\u2019s cruiser stable, the same platform in the SCR is slotted into Yamaha\u2019s new Sport Heritage line. Yep, the SCR950 is essentially a Bolt dressed in scrambler clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve got the <\/span>now-familiar<\/span> 60-degree air-cooled<\/span> V-Twin <\/span>displacing 942cc, with its <\/span>four valves per cylinder helping churn out \u00a0<\/span>about 49 horses to the rear wheel. Also familiar are the <\/span>instrumentation<\/span>, frame and suspension.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Any resemblance to a Yamaha\u00a0<\/span>XT500<\/a><\/span> is purely intentional <\/span>. The SCR950 boasts the same 3.2-gallon seamless fuel tank as the other 2017 Bolts. The fork might look too raked out for a proper scrambler, but Yamaha test riders claim the SCR is surprisingly light on its feet, even compared to Triumph<\/a>\u2019s Scrambler.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aluminum bash plate pictured here is an optional accessory, of which there are <\/span>about 30<\/span>\u00a0 available for the SCR.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An important piece to turn a Bolt into a scrambler is the new <\/span>subframe <\/span>that allows a flat seating area for a variety of seating positions for riders of different sizes or for when clambering about while navigating off-road terrain. A tall and wide steel handlebar with <\/span>crossbar <\/span>can accommodate a standing position while riding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The SCR\u2019s saddle sits at 32.7 inches, which allows far more <\/span>legroom <\/span>\u00a0than other Bolts, including the C-spec, from which the SCR get its footrests. There is a small storage area behind the <\/span>faux number plate<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The suspension is from the Bolt R-spec, including its fork with 4.7 inches of travel but with new tuning for this application and <\/span>derigueur rubber gaiters <\/span>. Belt drive, <\/span>a low muffler <\/span>and <\/span>remote-reservoir shocks with 2.8 inches of stroke snicker at any Baja intentions<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Completing the transformation to scrambler is a pair of aluminum-rimmed wire-spoke wheels with large-block off-road tires, a 100\/90-19 up front and a 140\/80-17 rear. It adds up to a 547-lb <\/span>curb weight package<\/span> available in Rapid Red or Charcoal Silver this July. Price negotiations start at $8,699.<\/span><\/p>\n
