2022 YAMAHA reviews

Excellent machine that is a swiss army knife of retro bikes. Fast, handles well and with only a few modifications (seat, saddlebags and small windscreen) can be turned into a sport touring bike. Switchable modes allow new riders or cautious riders to limit powerband while learning this machine. ABS and Traction control are stellar and rarely noticeable. The cherry on the cake is cruise control, useful if you're stuck on highway for a few hours. Go buy one, you won't regret it. Show less

Rides like a dream. Rides like a new bike with the retro look and feel. After upgrading the air intake and exhaust the 700cc motor really opened up. The top end is a real treat. Thank you for listening Yamaha. Show less

I really like my bike I had several different Yamaha dual Sports and this one I like a couple things I don't like is one they took away all kick starts that's idiotic for any kind of bike that's on the dirt you never know when that battery is going to go dead and two I don't think I have too much torque as I'd like 240 but still at 250 should be able to at least pop up on command. All else is pretty good I like it quite bike nice bike Show less

I like my 2022 Bolt r spec. Great bang for the buck bike. Perfect for my rides up and down the coast around Pt. Mugu and around the canyons close to Malibu. Yes there are better bikes but they will cost you more $$$$! More When I can dump $30k on a Harley then I’ll go for it… until then my bolt will suffice! For $8k Show less

First bike I bought. It has power and handles good..First gear is too low, while speeding shifting it goes into neutral a lot, shocks could be a little more stiffer, the paint on the frame gets rubbed off from books. That is the biggest issue. Would be nice to have a kick starter for back up starting, once you uncork it, it really has get up and go power. Show less

I've owned quite a few motorcycles and this one is an amazing machine! Some of the best features are the massive torque, ability to tune the injection and timing via the wifi app and store 2 profiles in the ecu then swap via a button on the handlebar. My goal was to have a street legal dirt bike in Ohio and I was able to accomplish this with the 2022 YZ450FX with a few simple additions. The bike is not quiet at all it sounds like an indy car when you wind it out it's addictive! The throttle is so sensitive that one lurch trying to adjust your glove could put you right at 12 o clock or looped depending on your skill level. If you don't consider yourself an expert rider you need to avoid riding this bike. Don't test ride one or you will have to own it!!! If you want to see my bike search on the you tube and find me!
