Street 750 vs Yamaha Star Bolt...

I think the Bolt was aimed directly at the Sportster, I mean look at it, it is a copy, and a poor one at that.
I respect all bikes, regardless of manufacturers, so I am not dissing Yamaha as a hater. There are three things on the Bolt that totally turn me off on it:
1-Digital instrumentation. Yamaha copied the classic, traditional lines of the Sportster, and put a totally out of place digital display on it instead of the traditional style speedometer.
2-The front frame down tubes are bent outward to miss the front exhaust pipe. Looks like a total afterthought, and that the frame and engine were not designed to go together.
3-Those god-awful gas tank flanges found on most metric bikes look so cheezy and cheap.

On a side note, I was looking at the used inventory at my local HD stealer a while back. There were some Hondas, Yamahas, and Victories sitting there. The one thing that really came to my attention was the paint quality. The Harleys were smooth as glass but all the other brands were orange peely and slightly duller looking.

Back to the original post, I would choose the Street over the Bolt even if it were more money. Much better looking bike.
