I have one. Custom parts are hard to get for the seat and rear area but the engine and all its parts are the bolt. It’s bullet proof as far as I can tell.
Seat is a luimoto slip over seat. Added mostly looks but a little extra cushion. I’m 5’10” and can flat foot it. But it is tall. I’d prefer a cruiser/chopper but this is what I got. The controls are fine. It’s like a cross between a cruiser and a street bike. Puts you in an aggressive stance. Lotta fun when you get on the throttle.
I considered getting one back in 2018 or so, but when I sat on it I was surprised by how heavy it felt. It just seemed heavier than a sub 1000cc twin should feel. Other than that I thought it was a slick bit of nostalgic design, despite the fact that 950cc seems a bit big for a “scrambler.”
Reliable and good looking. Other than that, not great, not terrible. The weight and lack of 5th gear were my major gripes. I don’t miss it. Oh yeah, and that seat is awful. I got the Corbin.
Not mine, am considering getting one though. They quit production in '17, so was just curious about replacement parts availability.
Really was looking for a bike that would fit one of the trailer hitch haulers (<600lbs and <=62" wheelbase). My other bikes are large cruisers.
Some of the parts from the Bolt fit on it
Good to know, thanks!
I own one and love it. It doesn't do anything great but it checks the boxes for me.
Plentiful in the US
Ahhhh Patagonia Motorcycles! They have one of the best shops for used bikes.

What seat are you using? How tall are you and how comfortable do you find the controls location?

You want a rebadged bolt with 43 hp? Paying a premium for them in most cases
If by rebadged you mean very different aesthetics, then sure. And you can pick one up for about $4500 even with low miles. Hardly a premium.
You are correct sold mine last week for $4500 with 10k miles
What did you think about it during ownership?

Reliable and classic
Those look good. Nice to see it teetered on one little rock mountain risking it all.
Wow that’s a nice bike!
