Hageman’s build was one of ten Bolts customized in 2013 when Yamaha donated the then newly minted cruiser to builders across the country to imagine up some new creations. Derek Brooks, from Yamaha’s product planning division, spoke very openly about Hageman’s bike when I asked.
According to Brooks, the Bolt line was always intended to be a platform bike with multiple offshoots. Hot on the tail of the success of the original Bolt, Yamaha released the café-inspired C-Spec, followed by the current scrambled SCR950. He agreed that the SCR shares an uncanny resemblance to Hageman’s machine, but insists plans for a factory scrambler from Yamaha were already underway.
