Yamaha BOLT R Special keeps an estimated 76% of its value after 5 years — #164 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha BOLT R Special retains an estimated 76% of its value after five years, ranking #164 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 4 points above the 72% five-year average for ATV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha BOLT R Special sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,999 it falls to around $6,866 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,133, about $1.17 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Yamaha BOLT R Special bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
