This is the 2017 bobber I had when we lived in Switzerland. And my wife’s 50th anniversary Vespa.
When we bought these nobody told me I couldn’t bring them home to Canada. So when we came home we had to sell them both. I miss that bike every day. But recently got a new-to-me 2018 that I will mod until it looks just like that one.
A bobber is an older term for bikes that have been stripped of all things which are not mechanically necessary.
Kind of like a chopper but without the flamboyance.
I have two bobbers. One is a 1973 triumph Daytona 500 that was customized into a bobber over the years. And the other is a 2018 triumph that actually came out of the factory ‘bobbed’.
Most owners of the factory bobbers do a lot of modification to personalize them. Things like taller bars, shorter, mufflers, smaller or completely non-existent, fenders, etc…
I don’t blame you for wanting a bike when you look at the bobber. I pinched every penny I could to make sure I could pick another one up when I lost the first one. Every single time I open the garage door the first thought that goes through my head is ‘holy hell. Is that a lovely motorcycle’
