Top 10 Bobber Motorcycles Showing a Modern Take on Classic Stripped-down Designs

Bobbers originated back in 1930s and their initial name was “bob-jobs’. It referred to the customization efforts which focused on the weight reduction of the bikes, by stripping down superfluous parts and shortening of the rear fender that resulted in the iconic bob tail look.

In this video we will take a look at the best production models that are currently on sale, and will show you their prices and technical parameters.
