Posted on April 15, 2012 by Matt Storms

With the weather warming up across much of the country, it’s time to start thinking about getting the bobber motorcycle back on the road.

While this may be a rider’s dream, it can actually be a nightmare for the body. This is particularly true for individuals who plan on spending the better part of the spring and summer months on their motorcycle. Numerous studies have … Continue reading →

The concept of this custom Harley is to be and to embody what a true modern bobber is. Everyone may have their opinion of what that is, but this bike was built to speak for itself.

1973 Honda CB500 Bobber Motorcycle

It was deemed a better handling bike than the larger model, although it was still no featherweight at 440 lb dry. This is a really sweet Honda bobber motorcycle below. I think that the paint is exquisite. As we look this bobber over from the front to the … Continue reading →
