Metric Bobber Motorcycle Kits

Posted on July 3, 2011 by

So I was thinking that an easy way for me to get a bobber motorcycle would be to convert a metric motorcycle to a metric bobber motorcycle. I talked about the Kawasaki Vulcan 800 a bit ago and I started looking at Yamaha motorcycles, Kawasaki motorcycles, and Honda motorcycles to decide what I could easily configure into a good bobber on my budget. I think that for about $6,000 I can build out an amazing Bobber Motorcycle. I did look again at Blue Collar Bobbers and they have some great kits for the Suzuki Savage S40, Kawasaki Vulcan 800, Honda Rebel … Continue reading →

Took a test ride on the BMW S1000RR and review

So today I decided to ride my current motorcycle – 2007 V-Star 1300 over to the Sandy, UT BMW Motorcycle Dealership.

Military Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on June 16, 2011 by

So today I was looking at what I want for my dream Bobber motorcycle and I happened to jump on a search for military motorcycles. I saw this amazing military bobber motorcycle and it made me think since I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy that I should go with a military bobber motorcycle. I could give the bobber the 1940’s look to it with rivets and do some cool rope work on it like sailors used to do. Let me now what you would do, would you go with a Naval themed bobber motorcycle or something else? Matt Storms
