1977 Yamaha XS650 Motorcycle Hardtail Bobber

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Matt Storms

This is a 1977 Yamaha XS650 Motorcycle Hardtail Bobber with springer front end. I dig the thin white-wall tires. The black ridged frame really makes this bobber look cool I think. I know some will say the red paint job with the number “3” on it looks cool and I respect that but the frame is the bones of the bobber. I think that wrapped pipes have something special to them, I always dig wrapped pipes on a bobber. The rear fender with the black and red paint job is pretty freaking sweet I have to say. Overall I dig this … Continue reading →

This Yamaha bobber motorcycle was made by Dash Customs in Japan. The bobber craze is really strong in Japan. When I lived there from 2000-2003 I saw bobbers almost daily.

Yamaha XJ Bobber Hardtail Motorcycle – ‘1981 XJ650

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Matt Storms

This bobber was submitted a few days ago. When you look at the this bobber you have to say “WOW”. You have to think that you would ride this around town, maybe as a commuter motorcycle? Don’t get me wrong this bobber has some great loos but is missing some serious safety items. I would like to see a mirror, and some turn signal lights. I do like the flat black, I think it brings back the old spray paint look that I drool over. The solo seat in the brown leather has a nice touch for contrast. I would … Continue reading →
