Riding a Bobber 125

If you have an A1 license and you want a 125 bobber , several solutions are available to you.

You can orient yourself on the new models offered by the manufacturers, buy a bobber prepared by a professional or an individual, build your own bobber or opt for a bobber kit.

The new bobbers and customs offered by the manufacturers.

Riding on the wave of success of the bobber style of recent years, several manufacturers offer their bobber models in the catalog or have brought their custom models out of the closet to update them.

On the higher displacements, we think of the Triumph Bobber, Harley Street Bob and Fat Bob, the new Honda Rebel 1100, the Indian Scout Bobber, the BMW R18, Yamaha XV950R, Guzzi V9 bobber etc... The choice is wide and the battle is fierce.

Some models just have the designation bobber more for marketing than for the original philosophy, because they look more like customs / cruisers than bobbers.

For lower displacements, the choice is more limited . We will see the models available.

Given that the border between a custom and a bobber is increasingly thin, we have chosen to tell you about 3 new custom models that can meet your expectations or be transformed into a bobber by changing which accessories.
