A 'functional' bobber is an interesting concept.

One seat, no luggage and v loud.

Needs more yellow. Quite nicely done though.

[Noggin]

I like that. I'd need a bike with a pillion seat, but for an anti-social bike that's cool

I was told recently that the 'Bobber' is Triumph's biggest selling bike.
My mate's son bought one last year,he enjoys it,it's a bit of a change from his KTM Enduro bike,

[Skub]

Pretty cool for tooshing about on. I like the little tailpiece behind the seat,very well done. Black straight through pipes will be hard to keep looking good and the noise would wear me down eventually.

I haven't needed a bike with pillion provision in 30 odd years,so that part suits me well enough.

[MrLongbeard]

Tidy enough, but baby shit yellow I'll pass on.

[Mr. Dazzle]

If it weren't for the pod filters I could well believe this is just a stock model.

I saw a couple of these on the DGR recently. I quite like the "not actually a hardtail" thing they've got.

[ChrisW]

That's really quite nice despite not really being my thing. The paint quality on the tank is incredible!

Shame to stick a number plate on it though.

[Taipan]

Not sure why, but its not doing it for me?

[Mr. Dazzle]

I think matte black is a stock colour for them, I've seen a couple like that.

Someone at the DGR had a matte black one and a full replica WW2 US Army uniform

Shame to stick a number plate on it though.

Yeah, I absolutely detest side mounted number plates, just cannot unsee them once spotted
