My buddy Olly makes these bobber bikes. Total anti hipster fun bikes. I luv the humble look of these. It screams smoke a fatty trow on a half lid and cruise the hood with glasses so dark they don't even know your name.
that looks like an xs650 but the oil filter cover is different. but i think it is. that engine is coveted. the rest of the bike is cool too, but bobber guys i know whisper when they talk about that engine. love the empty battery box, wrapped pipes, goofy ass rims. the wheels reminds me of my old redline bmx bike from the 80's.
thanks ster, i havent thought about that bike in twenty years. it was mainly red with yellow rims. maybe it was a raleigh....
Ha! Been scouring ebay for old bikes for a while now in hopes of creating something similar, the price of old bikes has risen exponentially, probably cos everyone wants em for projects, nice example anyways.
Certainly caught my eye.... i wanted to take the helmet off to get the renthal moto bars in but figured i might get jaw socked if the owner witnessed my unsolicited caresses
That is a sweet little bobber/tracker build for sure! I bet it is endless fun, quick, flickable, and hardcore. Less can definitely be more with motorcycles.
