You guys must know about the Mods vs Rockers right? Especially you guys from England. Well that is where a lot of the bobbed bikes started. Some say it started in the USA with servicemen coming home from the war and they loved those Indians and Harleys. They cut and bobbed the fenders tossed the extra crap and made bobbed race bikes out of old military bikes. Cafe bikes and bobbers were all over England in the late 50s to the 70s. Triumph is making a nostalgic stab at the bobber market to get a new generation of riders purchasing motor bikes again. Look what Yamaha, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Suzuki,and Triumph are doing with scramblers. I am happy to see their attempt at this. It makes you realize they do not live in a bubble of any particular style of bike. I think its a great attempt to attract new riders. If we dont get a younger crowd involved with different styles of bikes, certain models will fade away and eventually only a few manufacturers will survive. Look beyond your own bike and see the vast world of excellent motorcycles that exist for us all.

I really like the look of this bike, but didn't realize how small it was. Guess I'll stick to riding big fat cruisers.
