Twin shocks on show, dual seat, ordinary rear mudguard (fender)
Not a 'bobber' to me.

A stock rocket with just a pipe and air intake will make 165 + HP to the rear wheel and the S&S engines will not make that kind of power

I think that this new rash of retro-bobbers can more accurately be called faux or false bobbers. almost by definition, these factory fresh bikes accnot be considered true bobbers as the "bobbing" must be performed by an owner or his agents post-production, sale and delivery to the end user.

I do miss all my Harley comforts. I too would like to see Triumph compete with the cruiser market. Starting with a huge comfy seat. A full upper and lower fairing would be nice with electronic windshield similar to the Indian shield and a thumpin' sound system. If they put all that together they wouldn't be able to make them fast enough. I love my r3t but it isn't a true comparison to a Touring bike be it a Godwin or an Ultra.

Oh, the haters. I hope they sell a bunch. I like the look, but like Phil says, bobbing is done by the owner, so these are kinda sorta faux bobs. Also I cannot believe that rear suspension has travel worth a ****, so serious handling would be iffy. Looks like fun though, and I hope Triumph sells a lot of them.
