My vote for thumper goes to 250 and above 4 stroke singles. Not for any reason other than that's what we called ours, when we were kids. Same here. The HD Sprints SS250 and SS350 were thumpers and acknowledged as such by the serious bikers, as were the BSA,Norton,Enfield and Triumph 250/350 bikes.

Bobber to me is a bike that still has rear suspension: When it's been hardtailed, it becomes a something else. Chopper doesn't sound right tho.....

The original bobbers were strictly bikes with uneeded bling stripped off and the monsterous fenders cut off(bobbed). True minimalist bikes! In the late 1960s you started to see the "choppers. With or without suspension, the frames were chopped and rewelded to change the look or rake of the bike.

Yellow 1996 Jetted and Dunstall exhaust. Dakota Chubby Bags, Memphis Slim shield,Tank Bib from?? Seat riser mod. More to come!
