Bobber Lovers go to www.trademe.co.nz and put 1065792322 into the search box to see a fancy bobber. Apparently it has the rare to Americans 400cc engine. The asking price contradicts the term Bobber. I don't know about cutting and pasting and stuff, I can only provide the listing.

Well it is snazzy looking - but I don't imagine it gets ridden very far from home.  I guess you have to move the carb into an unnatural position to make room for you to sit a 18" above the ground......sure doesn't look comfortable to ride.

Indeed, it is NOT  a bobber
Bobbing a bike doesn't include modifying the frame, it's lightening the parts, with the avowed intention of making it perform better
That motorcycle is a custom, and a barely rideable one
in truth, it's butt jewelry

I laugh when I see a pickup lowered and on those one inch sidewall tires. Useless.
Just like that bike.

Naww, maan, naawww, say it ain't so.

There's a four door chevy in town. I giggle every time I see it.
Looks like a life size version of something that you would get out of a Cracker Jack box.

It is like riding a bike with big tall ape hangers.... only you lowered your body, and didn't raise the bars.
Pretty much that riding position... fella at the Thunder beach had one, his head was above the bar line so he had good view of the road, just sat lower with hands above/equal to shoulder height.

I think it's cool. Who says it has to be practical to be worthwhile? I like women in thigh high stiletto root me boots, and they can't run for sh.. in those things.

It may be a piece of shite, it may be "cool", horrible little word. I'm not shelling $NZ12000 to buy  it I'll stick with what I've got.

Jockey shift as well? Shocked

Now I am sure that it is un-rideable.....and is a static display.

actually several have called it useless, unrideable to this crowd basically means useless
it is pretty, but that's all it's got going for it
