A ‘bobber’ is a motorcycle that is typically stripped down from stock, but not stripped down as much as a “chopper”.
If you can ride it for more than 50 miles at a time, it’s probably still a ‘touring bike’… unless it’s a Road King.
(I’ll take those cross-post points now.)

Definitions change over time. What we call a bobber today could be a chopper if you were having this discussion in the 60's. A guy I know has a hardtail panhead with a springer front, a sissy bar but uncut frame that would be called a bobber today but decades earlier it would be considered a chopper before choppers got long front ends and raked necks. He went so far as to make it clear his bike is NOT a bobber and that he might get violent if someone called it a bobber lol.
Is the modern bike above a bobber? Kind of but more wanna be because it's too new and comfortable looking.
