Bristol Bobber 650 review: Affordable classic-styled cruiser tested | Top Gear Philippines

Aside from being the biggest model in Bristol’s local lineup, the Bristol Bobber 650, which is priced at P398,000, may just be one one of the most affordable big-bike options you can find here if you consider peso per cc of engine displacement.

[@drinkme1544]

Salamat sa maayos na review boss

[@kevingarcia-gz7or]

di po ba 700cc n ung bagong model ng bobber nila

[@neiljohngudia5827]

This bike was released to be modified. Nasa name sake nya "Bobber" - strip down single seat old-school. Precursor of the choppers. You're expected to change pipes, flip down the mirrors, remove or cut fenders, minimum electronics, even sometimes remove front brakes, and suicide clutch.

ano hieght nyu po sir ?

[@08leonardtan]

Okay ba 'to sa 6 footer?

[@KennyAlmendral]

ano pong height nyo sir Leandre

[@tuttry]

Correction: it's 649cc not 549cc.

[@leandremarigrecia4953]

Sorry for the error, and thanks for the correction!

[@marinoadventures8802]

Pwedeng pa compare vs rebel 500 🤘🏻

[@the_undecidead]

Kung bibili ka for practical purposes, Rebel 500 is the better choice (not even a competition). Fuel economy, ease of maintenance, parts availability, after-market accessories, pillion provision, better suspension, more nimble handling, smoother engine. Ang lamang ng bobber, yung tunog tsaka spoked wheels.

[@kpraz]

sad. doesnt have the rumble

[@samoabudol4408]

Triumph Bobber Squatter Edition

[@tombombadilofficial]

Dami nito for sale 2nd hand sa facebook market. Puro kalawang yung mga pang ilalim. Bat ganun?

[@shashimenon1000]

[@reynaldochua772]

[@harrygarcia2233]

[@joshreyla7789]

Parang mas sulit ung benelli 502c

[@numbermayhem]
