BSA Bantam Bobber 350

Design: The BSA Bobber 350 gets a traditional bobber-inspired design, with its biggest highlight being the low-slung stance and single-seat configuration. Its overall design draws from the Jawa 42 Bobber, albeit with a few tweaks here and there. The standard version gets a relatively understated appearance, while the Bobber 350 SP takes things up a notch with subtle chrome detailing. Both bikes have a slightly different side panel, a differently shaped fuel tank, and a tail light that has been repositioned to just below the seat as compared to the rear fender-mounted tail light on the Jawa 42 Bobber.

Features: The standard BSA Bantam Bobber 350 gets a relatively simple equipment package, with its focus primarily on the riding experience and bobber styling. It features a single-seat setup, while dual-channel ABS takes care of braking safety. The motorcycle is likely to have an LCD console with basic set of information. The Bobber 350 SP, on the other hand, gets a more premium equipment package, including a full-colour TFT instrument display. It also features dark chrome detailing, giving it a more distinctive appearance.

Engine: The BSA Bantam Bobber 350 is powered by a 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, producing 28.61PS at 8,000rpm and 26.40Nm at 6,000rpm.

Suspension, Brakes & Other Details: The standard BSA Bantam Bobber 350 gets a telescopic front fork, while the SP version features an upside-down fork finished in gold. The rear suspension is a gas charged monoshock unit with 7-step preload adjustability. For braking, the motorcycle gets a 320mm front and a 240mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. The seat height is very accessible at 742mm, and the kerb weight is 189kg. The SP version also features 16-inch spoked wheels, including a chunky front tyre, whereas the standard version rolls on an 18-inch front and a 17-inch rear alloy wheel.

Rivals: The BSA Bobber 350’s competitors are the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, and Classic Legends’ own Jawa 42 Bobber and the Jawa Perak. That said, the latter two are unlikely to clash with the BSA in markets abroad.

Variants: The BSA Bantam Bobber 350 will be available in two versions: the standard Bobber 350 and the special edition Bobber 350 SP (Special Parts). While the standard version gets a conventional telescopic front fork, the SP version features a gold-finished USD fork. The latter also gets dark chrome detailing, 16-inch spoked wheels with a chunky front tyre, and a full-colour TFT display.
