Napoleon Bobber 500 V2 Bobber Cruiser

Description

I’ve been riding a Benda Napoleon Bobber 500 V2 for a few months now and honestly, it’s one of the most fun bikes I’ve ever had. It’s got that classic bobber look — stripped down, aggressive, and way more than just a weekend ride. The floating seat, scabbard forks, and that "Flying Wing" handlebar? Perfect for a sporty, relaxed riding stance.

The 448cc V2 engine pulls strong — 37kW, 42 N.m of torque, and it’ll get you up to 145 km/h. The pulley transmission makes it feel smooth, even when you’re pushing it a bit. I’ve noticed how the big tyres give it a solid presence on the road, and it handles corners without much fuss.

I bought it through BDS Motorcycles in Barrow-upon-Soar, Charnwood — they’ve been around for over 30 years and actually run a racing team too. They’ve got a wide range of bikes and accessories, and I’ve had a few good chats with the team about maintenance and tuning.

I’ve only ridden it a couple of times a week, mostly around local roads, and it’s been reliable and easy to keep up with. I’ve also got a 3-month parts and labour warranty on it, which gives me peace of mind.

It’s not cheap — it’s actually £4,949.10 — but I’ve been thinking about selling it because I’m looking to switch to something a bit more utilitarian. If you’re into classic bobbers with a bit of edge and actual performance, this one’s worth a look.

If you're interested, just give me a quick call — I can share more details or even show you a ride if you’re local. No pressure, just a real bike, real experience.
