Editor John takes the little Yamaha to the dyno as a high-level pipe goes on… Keeping in mind that this needs to be a practical custom bike, I could have kept the stock exhaust, or maybe gone for the new Remus Hexacone full system costing £666 from Performance Parts (www.performanceparts-ltd.com) – that would have given me…

Based on the Bonneville T120, the new Bobber carries wide bars, a minimum of bodywork and cleverly hidden rear suspension.
