Customized, High-Quality, Exclusive, Stylish, Performance-Oriented
There's a certain gravitas, a tangible coolness, about this beast that can't be easily put into words. The Vagabund RxV Triumph Bobber, a breathtakingly unique two-wheeled vision, is the offspring of Vagabund and Raisch's ingenuity. It's a custom-built marvel that almost feels too good to be let loose on the open road.
First thing that catches your eye is the tailored speedo bracket that is armed with a motogadget tiny. This isn't merely functional; it adds a stylish dash to the machine. The rear end is a masterpiece in its own right, an intricate combination of Polyamid 12 plastics, laser-cut steel and laser-cut aluminium, topped off with a ShinYo stripe LED rear/brakelight nestled within. This, paired with alcantara upholstery, sends a strong message of unabashed boldness.
And then there are the black anodized aluminium fork covers, neatly housing integrated LED turn signals from Raisch. An unexpected, but welcome feature, making it stand out in the crowd. The lowered handlebar doesn't just offer improved control; it lends an air of attitude, a hunched, ready-for-action pose.
An impressive exhaust system—black ceramic coated stainless steel from Remus—adds a layer of aggressive, growling sophistication. On the technical front, the wave brake discs teamed with Raisch aluminum adapter is a confident statement of performance and durability.
Those 17-inch takasago Excel wheels aren't just striking to look at. Wrapped in Diablo Supercorsa tires, they scream of resilience and top-notch handling, a testament to the bike's engineering prowess. Custom paint job with graphical works and blackened engine- and body parts make it stand out, giving the Bobber a slightly dangerous, thrilling allure.
The aluminium fuel cap and the small Raisch front fender are the final touches, just subtle enough to complement the whole persona without being ostentatious.
All in all, this Vagabund RxV Triumph Bobber is a magnificent beast of a machine, an embodiment of stylish aggression. If it were a song, it would be a rock anthem, played loud, echoing through the canyons as it roars down the highway. It's a ticket to freedom, a testament to the spirit of the road that can make you yearn for the thrill of a wild ride.

- Enhanced Control: The lowered handlebar is designed for improved control and handling, particularly at high speeds or in difficult road conditions.
- Distinctive Appearance: The custom paint job, blackened engine and body parts, and graphical works give the bike a unique, eye-catching look.
Cons:
- Price: With a price tag of €35,000, the Vagabund RxV Triumph Bobber is a significant investment. This motorcycle may not be affordable to the average rider or those on a budget.
- Comfort: Although the design is visually appealing, bobbers, by nature, are not typically known for their comfort, especially over long distances. The focus on aesthetics may sacrifice some elements of comfort, such as a larger, padded seat or a more comfortable riding position.
- Limited Utility: With its minimalist design, this bike may not be as practical as others for everyday use. It may lack storage space, passenger capacity, and other features that would make it suitable for a wide range of tasks.
- Maintenance and Upkeep: Custom bikes with unique parts can be more challenging and costly to maintain. If something goes wrong, finding the right parts or a mechanic familiar with the bike may be difficult.
- Resale Value: While the exclusivity of a custom bike can make it highly desirable, it could also limit the potential pool of buyers should you decide to sell it in the future, possibly affecting its resale value.
