The updated Euro 5/BS6 engine gives lower emissions than the previous generation model, and is also said to deliver better fuel economy. Riding distance is also enhanced by the new, larger, 12 litre fuel tank which is said to provide up to 33% more range.

Braking duties are handled by Brembo two-piston calipers and twin discs, for better and controlled stopping power, while on the rear is a single disc set up. The dual-channel ABS is standard, as is the switchable traction control system.

The 2021 Bonneville Bobber features a 16-inch fat front wheel and new chunkier 47 mm front forks, giving a muscular and imposing front end presence.

The black painted bar-end mirrors, classic rear 'drum brake' inspired hub, side-mounted ignition barrel, LED bullet indicators and new, signature full LED headlight, with a LED daytime running light.

On the 2021 model, the single-pod instrument console features a new bezel, including a metallic embellisher with subtle Bonneville branding.

Slash-cut, sawn-off peashooter silencers complete the picture and deliver a rich and raw Bobber sound. A very high service interval of 16,000 kilometres helps to keep the ongoing cost of ownership low.
