This bike was released to be modified. Nasa name sake nya "Bobber" - strip down single seat old-school. Precursor of the choppers. You're expected to change pipes, flip down the mirrors, remove or cut fenders, minimum electronics, even sometimes remove front brakes, and suicide clutch.
Kung bibili ka for practical purposes, Rebel 500 is the better choice (not even a competition). Fuel economy, ease of maintenance, parts availability, after-market accessories, pillion provision, better suspension, more nimble handling, smoother engine. Ang lamang ng bobber, yung tunog tsaka spoked wheels.
