Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Bobber (motorcycle)" in English language version.
Essentially, the XV is a production bobber: a simple, relatively sporty cruiser, designed to be easily customised using a variety of factory-made accessories.
The new bike, styled like a classic post-World War II bobber, has apehangers, a springer front end, a cut-down rear fender, a tractor saddle and tough, aggressive styling. It's another indication of Harley-Davidson emphasizing its history while at the same time reaching out to new, younger consumers.
