In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Bonneville Bobber and Bonneville Speedmaster produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Bonneville Bobber has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Bonneville Speedmaster, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Bonneville Bobber. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Bonneville Speedmaster, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the bonneville-bobber if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the bonneville-speedmaster if you want the alternative brand character.
