Say hello to the VALR Bobber. This bike started as a sketch on a scrap of paper, a mix of heritage and adventure, and now roaring to life thanks to the team Thornton Hundred motorcycles.
We built it as a tribute to the RAF’s legendary Squadron V, whose grit, precision, and sense of purpose have always inspired me. Every detail of this build connects back to that spirit of raw, functional, unapologetically bold. But it’s also designed to go the distance. Across countries, new terrain and embracing adventure.
Working with the team at Thornton Hundred, we pushed every detail to its limit. This isn’t just a show bike, It’s a ride-ready machine with the soul of a war-era workhorse and the styling of something you’ve never seen before.
From a custom twisted exhaust, hand-built for character and sound, made to echo through valleys and across coastlines; V4 carbon wide wheels that bring both performance and edge plus a hand-stitched seat, tank bag, and bespoke panniers built for endurance and style. Not to mention bespoke military-inspired paintwork, down to the finest detailing. And the finishing touches of the compass, reminding us of VALR’s moto and 1-of-1 engine plaque to remind us this is a one-off, never to be repeated.
This bike is personal. Not just for how it looks or rides, but for what it stands for. VALR is about pushing boundaries, mentally, physically, and creatively. This build is the first step in a journey that’ll take me across Europe and beyond.
Let’s see where the road leads.
