Why The 2021 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 Might Be My New Favourite Harley! First Ride & Review

Did you know there actually a USB port on the left side of the neck in front of the tank

Planning on buying one man!

Bought a '21 Street Bob in green. Subdues the loud graphics the best of the 4 colors, imo. Coming from essentially everything but a cruiser. It handles surprisingly nice. Brakes are my main issue. It takes so much squeeze to get any clamp and the lack of an adjustable lever makes me think about braking vs just having the lever there and giving me the feedback I expect. I disagree with the levers though, I hate the chunkiness and will likely swap them out for a more traditional sized lever. The more rear centric braking bias has taken a bit to get used to, but 500 miles in and I'm adjusting to it.

In all it was the only Harley other than the softtail standard that I was interested in.

If it had forward controls stock I would be more interested. But I prefer this bikes overall look and tank with simple cap. I don’t like the huge plastic crap on the other models tanks.

Never said a word about the suspension/ride quality?

I've see it this morning, and then i fell in love with it

Stupid question please guys….
If I bought a new one of these for £13,500.00 and parked it up in my garage, what would it’s value be in 4 or 5 years time?
Asking for a mate.
Thanks 🙏

Just a déception,THE SOUND.For thé test you are right. Thanks from France.

Good looking bike but that small gas tank won't work for me.

Appreciate it! Looking for my first street bike and torn between this, the fatbob, lowrider s, and upcoming sportster s

Nearly a thousand cc per pot, nice 👍🏻, For U.K. roads, front twin floating discs would be nice to stop the Hog ! 🤔

he had fun "driving" .... man dont know difference between a car n bike

Previously, you could get it in a 114ci, just I got my FXLR in a 114ci from the get-go. Harley Davidson has had since release of the M8 Softails a 114ci upgrade option for the 107s, which you could get at the time of purchase with full Factory warranty. The upgrade is installed by the Dealer. And BTW, the cam which come with the upgrade option produces more power/torque than the 114ci directly from the Factory. And the bike you are reviewing has a relatively small fuel tank, cool looking, yes, but not cool when you're riding with a bunch of mates and you keep asking for the next fuel stop, please.

Bob, how did you get on with the digital speedo in bar clamps? I am not a fan of the " clock-in-tank" style but this looks much smaller to read than my Suzuki.

oh god, I feel a purchase happening.

Subscribed. Well worded rundown by a true professional.

Why do they always put crap stock pipes on new bikes,,, should at least give you a refund on replacement pipes.

Great Video Brother ❗️

12222 harley davidson bob114 bike supply me farm veng district let go I need to place my country

Just bought a 2022 today! Literally!!!!

We are confused between street bob and standard but the bob more modern look and slightly powerful what do u think

I picked up the baja orange 21 bob 114, which is smooth as silk for a solid mounted motor. Alread did a mirror flip and plan on some V&H slash cut slip-ons. Compared to my old 04 1200 custom sporty which felt really top heavy, the new street bob is 100 lbs heavier but have a lower center of gravity feel.

Could this be a beginner cruiser for a new rider (50yr old) that wants a forever bike ?

From country Australia, very Nice but with that little fuel tank and big motor I know I'd be thumbing a lift to the nearest fuel stop often!

I am working in other country, i am thinking holding it for 3 years then sell it, japanese bikes drope their value very fast 😭

well good review , it is a cruiser so long distance only occasionally = there are plenty of other harleys made for that task ,

Bit smokey

The instrument cluster is really not good.. I was expecting an old school Instrument Cluster...
Also the Headlamps are really bad...

Great review on a great looking bike, BUT there is that usual missing break disc on the front wheel that really should have been there before it left the factory, HARLEY do this with a lot of these big heavy bikes I would have expected that to be a euro 5 compliant safety issue, that 2nd break disc on the front wheel would be the first mod on this bike for me, then a stage 1 and COBRA short shots

Got mine; a 2021 in Vivid Black. The stock seat is terrible and I replaced with a Saddlemen with the extra gel cushioning. What a difference! The stock seat is low and when I ride, my knees are above my hip and results in a leg cramp, and has a built in 'backrest' which is awesome. The new seat raises me just enough so my legs are level with the ground and don't cramp. Next is to remove the stock mufflers and put on Vance & Hines. I've forgotten all about my sportbike!! :)

They do look good but seem a bit on the small size..i'm 6ft 1 and currently ride a big old Suzuki gsx 1400 which is a lot bigger compared to this.

🤘😎🏍

Yeah, I wish it had dual disk front like my 94 FXDL.

I'm not a fan of the control position

I live in Oregon and the model number ( 114 ) I don't like. It is the same number of an unconstitutional law that they want to impose on us.

Glad to see a not so very big guy ride one of these, lots of other videos are people 6ft+ tall, and as a 5' 5" guy it makes it harder to judge what id look like on these bikes. great comprehensive look at the bike, thanks !

He yammers for the whole video and doesn't even give you a proper test drive WASTE OF TIME

I can't park my Triumph because my neighbor takes up 3 of the motorcycle parking spots with his Street Bob...

Cool bike，like mine～

She's loud enough mate. No need for silly tuned exhaust.

I wish the triumph bobber wasn’t so compact
If it was a little more stretched out it would be my pick over any Harley

Ya, what's not to like. Street bob and softail standard are my favorites in the lineup.

I believe 100hp or close to

Change bars and pipes and perfection.

As an owner of a 2023 Street Bob, I love it. I bought it because of its simplicity. I previously owned Ducati motorcycles and this bike is totally in a class of its own. While not super fast it does have good acceleration and handling (the ape bars do limit its handling in tight turns) it is very easy to operate. I find the rear brake on my 2023 to be better than most bikes (mine does not have ABS brakes). I did add a crash bar which saved my bike when the wind blew it over while parked or someone knocked it over. LED turn signals upgrade was a must and a new seat. I live close to the Tail of the Dragon (318 curves in 11 miles) and I am anxious to try the bike on this road.

Need to save £6000 to £7000 and part ex my (18plate) 2015 xjr1300, this harley floats my boat and then ger v&h short shots

Sounds like a lawnmower. 😢

Correction: I said power and torque are up, but power actually remained pretty much the same. Torque is up by ~10Nm.
