    I agree 100%.
    It's refreshing to be able to buy a bike that's NOT loaded down with all the extras. Not everybody wants to pay for all that extra stuff. Some people act like "standard equipment" is thrown in for free. No dummies, that increases the price of the bike. Let the guys who want those extras buy the next model up.

    I love everything about my 2021 Street Bob in Deadwood Green. I have the laced chrome spokes. They give the bike that classic American cruiser vibe. I also added forward controls, an H-D solo seat, Cobra Neighbor Haters, LED bullet lights and mustache engine guards. She’s a real beauty!

    I love everything about the bike except the tank capacity. A bigger tank takes nothing away from what it's all about but gives you a much more useable range. Will be my first mod.

      It is not even the best looking tank. Kinda looks like it was an afterthought. Not sure if I would want the fatbob tanks with a tank mount clock look but the extra fuel capacity will become a must as more gas stations close.

    I bought a new 22’ Street Bob 114 last month,because it’s the lightest of the big twins. Excellent handling,better than my old 2007 Dyna Street Bob 96. Thank you for putting it out there. Think of it as the old Sportster 1200 replacement. Plenty power and no reason not travel, tour with it. There is a electronic cruise control from Harley Davidson.

    Finally someone on YT that is speaking sense! I 100% agree with you. So many LRS videos on YT and comparing the SB saying it needs this and that. If they had the same specs it would be the same bike. I try not to watch Videos on the LRS anymore there is just so many. The SB is the better bike in looks and everything imo. 👍

    I agree in your viewpoint, Jawn. The bike is what it is. The factory makes different models for different tastes and requirements. It isnt a GSXR 1000; no NEED for inverted forks or massive brake power. The setup on the bike is fine.
    Don't need a 6 gallon gas tank! I don't tour with a group of Gold Wings. (No offense to the GW). I LIKE the little gauge; speedo and fuel level.
    Less things to break too.
    The Street Bob had some paint and styling differences from on of my favorite bikes; the Softail Standard. I liked the bright finishes and gloss black paint. It is like the Street Bob just a cool bike to top off the tank and just ride.
    It's your bike. It has to only satisfy one person. The owner. Ride safe.

    Absolutely nailed it with this. If I wanted a high performance cruiser I would’ve gotten the low rider s but I want a low slung bobber with comfort so I went with the street bob. The stupidest argument is the price one, “for what you’re paying it should have this this and this” well the low rider s is more expensive for a reason…

    I have a 21 and I absolutely love my bike. I have modded it cosmetically to my liking. The gators on the forks look tough IMO, and I love them. I completely agree that it could use a bigger tank. When riding distances with the homies, I feel like shit about all the extra stops I gotta make. But apart from that, I love my bike. I want forward controls, but I haven't found any I like. They all look janky and like they just won't last. If anyone can recommend any high end, chunky forward controls that are available in black, please let me know. As far as people that tell you what your bike needs, how would they know. It's YOUR bike. When talking to another rider about their bike, the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" applies 100% of the time. If a person asks for your opinion, that is a different story, but people build their bikes to suit their needs and wants. Apply your thoughts to your bike, and just keep on keeping on!! I am going to begin building up my motor here in the very near future. New rims and tires and then beef up the motor time. #streetbobmob #fxbbsyes

    I'm 66 years old and a Harley Bagger guy but I bought a 2023 Street Bob 114 in August 23 over here in South Korea where I live and work and I absolutely LOVE it! I got my first Harley in 75 on my 18th birthday and have been riding Harley's ever since. It was an AMF Harley Davidson Sportster 1000. I always wanted another Sportster but they are just too small for me at 6'2 and 230lbs. My other two bikes back in the US are a 2012 Harley Street Glide and a 2004 Big Dog custom (Bulldog Model). So I call my Street Bob my "Big Guy" Sportster. It has lots of power and torque too, so hold on if you jump on one and are used to riding older model Harley's.

  • @dciimho2798
    @dciimho2798 ปีที่แล้ว

    Okay, I know I'm a little late commenting on this post but I need to throw in my 2 cents worth here. I own the 2021 SB and I've thrown quite a few mods at it but that's what makes it mine and it still doesn't look like the LRS. My 114 was crap off the showroom floor and after we figured out what was wrong with it I ended up with a 122 ci. for less than 400 bucks out the door. The rear brakes on the SB suck and you can easily overpower the traction of the front tire with the single rotor setup. My solution was adding the Arlen Ness 6 piston differential bore caliper and bracket to the rear wheel. You can easily screw up with this setup but in combination with the single front rotor you now have reduced braking distance comparable to twin front rotors and it looks bad ass. Just my first hand opinion on this subject.

    • @TheMotoJawn

      It could be just making sure to ride responsibly and learn the skills. I'd still recommend something cheap and small first

    • @pizzajake427
      @pizzajake427 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd say in terms of size and weight, it could be a good starter fit. The 114 M8 engine is no joke though, and must be respected. I would not have ridden this if I was a beginner.

      As a counterargument, the price between the Lowrider S and the ST is literal thousands and the only difference is a fairing and saddlebags. So while you may have to add shit to the S it will almost certainly end up being cheaper than factory customization of the ST. I also have a '22 Street Bob and would much rather add aftermarket parts that I choose myself than let Harley put what they think is cool on the bike then tax me like crazy for it.

    I wouldn’t call the the Street Bob a muscle or performance cruiser. It’s more of a bobber/chopper hybrid. Stripped down,laidback, everything you need nothing you don’t cruiser. The Fat Bob is more of a muscle or performance cruiser minus the performance. A wolf in sheep’s clothing if you will. Your true Power cruisers are the Rocket 3, X Diavel, M109R, V-Max, V-Rod, FTR 1200 and the Sportster S.

    I agree 100%. Not trolling and I promise I mean this with all due respect regarding your thoughtful videos… Since it is a bobber possibly lose the ugly garbage can lid faring and the rear mounted child’s travel duffel bag. And get a backpack if you need to carry anything. I love the Street Bob. You don’t have to build it up like the ST. Unless that’s what you want. And if you want one, get it!!
    As you say. It’s a Bobber. Stripped down. Naked. Don’t put tighty whiteys on it.

    • @CrypticHauntings
      @CrypticHauntings 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The difference between the low rider s and the street Bob is 9 hp and 6 pound feet of torque. The difference in price is close to 2k USD. If you take that 2k and upgrade the exhaust on a street bob, not only does it sound better than a stock lowrider S, but you'll have more hp. Everything is subjective. Nothing worse than riding a Harley with a stock exhaust IMO. They sound like a sewing machine.
