Went to my local Harley dealer to get an inspection on my DR650. I have no interest in Harley's but I saw a Fat Bob 114 in red with Rhinehart mufflers and holy shit I was blown away. I even sat on it and man did it feel good. Thank God it's 18k plus or else I might have just bought it on the spot.
That 114 is a beast! I test rode one of these Fat Bob's last year and ended up buying the Heritage classic. Great vid, Dan. Thanks sir!
This is exactly the bike I'm eyeing right now! Thank you very much for the review!
Mate, i loved how you felt riding it 😍 great review
I have watched this one, it's a real beauty and it seems nice 😍
Cool review! I had a 114 Fat Bob with the Rinehart exhausts, what a bike and what a sound... But as you say if only one had unlimited space in the garage (and unlimited budget)!
I bought the fat bob 2 month ago. its my first bike and I'm totally happy with it. I changed the ugly number plate so my backtire is open. next one will be the pipe. Its a great bike, fun as hell.
Agree. Changed my number plate to side mount, looks so much better. So difficult to gauge the difference in exhaust note when most muffler reviews are filmed and watched (listened to) on a mobile with tiny speakers. I fitted Rinehart Racing mufflers, look great and OMG when I first fired her up it was like thunder. Deep and resonating :)
Can't say whether the Fat Bob is the best Harley Davidson but it surely is the coolest of the entire 2020 collection.
Great review bro! Subscribed and watching. Your review on the Fat Bob sold me and I bought one. Like you said perfect for the second bike role and so much fun. Did the 117 stage 4 upgrade and it's a complete beast!!! Perfect siting beside the XDiavel. Cheers from Vancouver Canada.
Thanks! Glad you got one and are enjoying it! I'd love to see a pic of the beast! My email is in the description if you feel like sharing! Thanks and happy riding!
Imagine the sound of it with an aftermarket exhaust 😱
Who, has to imagine the sound (noise) of a Harley with an aftermarket exhaust? Anyone?
@@louislopez55 Well since I just started getting into motorcycles and know hardly anything, yes, random rude internet douche, I do have to imagine it.
Got my 114 five months ago and love it. Number plate now side mounted. The strangled lawnmower sound had to go. Difficult to gauge the sound of mufflers with a video clip recorded and viewed/listened to, on a mobile. Short shots sound too harsh for me. Fitted Rinehart Racing mufflers and OMG when I fired her up its like hearing thunder, deep and resonating, yet not harsh like short shots. Sounds freakin awesome through tunnels. Take a test ride, you'll be impressed.
I did the Bassani Road Rage complete system on mine, sounds amazing.
Excellent video quality for a 2.5" screen! Love it
Clearly doing what biking is about, getting out and enjoying it👍
Love it :) , looking forward to 790 duke
Nice review.To be honest...it scared me to ride along at first on the wrong side of the road! My instinct was to turn back into the right lane. Doubt at 62 I could learn either. Fat Bob seems to be a winner in the visceral ride arena!
Very cool motorcycle! Nice review!
You should hear the Vance and hines highoutput slip ons on the fat bob, it sounds like a Lion roar
Even on the street 500, Vance and Hanes sound EPIC!!!
They look a treat too! Like the barrels of a massive shotgun! Unfortunately by the time you get them in India they cost upwards of 80k, or so I reckon.
This is the only HD I have any interest in. I think it looks great! Just a touch pricey.
Hopefully, you will get a view bump on this video as the new bad boys 3 movie trailer features a fat bob.
11:55 eyes front Mr Bad Arse 😂
I have no idea what you mean but I am a BAD ARSE!
Would love this as my new bike and keep my ZZR1100 just cause I love her 😘
good machine... but the place u r riding is even more fantastic man.... cheers 👍
Ahh, you discuss the Fat Bob using the Queen's English..that is a first :)
Not quite Queens English, more in the middle class arena.
Nice looking cruiser.
Hey Dan loving all the content, Just as someone who doesn't ride bikes yet it would be awesome if you had a video explaining basic riding clutch control etc etc. Keep it up
There a few videos out there. When i first started riding i was watching a few vids but when you hop on a bike you will just get it. The vids gave me a basic idea or everything but its more about what the clutch bite is like. I own an MT-09 and I love her but shes aggressive. He may make a vid on it but i recommend just hopping on a bike and get the feel for it.
Not a bad idea, thanks for the suggestion!
BTW Harley has turn signal extension switches that makes using the turn signals much better
Not my kind of bike; but a good review and that is what counts. Thanks Dan
114 beast
Nice review. I've owned two Harleys; an Iron 883 and a Street Bob. Decent bikes, but I've switched to my CB650R and I'm never looking back. I have a full write-up of the differences if you care to see them. They are obviously two very different ways to ride, and I found myself trying to ride a cruiser like a sport bike.
The new Harleys are whole lot better than they've ever been. Honestly, when I test rode the new fat Bob I forgot all about the horse powers of the Ducatis and the fireblades and what not. I just thought that were there to be an apocalypse, this is the bike I'd take! Which is ironic because once Harley did advertise it as an apocalypse bike. A lot has to do with the torque and a tank like build quality. I know Harleys have had a bad rep in build, but the new ones are build to last, anything you touch feels like a rock. It doesn't feel like made out of foil of metal as a Honda would, (I still have a 650f), but feels like raw iron haha! Sorry for the long comment but I just test rode it recently so in the feel of it still. It was visceral really. Spec sheet numbers don't do justice to it. Just the thing you need, with a freight train like torque and build to ram through a horde of zombies! 😂
I got the same color on my ‘19 iron 883 , I think I’m gonna trade it in for a fat bob too next year
And as I can see in your dp you did! Handsome looking bike mate!
Nice to see a cool Fat Bob vid from somebody on the same side of the pond. Talking of bits and bobs can I second a comment down below about the music at the start and end please? I can't wait to hear the rest of it. Cheers
Thanks for the luv and maybe it's my bad but I was hoping you'd have the name of the track for me too! Any chance of that?
Nice looking bike, certainly more chilled than some of the nutter machines out there :D
Definitely, was a very relaxed, comfortable and fun place to be!
‚Tis is the Most appealing Harley to me
Nice review
Thanks!
I would've at least expected this review done in an American accent 😋
I’ve never seen a Harley with the stock exhaust in the states.
Got a 2021 FXLRS but find it a bit too harsh, so might swap it for a Fat Bob. Is the Fat Bob quite a bit more comfy, especially in the front?
Fat Bob does everything right that KXLRs didn't.
Extra point for "Bob, ha!".
nice review , xsr700 or cb650r? in terms of built quality and refinement.
I would go for the Honda...I did!
In terms of build quality, Honda wins that one.
@@Englishbikerdan thanks for the reply
Which did you prefer, this or the Sport Glide?
Very late to the party here guys... I'm looking for some input with regards to the A licence and A2 licence... So, I've just cashed in some crypto and looking to buy a Fat Bob 114 as I've always been an admirer of its looks, plus, I've just recently come out of a very long-term relationship where my ex partner wasn't fond of motorbikes [now i have that freedom to finally get on two wheels]. I know it's foolish, but seriously considering on purchasing one in the next few weeks and I've already been the Harley Davidson dealership, but my downfall is, I don't have a bike license yet, but already have the CBT scheduled for next month. I'm kinda following my father's traits if I'm honest [He passed away last year due to C19], he bought a new Harley Davidson Fat Boy 1998 limited edition (solid wheels) back in 98 and that's when I fell in love with Harleys - and, at the time he couldn't even ride a bicycle (must be genetic, minus the ability to ride a bicycle). I'm really looking for advice tho, I'm in my mid 30's and slightly confused with the licence regs with the exact age restrictions for actual CC categories and where the Fat Bob would actually stand. I'm not sure if at my age I still need to hold the A2 for two years prior to getting the A licence or if because I'm over 24yrs old I can just do my CBT, then do the A licence and then just ride the Fat Bob without having 2yrs of riding experience that you get with the A2 - i know it probably sounds stupid, but can someone explain in simple terms on whether I'd be eligible to ride, for example, the Fat Bob or if it's gonna be a situation where I'll be keeping the bike in the garage for two years, which I'm happy to do so.
Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
Hey, so your best route is to do your CBT then the direct access course which would give you your full license to ride the fat Bob. Sorry to hear about your father mate. All the best
Good review of a nice bike but don't like the brown paint or 'rusty' exhaust. Yep never bothers me to enjoy riding my Harley.
I kinda like Harley's think they look great and the sound.... but they're just so expensive compared to what you can get from other manufacturers, makes it hard to justify unless you've got a few bob, looking forward to your 790 Duke vid
A few...... Bob. I see what you did there. I really enjoyed it and there are cheaper models. They are just different and they do their own thing which I like.
@@Englishbikerdan and the community about them is great, dealership etc there always seems to be something going on, dealer and club organised evens etc. I've had a look around at some models maybe sometime I'll end up getting one. Only thing really stopping me now is that i would be using it all day everyday for everything and not sure if they'd be great for having as a your only bike. Anyway, great channel, hope you keep growing it 👍
You won't be able to justify the cost of a Harley unless you touch and ride one. The way it's made, it feels like a lump of iron ore thundering down the road. The kind of bike you'd wish you had in an apocalypse to ram through a horde of zombies. Absolutely mystical experience to ride one.
I like your phone case.. where did you get it from?, thank you.
UltimateAddOns 👍
What's that song in the beginning?
HD dealerships must be way different over in Europe , here in US i have tryed to schedule a test ride with 3 different dealerships with 0 success , they are not going to give you any attention unless you are there with the intention to purchase on spot, at least that has been my experience with Harley and thats why I will not be spending $ on one
What phone case is that? Is that just a clip on to the Fat Bob?
It's from ultimate add ons. Just a simple add on to the bars.
9:54 😂😂😂 yeah I can see filtering to be a problem with this one...
filtering is no problem on this bike, learn to ride!
Take a black fatbob , put a set of sport glide rims on it , lower the rear fender cause it's too high and with the new rims get rid of them big balloon tires . It would bring out a different kind of look . With these new looks the headlight might look good . Could always ditch the headlight and put a real Harley headlight on the bike
But that would make it look ugly.
Hey bro what is the max speed of Harley Davidson Fat Bob ?
Joyshree Mondal 55 without blowing away
119 mph
Thanks guys for the reply
❤️👍👍👍
Oil cooled not air cooled. Nice review mate
Ah thanks, I'm sure the dealer said air cooled. 😂
Oil and air cooled.
Any more fun than your 650 ?
Way more! I have a 650f. Spec sheets don't do justice to what a god a Harley feels like when you ride it. It's made to feel not to explain. Had I the money I'd swap mine for a fat Bob in a heartbeat.
Yep I agree, the FatBob is the better looking of them all. But one thing I absolutely don't like about the Harleys is all the the covers. Cover over exhaust, cover over wiring, cover over cover all over the bike! And mention the wiring...it looks like spaghetti! Not well done at all! But no worries, it's covered by a cover! I'll stop now... ;-)
What is your height?
I'm around 5'7"
IRONIC. an, asian or europe guy, using a Harley Davidson Brand.... boy, this is a allies side.... you side is a axle. Iam from Brazil. good luck
LACREI
Are you trying to suggest all of Europe was Axis? I think you need to study history a little closer.
Nice looking underpowered for price though n not loud enough wheres the harley noise
Fat bike with fat tires 🤙
Lovely 360p :)
Stop being impatient! 😂
HD now! Wooooo.
I'd imagine it must be pretty dangerous driving on the wrong side of the road like this.
Things are different in other countries, who knew! ;)
Sounds pretty QUIET, more like.
I know its just a test ride, but i definitely would put some louder pipes.
Personally.
Wrong side of the road
Wtf is that exhaust 🍑
3:57 Diavel 😎
I hope you ignored every other oncoming bike to complete the Harley experience.
Sadly I failed at this task!
@will M The goldwing lot arent immune either
One guy I nodded to was on a moped, looked at me very puzzled
@@sniperon2wheels Im surprised he even noticed, they usually too busy texting.
I only wave to my Mum if I see her out doing the shopping.
Emotional not emotive. Common dumb mistake 😅
Don't get emotional! Or is it emotive!? 😂😝
Could they make it any uglier? Freakin gross. Don't turn around and try to race that Ducati. You'll get a humbling up.
Well luckily, looks are subjective! Why would anyone race a Diavel on a Fat Bob?!
@@Englishbikerdan Exactly, why would anyone race a Diavel on a Fatbob? The outcome (loss) is already predetermined. Who do other H-D's race against? Almost always other H-D's, for a reason. FYI I've had H-D's forever and still have a '74 FXE and my 120R turbo FLHX as well as my XDiavel S, so I'm definitely not anti-HD. Just that the Kool-Aid wore off a long time ago.
Why would anyone race on the road? Buy a sports bike and do a track day if thats your thing.
