2022 STREET BOB (FXBBS) RIDE AND REVIEW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2022
- I take the 2022 Street Bob for ride and give my thoughts as they come to me. Not factual, mostly just my opinion, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I discuss the pros and cons of the Street Bob and identify who would get the most use out of the Street Bob. I talk about what's changed over the recent years.
Enjoy, and drop a like if you enjoy the video.
120-150 miles is a good stopping point when riding. Speaking for myself, it is at about that time that I begin to mentally checkout, and a quick break is needed anyway. Not every trip needs to qualify for an Iron-butt award.
Yeah I said you could tour on a Street Bob. Terrible idea but yeah you can do it.
@@thehdguy378 Terrible idea? People cross the country on stock Iron’s and 125cc Yamaha cruisers….
Good edit mate. B roll, camera angles and transitions are great. 🤙
Much appreciated! I’m getting more consistent
Just found you bro. Nice job. Looking to move from 2020 Iron 883 to either the Street Bob 114 or Lowrider S. This was a really good presentation! New sub!!!
Just picked up a gauntlet gray ‘22 this past Friday and I love it. Coming from a sportster 48, it’s a massive upgrade. It’s funny that I’m actually stoked about having a 3.5 gallon tank. No more filling up every 55 miles lmao
how are you liking it? about to make the same switch, forty eight to street bob
Yeah Mike you gonna respond or what
*mike has left the chat*
I have to disagree, taking this bike on long distance isn't much difference in parts, I changed the seat and added engine guards. Made my 1,300 mile ride enjoyable. The minimalistic dash makes it perfect to see the road and sights the world has to offer.
Like I said, you CAN do it. It’s just not the bike I’d choose for longer trips. I have a softail as well and I plan on doing longer trips but I couldn’t imagine a 3.5 gallon tank with the way I ride. I’d be stopping every 100 miles.
Duane Sifuentes, I agree with you. The Street Bob is just as good as any other Softail to do long distance rides or touring with which I have done.
Fairings and windshields are for princesses.
@@mcscotty325 😂
@@mcscotty325 rEEE
I’d have to disagree with the whole BAR HOPPER category, I was told the same thing about my Indian scout and let me tell u with a small tank I traveled a lot more on my Indian then I did with my Electra glide . I don’t mind stopping every 100 miles for a quick fill up gives me time stretch my feet grab a drink of water lol I’ve met people who traveled on sportsters with the peanut tanks it’s just about making stops for gas
Absolutely agree. You CAN travel long distances on a Streetbob or any other small bike. You can go to Alaska on a scooter. It’s just whether or not it’s the best bike for the job. In this case (in my opinion) I don’t think it’s the best bike for the job.
🤘
Facts
Agree. First time across country was on a 1200 sportster and that was before cellphones. The rider expectations have changed significantly. I traded my 2020 Road King in a 2022 Street Bob and I ride it daily and would have no issues going 300 miles daily on a trip. Stop to fuel every 125-150 miles and relax. It’s the ride that matters. Don’t need a radio or speaker just th road and on the street Bob you can almost reach down and touch it. Some people just waste good iron.
@@antoniobrowning1385 same I traded in my 2010 Electra glide for the 2022 street bob. People tend to think these bikes can’t do cross country rides. It’s not about ow big my tank is the part about riding is the adventure so a few extra stops for gas is nothing to me in my eyes it’s just part of riding
Killer golden doodle...🤣 I needed a good laugh ...Good video man.. Always liked the Bob's ..Love my FXLRS too tho..
I do it for the lol’s
I like that you mentioned about the plug or patch the tire on a MAG wheel I had to do that on my Victory Vision many years ago. Had I had a tube I would have been paying an expensive tow truck fee and then more than likely having my bike all scratched up by the tow truck driver.....
I keep a patch kit with me. You never know when it will happen!
I just drove 20 miles home on a flat
Nice video. Thinking pretty hard on this one, running an electra glide currently.
That’s a big change! Why the switch?
@@thehdguy378 space in the garage, easier to move around physically.
I have this bike so far I love it.bought for work and back.60 mile round trip daily.backcounrty roads East Texas.
Great bike! Where in East Texas?
Me too. I work at a Harley Davidson dealership in East Texas. I ride my new FXBBS out Monday morning. I'm in Tyler Texas.
Mid controls are for someone who plans to ride the motorcycle, forward controls are for sitting on the bike and driving it.
Couldn’t agree more.
Correct! Imagine if dirt bikes had forward controls. We'd all be crippled.
I’m not small or tall but forward are more comfy for long rides. Rode my 883 for 300+ miles in one day and my hips kept cramping bad lol.
@@Supremebean303 I have ridden a Wide Glide with stock forward controls, it was comfortable. I want to be able to stand on the pegs for bumps, RR tracks or whatever. I’ve always had mids.
@@mtnman3MTA3 feels. Just got a new bike and still mids but slightly more forward. Really comfy.
?? Been all over central/ east coast to Texas on my old 94 FXDL. No windshield, just saddlebags. I pick up my FXBBS tomorrow. I plan to beat it up like my old lowrider which I still have.
Over 100K miles and still runs.
What ever happened to just buying a motorcycle because you think it’s cool? This is a cool motorcycle.
If you listen closely, I say that it’s a cool motorcycle. A few times.
Great bike, the gauge cluster. Can you actually see it if it's really sunny out? I've been looking at this bike very impressed by it.
Yes no problem
Of all my HD bikes including touring bikes and trikes I had the most fun on this bike including 100 mile trips.
I have my Goldwing for long hauls. I’m buying this for running to work daily.
Perfect combo!
Goldwing? Ha….GAY!
You got kicked out and was respectful about it. My kinda human being.
Another great video, Chad. I 'bout shit the bed with your commentary over the GoldenDoodle haha. So I've got the '21 in Baja Orange and, like you, love the looks of the spokes but want mags. I'm the original owner and have put almost 7500 miles on it. Most of the aftermarket mags I've found are ridonkulously expensive, and I'm wondering if I can have my dealership put the new H-D mags on it when it's time to get new tires (damn..that was a run-on sentence from Hell...sorry). I'd like to get those Annihilators put on, and would even consider doing the chrome ones that come on the Softail. Is that something H-D can do? Thanks again for the awesome reviews, man! 🤘✌
I’m sure you can put those wheels on your street bob. Call your local parts department. Admittedly im a moron when it comes to what’s parts fit what and how that stuff works. I think it would look good though!
@@thehdguy378 Thanks, man. I'll do that today. Have a great weekend!
Harley has the annihilators in the catalogue. They're 2-tone and look better than the ones on this bike.
@@mcscotty325 Thanks, man. I'm leaning that way, for sure. Really dig some of the Arlen Ness, but don't feel like spending that kind of coin on rims.
If your in ontario, I just bought a 22 street bob and I'm getting the spoke wheels put on. So I'll have the mags for sale when I pick up the bike.
Yes I'm like you spoke look cool I'd rather have mag... I have the 2018 Street Bob fxbb will these mags fit for my bike?
They should go on without any issues.
Which bike is better for the price?
Hi, can you do a review and road test on FLHXS, thanks
Absolutely! I’ll throw it in the queue!
I would like to know the back roads you are using looks like a lot of fun riding.
Are you local? DFW?
@TheHDguy Yes sir I bought my Roadking from yall.
@@MechanicalMind83 awesome! This is up towards Westlake. It’s not a long road. But it’s fun! Dove Road.
What mic are you using?
Either the Fastback Blue or the 2021 Deadwood Green with mags for me...
Deadwood with mags would be epic
@@thehdguy378 yep just put em on looks great on deadwood green
What are mags?
@@speaktruth247they are the “rims” you see on it.
Nice 0-60 time!
Great camera work! F U killer Golden doodle!! Hilarious man
Lol that golden doodle was wild
I don't know if I seen it. But can I get ABS from the factory? I've been told on prior year FXBB. they wouldn't order from the factory with it. I think dealer was being lazy. Your thoughts?
It is an option but you won’t see many of them. Speculation is microchip issues are causing problems with ABS and RDRS. ABS is now an option on touring bikes, where it was always standard before.
Gonna order one from Matt Laidlaw. Speaking of the FXLRS, have you ever seen one with FXBBS bars on it? Was curious. Was thinking of trying that look/feel.
I just picked up new 22 streetbob 2 weeks ago,$11,500
Would u recommend this to a 5’10 200lbs beginner rider？
Sure! That's about my size. I test rode one. Saturday. Only thing I might mention is if you are used to forward controls, or footboards you may feel a bit cramped. Test ride one.
If you need extreme comfort for long distance riding, just replace the stock seat and install a La-Z-Boy. You're welcome.
have to disagree with a couple things you’ve said, i just bought a 22 and absolutely HATE the mid controls. i’m 6’1 and coming from bikes with forwards they suck. and with the bars, usualy 14-16s are perfect for most people. anything above that is ridiculous.
That much I agree with. No long haul passenger runs. She gonna hate you. Apes too. Those 10s are not bad. The tall apes are cool to look at, but I hate riding with them.
Talk about riding like a princess lol, you need a wind shield or fairing for long distance, lol ok princess!
What year is your Streetbob?
Tires are not radial.
Okay you talk about being a princess about the mileage, saying you want to go further or just have more gas And then you complain about getting beat up by the wind on the interstate..... dude its a motorcycle!!! You sound like the Princess here! Oh and how many people have crossed this country or just made long ass trips with peanut tanks??? Exactly, tank size doesnt matter! Riding what you love and riding where you love is the point.............
I feel like I said this. Which Sportster do you have?
@@thehdguy378 had an iron 1200 for two years, put 25k on it. Longest trip was from NH to FL. Still have it for my son and im currently on a 2021 lowrider s.
The experts say the fxbb is no good for long trips .
I have traveled across the country on an fxe.
If you listen closely I said it’s not the best, but you can do it.
@@thehdguy378 I was not commenting about you hd . I was talking about the experts.
🤣🤣🤣 dogs doing what dogs do.
Tubeless yes. Radial, no.
Sexy bike😍
Spokes are annoying to clean
Yeah, who wants to actually hear the bike? We'd rather have that cheesy music.
Breaks suck
if you are going to play music at beginning of vid, at least get your levels correct. That music was so distorted, sounded like crap. Proper levels go a long way when making videos. But than there are some people who can't hear distortion in music, no matter how bad it is.. Are you that person?
I do not take advice from anyone riding a Victory.
@@thehdguy378 well, aren't you just a closed minded individual. Judging people by what they own. Pure ignorance.
If you are going to troll TH-cam ~ blow me💯🤣🖕🏽
@@Boobtube. Not taking advice from someone because they ride a different brand of bike? That's a tool, giving Harley a bad name.
