I have both a 2021 and a 2022.. I have the same zippers cam in both with slip on cobra pipes. Both bikes rip, both have about the same HP after a dyno tune.. the 117 has a bit more TQ, however, the 114 has a little more TQ before 3k. The 117 seems to come on at 3k and up. Both get up to 90hp very quickly... fast enough to get my license taken away and go to jail.
I came back and edited because all I had to do was ask the Chromebook what is a 128 on a Harley, however your video is invaluable for a good comparison because I like nostalgia touch also... 4:32 I'm not sure what you meant by 128 when talking about the 114 Cube in.... I'm on the curb to buy a 2021 lowrider S114 with low miles 7000 for $11,000. Sure I would scoop it up but right now trying to listen to everything I can before giving away my 103 cubic inch for such little money to the dealership and trade.
Hey Todd! Im saying that, in my opinion, instead of buying a Low Rider S with the 117'', I would buy an older, cheaper, 114'' Low Rider S and put the money into installing an S&S Big Bore kit which now are available up to 132''. You could get the 114'' for $11,000 and buy the S&S 132'' kit for around $3,000 and have essentially a Low Rider S 132'' for the same price or less than buying a used Low Rider S 117''. Plus the nostalgic tank mounted gauges look way better than the digital on the newer bikes.
It is better for sure, but in my opinion, only in power and suspension which you can achieve starting with a used 114” and for the same price as a new 117” upgrade the suspension and get a S&S 128” engine so then it’s 128” vs 117”
@@NateBeck only thought I’d have is maybe the 128 wouldn’t be as reliable as the stock sizes and Warranty if u cared about something like that. I personally got a 22 cos in my country every other low rider holds there value whether it’s 2018 or 22. Plan to just large cam it s&s 550 and leave stock displacement
Off the showroom floor yes but now you can get a 114 for so much less, use that extra money on an S&S Big Bore Kit and ride off on a 136 which is so much power haha
@NateBeck thats what I was thinking. I wrecked my sport bike so am trying to ride a bit more relaxed now. Plenty of better priced 114s available in my area

I like to say mine goes from zero to „why hello officer“ way to fast

That's an interesting thought.
I’m sorry but the 117 is better in every way. The 114’s still a kickass motor!
I will admit however, I hate the look of the air breather on the 117

Sounds like someone’s jealous they don’t have a 117 haha
@@fudawgable I don’t have a 114” either haha

I’m sure ya missus is telling the truth when she says size doesn’t matter, either. 😂
117 is better obviously but for the price 114 might be better

Hold the ears stiff 😏
Hahaha!
The 117 is literally better in every way 🤣. Stop saying this crap to be edgy lmao
What’s changed on the 117 other than motor size and suspension? Both of which you can upgrade on a 114 to beat the 117 for less money than a new 117
