Tallahassee Florida I'm 70 years old on my new Street Bob and it's awesome wow what a motorcycle how lucky we are to be a part of this marvelous creation thanks everybody and be careful she's mean thanks
Matt, I'm from NJ and yesterday I went to a Harley dealer in NY looking for gear. As I'm walking around I noticed on the floor of their dealership one of your test ride and review videos was playing. An employee and I both agreed your videos are awesome, very informative, and high quality. It's pretty cool that other dealers around the country trust your knowledge and expertise. Keep up the good work, the east coast is watching!
Good job on the video Nick. I would suggest more CGI on your next video & more cowbell in the music. Explosions, aliens, motorcycle jumps, etc. Seriously, good job, kudos.
A 2018 streetbob FXBB is my first bike and I can honestly say I am happy with it I've had it for 2 years and i love every minute of it when I'm on the road.
Absolutely love this bike first Harley I’ve bought. Use to ride and had about a 6 year drought. Hopped right on it during test rides and loved it. I did a stage 1 and it’s great to rip on and take for a long ride. Looking at cam later next year.
I'm new to riding and just bought this streetbob 2020 as my 1st bike last week and i love it!!🖤 I Feel very comfortable and confident on it. Been looking for reviews on it and Havnt yet to hear nothing really negative about my bike.👌 Thanks for reviewing it!
Priscilla Did You Go Thru a MSF Course ?i Have To Wait until Covid-19 is Over and Will Attend The Harley Rider Academy Then Buy a Street Bob Also.....How Tall Are You ? Thanks and Be Safe.
@@chaltaloma Hey ! So I hope your ready because its a novel lol I can only tell you what worked out for me ,You will hear a lot of advice and opinion like dont buy a new bike for your 1st one or start off with a sportster or smaller bike which is true and I can see why people say that but in my case it was a little different. I did the Harley course and within that month bought my bike. The week of buying it before bringing it home I intentionally did take a MSF course .It was a slow rider course (I think that's the name) .I wanted to get use to being on my bike and feel comfortable before getting on the street because I was a new rider. It worked out because practicing that day for a few hours I wasnt a pro but comfortable enough to ride on the street after. Now it's a different story I ride all the time. I can honestly say with more pratice comes the full comfortability and fun. Everyone does things differently. I did what I knew was best for me and what I was ok with. Different people have different opinions like they didnt recommend me to get a softail as a 1st bike but I heard people outgrow sportster fast and i didnt want to get myself in a financial commitment for a couple years on a bike that I would outgrow in few months so that's why I did that. Ideally you might want to buy a used one off someone but I didnt have money saved like that and I was really eager to learn fast and didnt want to wait and save so I bought the street Bob 2020 and just do payments on it.I dont regret It just pushed myself to pratice a lot and had to understand because I'm a newer rider I might bang up my bike and I had to be ok with it 😂.It's doing great only dropped it once and it was in that class and nothing crazy happened I put the crash bars on it so helped. I loooove my bike I always tell people it has been one of the best things I've ever bought. I'm 5"3 by the way. Haha Hoped it helped.
@@priscillaherrera1657 Thanks For Your Quick Response and Yes You are Right Everybody is Different and Some People Learn Quicker....I Have Been Around Bikes All My Life But Never Owned One But Do Have a Tiny Bit of Experience Many Years Ago(am in my 40s) Have Been Following Matt Laidlaw and a Few Other Experts on UA-cam For Good info.....BTW One of My Favorite Guys is Jerry Pallodino-Ride Like a Pro(is a Retired Motor Cop and Has a Great School in Florida) i Live in Southern California and Besides Harley Rider Academy Their are a Couple of Good Advanced Schools From What i Hear.....i am 5"11 and Long Legs So 883 and 48 and 1200 are Nice Bikes But Too Small For Me So i am Looking at Street Bob and The New Softail Standard and Love The SLIM...Thanks Again and Hope Your Doing Well With These Crazy Times and at Least There is Light Traffic and Good Gas Prices LOL
@@priscillaherrera1657 Heeey, just wanted to say I think you're awesome and CONGRATS for going with the streetbob as a first bike!! It's what I feel like doing too for a first bike but everything I read online says to get a smaller bike, you're gonna drop it blah blah..I just dont wanna waste money on something I'd want to trade in a couple months. It's great to hear a success story like yours. I can only imagine how happy you are with the bike!! 😁 Feel free to tell me ALL about it. Pro's and cons etc. I like learning as much as I can about them. Have a blast and Ride Safe always!!
I'm not a beginner by any stretch of the imagination. I rode(still ride) Triumphs, (real triumphs) for a long time, 40 Knuck chopper for a few years, got a 94 FXDL in November 93, rode it for over 100k miles, still have it still runs. I bought a 2022 FXBBS in October. Absolutely love the bike!
My first Street bike was the 2019 Street Bob , I put a stage 1 with the Screaming Eagle heavy breather and Vance & Hines short shots , it was awesome , it really gave me the excitement I was looking for in riding a Harley , the down side of the bike was the wimpish foot brake , the 3.5 gallon tank and the seat which was the worst feeling of all , I've sold it since and went with the FLHT all in 5 months and I can't believe how much I know that it was the best move I could have made , i love my FLHT and I'm not looking back and regretting the change . The street Bob is a great entry riding bike but not something I would recommend as a long time keeper .
I traded in my triumph t120 for a 2020 FXBB. First off this bike is amazing, I love it. Second I really feel like that being as light as the Street Bob that 107 rips more than people like me expect. I also agree budget for bike this is the bike but it's also just a badass step into the big twin market.
Great job Nick !!! ... you and Matt working together really works. You guys really know how to Educate on harley and plenty on the motorcycle culture... looking forward for future videos...
Great New Video Matt i Really Like When You 3 Guys Give Your Own Pros and Cons To Each Bike(and You Guys Are Different Sizes) That Really Helps......Good Job Nick !! Love The Street Bob Thats My Next Bike.
Bought a 2018 heritage even though I was torn between that and the road king, best decision I have made since I can’t remember when! Love the bike and on longer rides it’s fantastic. Around town here in Portland it’s like riding my bicycle, handles like a dream.
I believe Harley Davidson did a great job on the new frame. What a fun bike to own. Really liked the billiard blue, and the sage green is a close 2nd. 🖒
You guys are my goto for review of H-D bikes. You sold me on my Softail Slim and my wife on the Deluxe... this particular video is what I am sending to my friend for considering this bobber as his moto.
Excellent Video,, Awesome street Bob..It's very Appealing as is the Low rider S. % 100. The Street Bob needs mag wheels and possibly forwards ..Speaking as a 2018 stage 1 Roadster owner , part from my 2019 Naked 750 Sport.
Another great vid from Laidlaw! I'm sure the new softail lineup is a better bike in nearly every way than the dynas, however I'm still not ready to give mine up!
One thing I will say about the streetbob that I like about it more than the standard lowrider is that it always comes in all the cooler colors same with the slim
Looking to buy my first HD. I Was thinking about the iron head 883, but after a trip to the dealership I realized the street Bob was for me! Can’t wait to get one soon!
Good job Nick!!! Yeah, anyone looking at buying the Sportster go buy the Street Bob!!! Some are calling it the King Sportster. I agree a different seat like the H-D Sundowner seat. I don't know why more people in California don't ride motorcycles you would have less traffic jams. I alway agree every Harley-Davidson own should own a Street Bob for a second bike. I'm not getting paid just my opinion. Life is short go buy the fu
Hey I just picked up a 2020 street bob here in AZ and reason being is the flagship store wasn't trying to give the satellite store the Softail standard sale. But I lucked out and got the 2020 street bob for the standard price! Oh yeah points for me. as appealing as the low rider s is/was I've never been the gt or lx version of a buyer. My commute car is a base model Honda fit hahaha my primary bike before this purchase is a 03 883r with an s&s 1200 Hooligan kit. I like to build my stuff up because my brain keeps whispering my mantra "stock sucks" and yes adding more money to an already pricey low rider s is not a dream come true, pouring hard earned cash into a bike I can call mine is. Great video guys. See you on IG Matt!
Been trying to choose between an iron 1200 and a Street Bob - this videos has just sold me the Street Bob! Great information and review to someone who have never ridden a cruiser or Harley. Now I just need to decide if I should get it this year or next, winter is coming... :D looks badass with a front fairing!
Bro ,,what's the Downside..I got a Beautiful stage 1 2018 1200 Roadster,,But had the Low rider S been out and money was no objective it'd be a done Deal..
I agree about the seat. Too low. Would be so much better with a taller, flatter seat like what's on the Fat Bob. Guess it really doesn't matter. My Road King fits me like a glove. And it's so comfy, I just wanna go and go. Glad I went with it over one with a smaller tank as I just don't feel the urge to stop. Maybe I'll do an Iron Butt this year...
I went to buy a Street bob ended up walking out with a Sport glide, to me that was the bike that was worth the money in Harley's mid priced range, it has everything you need and want on it, well apart from the sissy bar and rack, which would have been nice.
@@3percentmick705 to be honest when I was looking to buy a new Harley I was looking to buy hard saddle bags and a bat wing as well, the salesman said he could get all those things on the street bob for me, but also brought me over to the Sport glide and said, this has got it all on there already, so I went for the sport glide, which I am glad I did, to be fair I didn't feel comfortable on the street bob either, I am 5'4" and I felt cramped up on the street bob, I also didn't like the idiot lights and speedo, just didn't look right in my opinion, but the Street bob is a great buy if you strapped for cash or just want a big Harley but not for big Harley money.
Loved the video. Well done! Never miss one. The M8 sounds better and better with more aftermarket parts coming into the market, and more customized bikes turning up.
My first bike was and still is an 06 Street glide. Love that bike, but lately I've been looking at the street bob . I really like that blacked out look.
I like these reviews as much as i like the Mandalorian series, witch I love. Still leaning more to the Lowrider S thow. Looking forward to see the Lowrider S all styled out by different owners and taste.
im from the uk and ive had mine for 3 years now and its a great tool and it handles the bends and narrow roads in the uk great im 66 now and road scince i was 8 and had road bikes at 16 and its so much better than than the other harleys ive owned i could have had any of the harleys and test road most of them ive made changes new seat a must diffrent bars stage one and pipes witch was a waste of money because there is some kind of limiter built in witch stops it going past 120 122 it just gave a bit better pull but i love it its a big step up for harley much better than my old dyna
Looking at buying this same bike. Just can’t pull the trigger. Middle of winter where I live and can’t do a proper test ride till spring. This video is really helping 👍 thanks
As a owner of a Dyna Street Bob with a screaming eagle 110 you're dead on about the heat especially in the summer but here in Milwaukee summer lasts for only a month then its back to winter lol (crying on the inside)
I just spent some time at my local HD dealer and had the chance and privilege of sitting on the street bob as well as the iron 883 and 1200. I'm a very interested new rider or soon to be And I'm torn between the price points of all 3. Im going to be scheduling the msf course in lue of purchasing my first bike. The look and feel of the street bob as compared to the other 2 is such a far cry. I love the classic minimalist look and feel of the SB.
Hello team. Your review videos seem to get better and better. Really like this. The way it is filmed, edited. Your owns views of each bike. The location. What I also like is the time you shoot the vidoes most of the time. Just before and during sunset. I still rewind to your older videos quite a lot, but the new videos are great. I am looking forward to each new video and review. The bike? Nice looking bike. Had a test ride on a 2016 or 17. Could have decided for a 2019 Street Bob if I hadn't ridden the Fat Boy.
I bought my 2019 Street Bob back in June. I wish I would have waited for the Low Rider S. Having that extra 2 gallons in the gas tank is such a game changer. I put the Stage 2 torque kit on it and I’m just guzzling gas on this thing. Maybe 110 miles per tank lol.
would this be a good bike for someone new to riding? Ive been considering learning to ride and getting my first bike and this bike is the favorite so far.
I'd neither pick a cruiser or a Supersport bike as first bike. Naked bikes handle best, better n easier than both. Cruisers are heavy. Sucks if you drop it. A naked bike just Work. You can corner fast and see if you like that you can also relax n cruise a little. Aaaaaaand. A Harley is super expensive. If you end up dropping it and not liking cruisers you wasted alot of money. Id get something below 5000 used.
I have always been a Street Bob fan. The new one rides and handles even better for obvious reasons. The only disappointment is the instrument display and the absence of convenient preload adjuster which is there on all other softails. Being minimalist should not mean you do away with the essentials
Sharp presentation with a unique perspective!!! The smart move is to save 3k to 5k and then go bike shopping! Lower payment per month and you have tax and tag money paid for ! Don’t forget to have at least $500 to $1000 for insurance and helmet!!! Make America Great Again! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bought one today, but it is still riding the ocean so i have to wait another 4 weeks to get it. Love HD, The US and Germany should be friends again and work together ride on people.
Just picked one up 3 weeks ago. Love the speedo. Not really any different than my Trail Tech Voyager on my KTM 450EXC. Didn't even get out of the dealership and I was used to it. Other than the seat sucks, I love it.
Waiting for the 2021 HD custom "Sportster?" model . Looks like it has the pan America engine . There is a big convention in Germany next week . Heard HD will show a new custom model .
Never liked the twincam engine. I watched it's progress since it started. I worked for a dealership for 18 years and got to see the things it went through. The older Soft tail bikes were an interesting novelty to me, never wanted one. Harley Davidson really got it right with the new soft tail line. Love mine.
Man, I usually love laidlaw's flicks but honestly it feels like a sales pitch for the softail line up. I love my FXBB but no mention of the running change on the oil pumps for the m8's. Shame we didn't get the 5 gallon take that HD had on the out going dyna.
Great video! I bought my 2018 red denim Street Bob last year after going back and forth between it and the Low Rider. I liked aspects of each model- but the Steet Bob won out mostly because I didn't want to deal with the chrome. I certainly would have bought a Low Rider S were it available then. I like my Street Bob though and it was the perfect canvas to turn into the bike I wanted for riding here in San Diego.With the 124", an RWD longer rear shock- combind with the fairing and LD San Diego t-bars- it's pretty perfect. The only things I wish i had was the larger tank and mag wheels from the Low Rider S.
I'm a skinny man with no motorcycle experience, I am looking for something I'll be able to drive out of town ride long country roads. And go around the city but I'm also a college student so of course I'm low on the budget so I want to save money for me to make the ride last. I think this bike is perfect for me because I'm tired of having two cars might as well keep one car for family/friend trips and for important or get ride away for awhile reasons I think the bike would best benefit although I like speed.
I'd like to see how it does with the Stage IV kit in it. I haven't owned a bike in a while, and I am looking at the Street Bob to get back into it, as it is a good all around bike, and that's what I want. I will also probably turn it into a true bobber. Thanks for the review. This is probably one of the best I've seen as I put in the research to insure this is the bike I want. I also have come to the conclusion I will end collecting bikes.
I rode a 2018 street bob back to back with a 2017. I'm sorry but the 2018 felt like a Suzuki. handlebars and tank feel low and the back brake didnt seem to do anything. bought the 2017 with 329 miles on the odometer. over 5k miles and dont regret it a bit.
Pretty awesome and professional review ! I wonder if you’ d care to put a comparison with the 2020 Indian scout bobber twenty. Both beautiful and entry point bikes to the bobber mouvement. Great video again

Wow. This is a huge compliment. Thanks for sharing. It’s good to know my peers at other dealers value my content.
The folks in Mass. think your videos are are great, and a useful tool to learn about Harley Davidson's.
Francis Gerace thank you! That means a lot.
what dealer did u go to matt. im in new jersey. went to brains in langhorn pa. looking for a solid dealer to buy from
Now if HD Corporate could learn that
It’s going to be a Birthday present to myself🔥
Same here, i hope i'll get mine on time until 23rd march
Just got mine. Billard Red & Blk....
My treat for working hard and closing on our first new home. Upon closing I will be on my way.
TheAverageJohn Congratulations! Enjoy
Lol, I said the same thing last week.... now it’s in my garage.
I've got a 2018. Great bike. Big enough you can take a 5 day trip, small and light enough to split lanes in city.
Got new bars and fenders on mine take away from that ugly tank.
@@rb2112 yeah the 3.5 tank is a dealbreaker for me
Hey Guys, Big shout out to Nick Culver for filming, Narrating , and editing this video together. Let him know what you thought.
Matt Laidlaw awesome intro !!! I was like why does Matt look so good on this bike lol 😝
Matt Laidlaw as i said the editing is amazing and the review is perfect and super clean! Very informative!! Good job to you and Nick🔥🔥🔥
Good job on the video Nick. I would suggest more CGI on your next video & more cowbell in the music. Explosions, aliens, motorcycle jumps, etc. Seriously, good job, kudos.

Matt Laidlaw give Nick a raise!
Just bought a 2020 street bob with only 800 miles on it with a 1 year warranty. Love it! It is river rock in color.
A 2018 streetbob FXBB is my first bike and I can honestly say I am happy with it I've had it for 2 years and i love every minute of it when I'm on the road.
“It’s never insane unless you do something like a stage 3”.

I agree about the seat. Too low. Would be so much better with a taller, flatter seat like what's on the Fat Bob.
Guess it really doesn't matter. My Road King fits me like a glove. And it's so comfy, I just wanna go and go. Glad I went with it over one with a smaller tank as I just don't feel the urge to stop. Maybe I'll do an Iron Butt this year...
Got mine today and love it! Moved up from the 1200 Sportster Custom.
Congrats. Enjoy
I've always felt the street bob and the slim were the best bang for you buck softail.
I went to buy a Street bob ended up walking out with a Sport glide, to me that was the bike that was worth the money in Harley's mid priced range, it has everything you need and want on it, well apart from the sissy bar and rack, which would have been nice.
@@HarleyFirestorm to each your own for sure.
@@3percentmick705 to be honest when I was looking to buy a new Harley I was looking to buy hard saddle bags and a bat wing as well, the salesman said he could get all those things on the street bob for me, but also brought me over to the Sport glide and said, this has got it all on there already, so I went for the sport glide, which I am glad I did, to be fair I didn't feel comfortable on the street bob either, I am 5'4" and I felt cramped up on the street bob, I also didn't like the idiot lights and speedo, just didn't look right in my opinion, but the Street bob is a great buy if you strapped for cash or just want a big Harley but not for big Harley money.
@@HarleyFirestorm Yeah thats me. Big Harley for not Big Harley money. Works very much. All ootioned out that is one SEXY machine.
Great video, Nik. I have enjoyed it very much. Thank you for your very professional outlook.
Loved the video. Well done! Never miss one. The M8 sounds better and better with more aftermarket parts coming into the market, and more customized bikes turning up.
Great job Nick! Keep up the good work brother
Thanks brother I'll keep the camera rolling and the content flowing!
My first bike was and still is an 06 Street glide. Love that bike, but lately I've been looking at the street bob . I really like that blacked out look.
Love this bike... was going for an iron 1200 but i think im sold on the street bob, just gotta swap for mag wheels imo
I like these reviews as much as i like the Mandalorian series, witch I love. Still leaning more to the Lowrider S thow. Looking forward to see the Lowrider S all styled out by different owners and taste.
im from the uk and ive had mine for 3 years now and its a great tool and it handles the bends and narrow roads in the uk great im 66 now and road scince i was 8 and had road bikes at 16 and its so much better than than the other harleys ive owned i could have had any of the harleys and test road most of them ive made changes new seat a must diffrent bars stage one and pipes witch was a waste of money because there is some kind of limiter built in witch stops it going past 120 122 it just gave a bit better pull but i love it its a big step up for harley much better than my old dyna
That intro was amazing
Looking at buying this same bike. Just can’t pull the trigger. Middle of winter where I live and can’t do a proper test ride till spring. This video is really helping 👍 thanks
As a owner of a Dyna Street Bob with a screaming eagle 110 you're dead on about the heat especially in the summer but here in Milwaukee summer lasts for only a month then its back to winter lol (crying on the inside)
The cluster in the handlebars is awesome
How much bigger, are these compared too my 1200c sportster? like if I can handle the sportster can I handle this bike?
I just spent some time at my local HD dealer and had the chance and privilege of sitting on the street bob as well as the iron 883 and 1200. I'm a very interested new rider or soon to be And I'm torn between the price points of all 3. Im going to be scheduling the msf course in lue of purchasing my first bike. The look and feel of the street bob as compared to the other 2 is such a far cry. I love the classic minimalist look and feel of the SB.
I am 20 years old And I really want to buy it! Damn it!!!! I love it!
Now is a good time since they upped the engine size from 107 to 114 for 2021 model year
Hello team. Your review videos seem to get better and better. Really like this. The way it is filmed, edited. Your owns views of each bike. The location. What I also like is the time you shoot the vidoes most of the time. Just before and during sunset.
I still rewind to your older videos quite a lot, but the new videos are great. I am looking forward to each new video and review.
The bike? Nice looking bike. Had a test ride on a 2016 or 17. Could have decided for a 2019 Street Bob if I hadn't ridden the Fat Boy.
Thank you! Thanks for the feed back and for watching.
The exhaust note at 8:48, was that the grenades type ?
Once again a great video!
Good explanation Nick. Do more vids you're very good at this.
Thanks Edward, I'll try and keep at it!
I bought my 2019 Street Bob back in June. I wish I would have waited for the Low Rider S. Having that extra 2 gallons in the gas tank is such a game changer. I put the Stage 2 torque kit on it and I’m just guzzling gas on this thing. Maybe 110 miles per tank lol.
It's only an extra gallon and a half, but yeah, the extra ~60 miles is a big deal for those who ride a bunch.
Nick Culver Huge difference man! I could have a full tank and I’ll need to fill up before the V-Rods and Sportys lol.
would this be a good bike for someone new to riding? Ive been considering learning to ride and getting my first bike and this bike is the favorite so far.
I'd neither pick a cruiser or a Supersport bike as first bike. Naked bikes handle best, better n easier than both. Cruisers are heavy. Sucks if you drop it. A naked bike just Work. You can corner fast and see if you like that you can also relax n cruise a little. Aaaaaaand. A Harley is super expensive. If you end up dropping it and not liking cruisers you wasted alot of money. Id get something below 5000 used.
Nick these new softail handle better then any stock bagger ! Harley has to go to a mono schock bagger frame very soon!
I have always been a Street Bob fan. The new one rides and handles even better for obvious reasons. The only disappointment is the instrument display and the absence of convenient preload adjuster which is there on all other softails. Being minimalist should not mean you do away with the essentials
I love that spruce color wish the low rider s came in it
Sharp presentation with a unique perspective!!! The smart move is to save 3k to 5k and then go bike shopping! Lower payment per month and you have tax and tag money paid for ! Don’t forget to have at least $500 to $1000 for insurance and helmet!!! Make America Great Again! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Pay cash .... get a better rebate !! i never pay on the never ,never! make the world great again.
I have a '19 street bob amd the headlamp kicks major ass at night.
I love the reflector daymaker, worked great on my Lowrider
Signing on the dotted line Saturday for a new one with 7 whole miles.
Bought one today, but it is still riding the ocean so i have to wait another 4 weeks to get it.
Love HD, The US and Germany should be friends again and work together ride on people.
Just picked one up 3 weeks ago. Love the speedo. Not really any different than my Trail Tech Voyager on my KTM 450EXC. Didn't even get out of the dealership and I was used to it. Other than the seat sucks, I love it.
It's no dyna but she'll do! 😉
Waiting for the 2021 HD custom "Sportster?" model . Looks like it has the pan America engine . There is a big convention in Germany next week . Heard HD will show a new custom model .
Yea it’s coming soon with the revolution max engine. Probably 2022 model year
@@MattLaidlaw Hope so ! Would be major move for HD . Love what's going on with the "cruiser" brands and BMW is a new competitor too .
Never liked the twincam engine. I watched it's progress since it started. I worked for a dealership for 18 years and got to see the things it went through. The older Soft tail bikes were an interesting novelty to me, never wanted one. Harley Davidson really got it right with the new soft tail line.
Love mine.
I love my 2020 , Traded in my Road glide. just don't do long trips any more.
I would like to see a 2020 heritage softail review matt...;-)
I'll make that Happen
Agree, Heritage and Road King Special please :D
Thank you matt...love your videos
I love my iron 1200. If something happened to it and I couldn't get a deal on a roadster I would scoop up a new street bob.
Is it possible to change rear wheel to more wider such as 180 like low rider s?
Great review. Did I hear right those spoke wheels wear tubeless tyres and is it the same on the Softail Slim?
Yep, they are tubeless on all the new softails!
You guys are awesome! I love my 2018 street bob
*Matt notices Indian bobber*
"Ok..calm down, don't pull the throttle too much"
5 seconds later 😂
You noticed that? HAHA.
@@MattLaidlaw yes bro ha ha 😁, love your content
Hi Matt, can you share the link to the fairing from this clip. I am looking on Memphis fairings but I can't find this one
Considering trading in my Iron 883 for one of these. How difficult are the mini apes to get used to? I’ve always had straight bars.
what i want is a bobber and the street bob is what im looking for. getting one soon
Man, I usually love laidlaw's flicks but honestly it feels like a sales pitch for the softail line up. I love my FXBB but no mention of the running change on the oil pumps for the m8's. Shame we didn't get the 5 gallon take that HD had on the out going dyna.
Great review. Have Nick demo more bikes. He is about the same height/size I am. Thanks.
I'll try to make sure we have a couple of different shots of different size folks in every vid!
I'm buying a softail standard for my son in a few weeks because of your videos
I think it‘s a masterpiece at this level.
Great video! I bought my 2018 red denim Street Bob last year after going back and forth between it and the Low Rider. I liked aspects of each model- but the Steet Bob won out mostly because I didn't want to deal with the chrome. I certainly would have bought a Low Rider S were it available then. I like my Street Bob though and it was the perfect canvas to turn into the bike I wanted for riding here in San Diego.With the 124", an RWD longer rear shock- combind with the fairing and LD San Diego t-bars- it's pretty perfect. The only things I wish i had was the larger tank and mag wheels from the Low Rider S.
Well done. Great production 👍
Thanks Kevin
I'm a skinny man with no motorcycle experience, I am looking for something I'll be able to drive out of town ride long country roads. And go around the city but I'm also a college student so of course I'm low on the budget so I want to save money for me to make the ride last. I think this bike is perfect for me because I'm tired of having two cars might as well keep one car for family/friend trips and for important or get ride away for awhile reasons I think the bike would best benefit although I like speed.
I'd like to see how it does with the Stage IV kit in it. I haven't owned a bike in a while, and I am looking at the Street Bob to get back into it, as it is a good all around bike, and that's what I want. I will also probably turn it into a true bobber. Thanks for the review. This is probably one of the best I've seen as I put in the research to insure this is the bike I want. I also have come to the conclusion I will end collecting bikes.
I rode a 2018 street bob back to back with a 2017. I'm sorry but the 2018 felt like a Suzuki. handlebars and tank feel low and the back brake didnt seem to do anything. bought the 2017 with 329 miles on the odometer. over 5k miles and dont regret it a bit.
Hey guys well done which lamp masks are that I need all the best too
Pretty awesome and professional review ! I wonder if you’ d care to put a comparison with the 2020 Indian scout bobber twenty. Both beautiful and entry point bikes to the bobber mouvement. Great video again
