- A first ride and review of the Harley Davidson Street Bob 114, this bike really is something else!
A classic American Harley Davidson with mini ape handle bars and Harleys new Milwaukee 8 114 engine, the Street Bob is a loud and fast cruiser for tearing up the streets. With its insanely loud Vance And Hines short shot exhausts. It is the loudest motorcycle I have ever ridden.
The Street Bob 114 is a Harley Davidson with American attitude and bags of character.
Just motovlog cruising through the country side on this motorcycle really is something else!
Cannot wait for the 2002 Street Bob.

Nice vid. I feel like out of all the stories brands Moto Guzzi and Harley Davidson are the least understood. They’re both visceral and emotional motorcycles that you can’t just form an opinion on in a day or even a week. I love them both!
I too so feel the same! Most has to do with the emotional laziness in people nowadays to decipher deeper than numbers!
Thanks 👍 I completely agree. You cannot review these sorts of motorcycles from a pure technical stand point, they are much more about the experience and feel. Cheers
That's so true. I am a recovering specsheet warrior 😁
@@einherjar2545 haha hang in there it gets easier 👍
Hey nice video. The recording of the exhaust sound was probably the best I've heard on UA-cam. Just really clear.
Hi, thanks so much I appreciate that 👍 Really to "hear" that it came through well on the video. Cheers
Great vid man, chilled vibes. Enjoyed it alot! Love the bobber - looks like a whole lot of fun.
Thanks 👌 thats great to hear, really glad you enjoyed the vid. It is an awesome motorbike, bags of character and plenty of go! Cheers
You,re a funny man , love your vlogs and your description of this harley had me in stitches , RIDONCIOUSLY funny !!! You British have a great way of describing things , well done !!!
Hi John, 😂 haha thanks glad you liked it!! We are a funny bread!! Cheers 🍻
I have one and it f**k nuts. lovely looking old school bike...its lots of fun
Haha 👍 Nice, awesome bike! I have always loved the looks of them. Got some power as well!! Enjoy 🤘
Excellent review
Its my first bike after years of not having a bike, and then only a CBR150, I tested it, liked it, bought it, but was not a good rider , i had not been on a bike for so long and this a totally different style and wieght took some getting used too and plenty of You tube videos, relearning counter balance, counter steering, trail braking, friction zone you name it i didn't remember it, 3500 miles later new hand grips a Saddleman seat, memphis shades gauntlet fairing , Stage 1 tune and V &H Mini Grenades in chrome, 70cm sissy bar, engine guards and
other bits i am loving it, the raw power is awesome. I have bought a new Ducati Monster and a couple of 125cc bikes for my wife and son so i use them too and the variety helps you learn more. Streetbob is the best bike out of everything i have owned or tested, HD have got this right except the seat it sucks.
👍 Great to hear that you have come back to biking again. Yes I can imagine the Street Bob feeling awkward to ride at first! Sounds like you have made it your own bike and are now loving it. I have always loved the look of the Street Bob, just such a cool design. Those exhausts where very loud haha almost too loud for me! Hope you continue to enjoy it. Cheers
Nice review dude ! Keep it up !
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍
Just bought one two weeks ago 👍🏻 Love it
😎 such a cool bike, I love them! Enjoy
Great review per usual. I use to own from New an 06 HD duce and never really enjoyed riding it. It was uncomfortable even with an aftermarket seat and burned oil constantly. I sold it after 2 years and had only manged 5000 miles on it in that time. I've put that much on my speedmaster in a little over a year because it's such a joy to ride. Here in Texas I see a lot of guys buying HD simply because of the "bad boy" image and not actually because they enjoy riding. Common phrase I hear is "$20,000 and 200 miles don't make you a biker" and that tends to revolve around 90% of HD owners lol
Thanks Keith 👍 It was a brilliant experience riding this bike! Really enjoyed it and just has bags of character. I did notice it was quite a hard ride, the Speedmaster is much more forgiving and relaxing.
I personally would not swap it for my Speedmaster, however I can definitely see the appeal. Haha good quote! I can imagine that being the case with Harleys, people spending a load of money and not riding it!! Cheers
Enjoyed that nice vid 👍
Thanks Jon, really pleased you liked the video.
If you want more brake, Arlen Ness makes a larger diameter rotor/caliper bracket kit that works quite well. the rotor center actually almost matches the wheel.
First time seeing your channel. I like enjoyed how you experienced the Harley for what it is. You got a new subscriber here. Keep up the good content.
Hi, many thanks I really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome to the channel 👍
I love my 2023 street bob, very comfortable and the balance is great
Such a cool bike 👌
Great job!! The Harley M8 really does better with a 2 into 1 exhaust. By no means does it make it a sport bike but it feeds off the back pressure. It also makes a much more middle ground sound. Not to loud not too quite
Hi, thanks I appreciate it 👍 O nice that sounds ideal, I actually really like the look of the 2 into 1 as well. Cheers, that makes sense and I think I would personally go for that option. The one I rode was a bit too loud to be honest haha
I bought myself a 2021 FatBob fitted Rinehart slip ons absolutely love the bike. I also own 3 other high powered bikes but love the FatBob most.
Hi Robert, there is just something about the Harleys that have their own appeal and character 👍 Maybe not dynamically the best bikes, but they win over the heart! Cheers
@@redangrevival agreed.
Well that's the dream bike i would love to have in future ♥️
👌 A great goal to aim for. It is such a cool motorcycle, and that 114 engine is a beauty!
I agree. Well either one of these or a guzzi v7 850 special.
Good review, I have a 107 Streetbob and your observations are spot on. That bike has the V&H slip on silencers, louder are available ! I am presently running with the stock system and it actually not that bad a sound. I did find the riding position a little cramped compared to my Triumph America 865cc, but I bought the Streetbob as I already had feet forward on the America, tilting the bars back a bit made it much better. I was also surprised that it handles the bends a lot better than I thought it would.
Thanks Stephen, glad you liked it 👌 Blimey I don't think I would want a bike any louder than it was haha!! I think the stock system might be the way to go 🤔Yes I did find it a little cramped as well, I personally prefer forward controls on a cruiser style bike. As you say, great handling and fun bike though 👍
@@redangrevival Harley does off the parts to convert to forward controls.
@@rc3291 👍 O great, yes I thought they might. Would be brilliant with forward pegs 👌
Bro you can lean these street bobs like sport bikes. If you know how to ride you’ll smoke dudes in canyons. I had a dude on a Yamaha mt07 trying to keep up with me coming down mount lemon in Tucson, when we got to the bottom he couldn’t believe how fast I was going thru the twisties.
@@chrisquas4113 Completely agree. My FXBB 107 handles surprisingly well and I love the motor, especially with V&H slip-ons, high-flow air cleaner and FP3 tune. I test rode a Triumph Speedmaster and found it gutless and bland in comparison.
Lol…you have me cracking up…very nice job!
Haha thanks!
Love your enthusiasm, Gus!
No big surprises, I guess. Harley = feels great, but unrefined.
All bikes are a compromise, I guess, but I've never been tempted to go 'that far' hehe.
Like you, Gus, I'm loving my Speedmaster. The perfect mix of classic ride, cruiser, tourer, relaxed but fun, naughty but refined, not quiet but not noisy. A gentleman's cruiser hehe.
You can't help but love Harleys in some ways, but, yeah. Full on. A bit much for many, including me.
I couldn't have put it better myself!! 👌
Are you still on for the DGR this weekend?
@@redangrevival Yup. Will be there (wherever 'there' is - we still don't know? Lol) early
@@Disposalist haha I know, they like to leave it late!! Great hopefully I will see you there 👍
Greetings from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey USA. The Vance and Hines you have are slip on mufflers, I have the short shot system on my 2022 114 Street Bob. Short Shots are louder and give you more power. I also have the Stage 2 upgrade. My dyno numbers are 105 hp and 116 ft pounds of torque. The difference is fantastic. Stock numbers are about 88 hp and about 105 torque. Good video! Thanks!
Hi, thanks so much really pleased you liked the video 👍 Blimey your bike must be loud! haha. Such a cool motorbike, nice I would definitely go for the stage 2 as well. A great power upgrade. Cheers
Got my 2020 fxbb 107 then a year later the 114 came out...... damn. The 107 still rips.
Haha!! I bet the 107 is a beauty! Could stage 2 it as well I guess 👍
I am looking to buy a cruiser. I just love the whole laidback experience they give. The Speedmaster and Street bob are my top two choices. But I hate the idea of cleaning and maintaining chain and spokes on Speedmaster.
Haha I know exactly what you mean!! I am not the biggest fan of chain maintenance either. However I must say you do get used to it eventually, just part of my routine now.
Have to love the cruisers, so relaxed and chilled out. I am biased of course, but I would say the Speedmaster is considerably more comfortable and probably better dynamically than the Street Bob.
Its not just about ability though, its how the bike makes you feel 👍 Good luck with your choice and enjoy the ride. 🤟
My next bike 100% currently saving up and going to px my xjr1300 hopefully I'll have it by Oct Nov 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hoping to pick mine up on Wednesday in Fastback Blue. Can’t wait!!!! Ride the Heritage Classic. Curious on that one.
Massive congratulations on your new bike 🥳 You will love it! Yes I have always really liked the Heritage, will try to book a ride in. Cheers
I have this exact same bike / color scheme and all (different mods). However, coming from a sport bike at 60.... this thing is a different kind of fun. It gets slammed as a bar hopper, but I do almost all tank plus rides. If I could build a bike, it would be this. I said I would have a bobber when I get old and here we are. It also slows me down a lot, which I needed. Allmost all of my rides are like 150-200 mile loops from home. One thing though.... I had the foam in the stock seat replaced with gel (a modification I would highly recommend). It gives you a nice seat without getting something larger and excessive. I put Tab Performance Zombie slip ons on it.... they're quite loud. I'm 6'1" and quite comfortable on it with mid controls (which I prefer anyway). I also put highway pegs on it as well. I'm not sure why people who stay local even get baggers... I wouldn't even call them motorcycles. Most of the people I know with baggers ride less than I do.
🤙 onwards and upwards! Certainly a different style of bike but no less fun. Great to hear you are enjoying it so much. That gel seat sounds like a great idea, I did find this one quite hard.
Over all I think these bikes are so cool and are the perfect styled Harley (I would like spoked wheels though).
May you continue to enjoy your riding for many more years to come 👍
Great review buddy 👍...yet another bike that I recently bought and kept less than a week! Way too cramped for me (I'm 6'4'') maybe forward controls would have helped but made the quick decision to cut my losses and bought the Scrambler,definitely the right decision for me 😊
Thanks 👍 Yup I completely understand that. I am 5'9 and I find my my Speedmaster more comfortable 👍 It sounds like the Scrambler is perfect for you!
@@redangrevival Not sure if you've ridden the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 but if you get the chance then definitely worth a go....that bike is SO underrated and is an AMAZING bike
@@2wheeledwillie395 I haven't yet. It has always interested me actually. I will add it to the list 👍 Thanks
@@redangrevival I really think it will surprise you on how good it is 👍
@@2wheeledwillie395 Thanks, I look forward to it!
The street Bob is a beautiful bike and still sounds great with stock exhausts. Like you said it's not really a tourer, it's more a get out and ride bike. Take it to a show and watch the admiring lookovers. I have heard you need to hang on when you accelerate if you don't want to end up sitting in the road 😂 Great to see you up on one but you need it for longer. Probably won't want to give it back!
Seen one with orange fenders and fully orange tank, lovely and a bit less intimidating. Fab review.
Thanks Lilly, glad you liked it 👍 Yup I have heard that the stock exhausts are pretty good as they are. The short shots where very loud!!
Yes you can definitely feel all that torque, really nice. I suppose it depends on what you have come from, it is not fast compared to sports bikes or powerful adventure bikes. However you can just ride the torque 😁
Would still take my Speedy over it!!
Stock exhaust is too quiet sounds like a sewing machine. All you hear is the engine running.
Hi Angus
Not a HD but I was at the MCN festival this weekend and sat on some Indian bikes. Most I found surprisingly uncomfortable, but the Dark Horse Bobber felt beautifully comfortable with a similar set up to this HD. Also 1800cc I think.
Den
Hi Den,
O nice, hope you had a good time at the festival 👍 I was going to go but something came up. I do love the look of the Indians, and that Dark Horse Bobber is stunning!! Thanks for that good to hear it is comfortable as well, I must try one out. Cheers
I agree that motorcycling is absolutely great for my mental health! Doesn't matter what the bike is, just getting out and riding. I have a 2016 Sportster Roadster and just traded my 2009 BMW R1200R after 14 years, for a Moto Guzzi v7 850 Special. I was riding the BMW way to fast, and at 75 years old needed to slow down a little.
👌 It is such a great form of therapy. It has done wonders for me. Great bike the V7, so characterful. Time to slow down and appreciate the character! Cheers
I have a 2020 Streetbob. I’m 6’2 and the first thing I had done (apart from Stage 1 with Rhinehart exhaust) was to install forward pegs.
The ride is totally different and I can keep my legs stretched out
That sounds like the exact mods I would do to mine if I owned one. Are the forward pegs comfortable?
@@redangrevival not only is it very comfortable, it helps me maneuver the heavy bike through tighter twists and, in the concrete jungle of Toronto, I can avoid morons driving cages doing stupid things while updating their instagram.
I also updated the seat to a saddlemen.
The only thing is potholes, sewer grates and streetcar tracks. That’s the trade off so I need to lift my ass slightly by using my arms on the bars rather than rely on my legs solely.
@@huntercallan1458 👌 Thanks thats good to know
I just bought one without even test riding it, it's so different to what I'm used to a test ride wouldn't tell me anything, I made them deliver it with an exhaust and tune. I will put a windscreen on it or small fairing to hide behind in the freeway otherwise it's quite good twisting the throttle aggressively is pretty fun
😎 Such cool bikes, I hope you love it. Great buy
Gorgeous looking motorcycle this would be my type of Harley ❤👍😍
Same I love it, the Ape handle bars really complete the look
All goes well ill have mine arounf the 8th of june fingers 🤞
👌
I miss my 2018 street Bob but my 2021 street glide special is my new baby.
Not a bad replacement! 😉
@@redangrevival thanks it has a very noticeable ride difference that's for sure. I had to get the snake venom green edition it was just too beautiful to pass up haha 😄
Another great video review…. I had the 2020 Harley fat bob with a stage one tune and Vance and Hines short shot grenade exhaust system a real monster…..check one out a real eye catching bike keep up the excellent reviews.
Hi Paul, may thanks really glad you liked the review 👍 O nice, yes I love the look of the Fat Bob. Sounds like you had it spec'd out very nicely as well! I do love the Harley's atm!!
@@redangrevival As lovely the fat bob was and yes very highly specked out didn’t use that much due to British weather…..traded it in for a BMW 1250gs which stayed in my garage for all of 3mths it was uncomfortable for me traded that for a Triumph Rocket 3GT that bike was a monster 👹 but had problems with it…..I took delivery of a Triumph Scrambler 1200xc a month up to now I’m enjoying the bike……as you can see I’m into motorcycles I tried the Speed master but it was to small for me….like the cruiser style of the bike.
@@paullines4074 Fair enough, it can be hard finding the right bike. So much harder than with cars!
You have had a nice selection there! I have heard that the Triumph Scrambler is very comfortable 👍
As an American it is always nice to hear those across the pond appreciate and understand what US cruisers (especially Harley Davidson) are about. Most sport bike riders just love to bash Harley as if they are still in the AMF era. I love the old school line but I am one of the newer Harley owners (26 YO) who is looking to also add one of the new Revolution equipped bikes to my garage (in due time). I just love the overall feel and presence of these bikes / the brand as a whole. Nice video, stay safe out there!
Hi, that is good to hear 👍 I can definitely appreciate the US cruisers, absolutely brilliant bikes and as you say the brands are great as well! It's not all just about speed and lap times. These bikes are characters of their own and its all about how it makes you feel. Hard to find more of an involving experience than riding a Harley Davidson with an exhaust like that 😂 Awesome bikes.
Cheers and same to you.
Very Interesting Mr Bond... Nice bike..Well it is Harley Davidson and it is American!
They are getting more and more popular over here.. I can remember a few years back when it was quite a sight and rarity to even see one on our roads.
Love your jovial commentary... "it's not me crying" made me laugh!
by the by.. had a lovely ride to Gillingham yesterday... don't know if you know it but there is a very interesting bike shop called Moto Corsa Motorcycles there with a bike park and wonderful cafe!
Good to see so many bikers young and old!
They appear to deal mainly in Royal Enfield and MV Augusta, though I did spot one Triumph.
The clothes department was very good also and I have now purchased my wet weather overalls!
Your comment the other day was so spot on... it's like being a kid again, or words to that effect or is affect?
Cheers Angus
Stride and Ride!
Hi, haha "Bond, James Bond"! Yes now you mention it I do see a lot on the roads now. I suppose when Harley made some major updates (in 2018?) to their bikes, they really improved the handling characteristics/suspension etc.. which must have appealed to the UK market more.
Haha thanks, yup i like to sort of go with the flow and keep it natural with my commentary!
No I haven't heard of it, I will check that out 👍 Not too far from me currently. 100% stay young at heart and enjoy the simple things ✌️ Cheers and all the best
@@redangrevival You definitely have a pleasing and knowledgeable way with words and your video's are most interesting!
On another note all the bikers I passed yesterday were all nodders I'm pleased to say, even the Harley one's..and apparently I read somewhere they don't usually...either that or I must look like a very daunting figure as I approach and they nod through fear! :-))
Cheers Angus
@@LionTheHeart Haha yes I am most sure it is the later, they are definitely scared! 😂
Thanks, that is good to hear. I always give a nod. Unless I am very tired at the end of a long ride!!
@@redangrevival Lol.. Absolutely! ;-))
"american" made with parts across the whole world
I bought one and it fits well. My only complaint is as a woman with small hands I’m having to change out the levers. That big heavy metal clutch kills me on a longer ride. Everything else is so freaking fun. It’s definitely torquey. I am having to get used to the weight as it’s a step up from my 2015 Superlow 1200T. Also lol @ “feel like going to start a fight”
👍 I know exactly what you mean about the heavy clutch! Shouldn't be too hard to change that out. I just love the style of these bikes, so cool. Haha with that exhaust note it makes you feel pretty naughty!
I own one of these. A 2022 model.
I had the same experience riding a friend's Rocket III.
Thanks for a great video.
👍 Such a brilliantly fun motorbike! Many thanks really glad you enjoyed the video.
I was glad to hear you talk about how motorcycles can impact mental health. I couldn't agree more, my motorbike is my therapy for sure. A day on the bike fixes me right up like few other things can.
And I agree about the exhaust! The stock exhaust is fine. I love the look of the Street Bob, though. Wish I could afford one for the occasional ride.
Thanks, really glad you could relate to the mental health point. Yup that is why I started this channel really, to promote the benefits that motorbikes have on our mental health 👍
Yes a few people have said that the standard exhaust is good as it is. Think I would stick with the stock exhaust. Cheers and all the best.
Get one it’s a fun bike
I would love one! It definitely is a fun one 😁
I was looking to get the Iron 883 as my first bike ever, but I think the street bob might take the cake for me.
Yup I would personally go for the Street Bob, however for a first bike I would consider the 107 engine!!
You should take a look at the sportster 48 I just bought one as my first bike it’s got a bit bigger of an engine and a very easy ride I’ve loved every second I’ve rode it
@@redangrevival I just discovered the Iron 1200 literally 10 minutes ago. seems like a great in between bike. I'm stay patient, do my test rides, and pick the best one for me.
@@samueljosephgarza Good idea, or the Harley Standard Custom. This can be restricted if needed 👍
The 114 on such a light frame can be dangerous, if you can shoot for it get a 1200 or an older dyna
You would do well with the Heritage Classic for touring.
👍 Have always loved the look of the Heritage Classic, must get a ride on one some time.
Waiting for a 2 Brothers pipe for mine.
Yeah, the new M8 engine is a better engine than the previous Twincam engine.
Thats gonna sounds sweet 😁
I worked for a newspaper for 17 years. 6 deadlines every night, arguing with ad people and editors. When I got off work and rolled by the executive editor's Mercedes and set off his car alarm.....Ahhhh.... Nirvana!!!
😂😂 awesome!!
I have 22 Honda rebel dct 1100,just under $10,000,I picked 22 new Harley street Bob 114,fastback blue,great dea $l 11,500
I’m toying between one of these or an Indian bobber. But really dislike the rear fender on the street Bob and can’t find many solutions to change it out, if I was to buy one
There must be some after market options to change the rear fender!
I have the same mufflers on my Low Rider S 114, but I put the quiet baffles in and it makes a big difference, now it's really nice to cruise around, I think your experience with this bike has been tainted by this exhaust because it's a really cool bike...
Yes I think the exhaust was a bit too much for me! Sounds like the mufflers help with that 👍
Thanks, enjoyed that review, it’s one of the HD bikes I would consider getting, that’s if I swing my leg over a bike again after having my HD written off by a white van man…grrrr.
Q - those seats do look thin, particularly compared with your Streetmaster, was it similar or a lot more uncomfortable?
Thanks, really glad you liked the review 👍 So sorry to hear that, hope you are ok! I would say the seat is fairly similar to the Speedmaster actually. The suspension on the Street Bob is surprisingly hard compared to the Speedmaster. I would also want to bring the handle bars back towards me an inch or two (was a bit strechted). Awesome bike though 👌
So, would you recommend the Street Bob or the Sport Glide, which one would you choose?
Really depends on what you want it for! If you want to tour, go for the Sport Glide. Just shorter rides, go for the Street Bob.
I had the Sportster Iron 1200 with Stage one. Good sound but so loud after a couple of hours, tinnitus was kicking in and I wouldn't enjoy the ride unless I got my earplugs right down into the ear canal. I got fed up with it and sold it on. I now have the Speedmaster. The Harley was like riding a machine gun. Not for me I am afraid. Fun ride though.
I know exactly what you mean. I love a loud bike, but there is a point where it becomes too much!
How did you find the breaks?
Adequate, but not strong!
I think Brembo makes the brakes for Harley Davidson.
No "Potatos" on the newer EFI Harleys.
Understood, it still felt like it a little bit to me. However yes the EFI has mainly gotten rid of this!
Here's the difference between a Harley and a Triumph here in the States - you can be anywhere in the country and not be far from a mechanic who's certified and willing to wrench on a Harley and they'll work on any year and any model of Harley. Triumph? You're going to have a much harder time finding a mechanic, which may not be good if you're on a trip, and if you do manage to find one they're likely to not be willing to work on your bike if it's over 10 years old and isn't "vintage." That's a not-talked-about-much secret as to why Harleys are so popular here in the States, that and because of that Harleys hang on to their resale value really well.
That is a very good point, and can understand how useful that would be, nearly every garage would know how to fix a Harley 👍 However on a Triumph you are much less likely to need a garage in the first place 😉
Loud pipes save lives
🤙
Yo!! HAHA, cool! Welcome to American biking!! Lol!
Haha thanks Michael, I am pleased to experience it 🤟
After seing this video i think how happy my Royal Enfield Classic 500 makes me feel for so much less money. In fact , only since 2018, after 50 years riding all types of bikes, i woke for Harley models and sometimes i feel I would like to be seduced for some of the Softails. However the basic rationality tells me I don't need such a weight; I dont need to feel cramped and , I don't need an air filter case touching my right leg; I don´t need to spend in expensive acessoiries to make the bike fitting me; I don't need to spend so much in maintenance. Is there any discreet Harley?. A so intense and exclusive sensorial experience is it absolutely necessary to achieve a biker carreer? No. It´s a big price/ kg. and it is not proportional to the intensity of the delivered pleasure. Overdimension is not an advantage in any sense. That's why I prefer owning two bikes simultaneously. The second one is a 2003 Moto Guzzi Breva 750. ( I feel perfect in a Speedmaster)
You make a very valid point, they are very expensive and bang for buck there are better bikes out there for sure. I must say I did very much enjoy it!! Brands like Royal Enfield and Moto Guzzi are just full of character as well, each have there own soul!
I feel like the Speedmaster is one of the most comfortable bikes available 👍
I think this bike is fitted with big shots not short shots.
Yes may well be! I am not too uptight date on the After market Harley exhausts.
All I can say is that they are very loud! Haha
No! They are just slip on mufflers.
I hear it feals slow put in a 475 ss can may help alot 🤔
👌
Yes I think as much as 20 to 25 more hp with the 475 cam s&s the best
Short shots rob the bike of low end torque.
That is a shame!
@@redangrevival Short shots on my street bob has over 90 ft lbs of torque at 1500 rpms and keeps going to 116 ft lbs . That is plenty of low end torque.
@@alexanderdinkel4513 👌 thanks that is good to hear!
I love Triumphs and pretty much all their bikes are brilliant rides but jumping on a Harley... Well, lets just say, do it once for a day and the the infection never really goes away... You'll be either subconsciously or consciously manifesting ways of fitting one in your garage or making plenty of room for one ... 😉. There's a reason why just about all professional or ex-professional motorcycle racers end up using these soulful things as their road bikes. Incidentally a well ridden Harley is as quick point to point on a public road as any whizzbangery and a whole lot more fun in-between.
👌 Well said sir!! Yes there is definitely a certain charm about the Harleys, that you cannot get from any other bike. I will definitely own one one day I'm sure!
It is a childhood dream of mine to ride across America on a Harley 😁
@@redangrevival Manifest that dream and you'll make it reality RA 🤔😊👍
@@nikitis13 I like the sound of that 🙌 Thanks
I hired one off these for a day in Hawaii, I had a blast.... you felt there was a 'beast' waiting to be unleashed in the throttle when you trundled along at low speeds, it always just wanted to go! Only negative I found was the clutch felt a bit heavy in start stop traffic in town. ua-cam.com/video/rGeRkH1CF80/v-deo.html
They are such cool bikes 👍 Yes most Harley's are like that with the clutch, not ideal for in traffic, but very characterful
Harley Davidson. World's fastest tractor. Making boys outta men since 1903.
Haha controversial !
Harley. Not made with American parts. Designed for short people and overpriced.
I think you find some pretty large people on Harleys!
crap
