HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET BOB 114 TECH TALK
Harley-Davidson say the Softail chassis offers the look of a classic hardtail frame, but is underpinned by modern suspension for a smooth ride and outstanding handling. A single coil-over shock located between the frame and swingarm is out of view below the seat.
The chassis design is optimised to reduce weight without sacrificing stiffness. The rigid-mounted Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine further stiffens the entire chassis and contributes to a platform that delivers strong acceleration and responsive handling and braking performance.
The Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine design with 45-degree cylinder angle maintains classic Harley-Davidson look-sound-feel. Because it is rigid mounted in the frame, the engine is equipped with dual counter-balancers to cancel primary vibration at idle for improved rider and passenger comfort.
Four-valve cylinder heads (two exhaust and two intake valves per head, eight total) promote airflow through the engine and contribute to power output, and dual spark plugs ensure more complete combustion to maximise power and efficiency. Advanced cylinder head design, dual knock sensors, and precision cooling allow a 10.0:1 compression ratio for strong torque output and acceleration, while a single camshaft helps reduce mechanical noise so a richer exhaust tone can predominate.
Harley say the Street Bob 114 model is a tough-looking bike that was intended to be ridden hard. The lightest-weight Softail model equipped with a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, the Street Bob 114 motorcycle is a quick-and-nimble ride with power to spare - 9 percent quicker 0-to-60 mph and 13 percent quicker 60-to-80 mph in fifth gear than the previous Street Bob model with Milwaukee-Eight 107 power.

Been riding for almost 44 years and the Street bob 114 is with out doubt the best bike I've ever ridden and Yes I own one.
Loved my very brief time on a 107 Softail Standard so much that I just bought a 2022 Street Bob 😍
Now that's a really good review video. Short and practical 😎
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Jeff.
Bought my street 114 this year. Got the Red version very pleased still getting used to it and bedding in tyres and brakes. Very different from my XJR1300 SP but needed a different riding position for my old man knees. Very happy so far. Great review 👍🏻
Thanks for the review, haven't seen an Australian review until found yours.
Should have mine by September.
My favourite bike reviewer wish I could get a new upload every other day.
Kinda thought I wanted a Harley for my first non lams bike but a k5 gixxer is literally 6grand and is still the fastest accelerating production bike to date “according to Wikipedia”.
Thanks Chip! Can't beat a K5 and they are quickly going up in value, just like the 1985, 1991, 1996, 2001 models. Grab one if you can. Jeff.
Great review man. Always been intrigued by HD so Appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Great no bullshit review.
Absolute excellent review, I enjoyed everything you said about this beast.
Good review Geoff....not a massive Harley fan but the Street Bob is a fun bike ....
How do you find this stacks up to the newer models in the softtail range today in 2024? Is it a keeper? Great vid mate.
Great review. Would you recommend this for a first Harley?
I have the 2021 Street Bob 114 stone washed. Great bike
mate great video. Just moved to Sydney, where are these roads you tested the bike on? Putty rd? cheers
Best review I" ve seen. 😊
Beautiful bike. I have the black 2020 Street bob and love the 107. I hope the 114 isn’t a huge upgrade over the 107?
9 extra pounds of torque.
A 2 inch lift at both ends 👌
Bellissimo video !!! Complimenti! Sto aspettando il mio street bob arriverà a Febbraio 🥰! Mi piace molto il tuo casco posso chiederti che marca è ? hai un link per favore? Grazie ! Ciao dall'Italia!
I'm not a Harley fan, however really enjoy your reviews!
Thanks mate much appreciated! Jeff.

Ludicrous handlebars. I like this type of engine which is why I love my MT-01. Good review.

Really enjoy your video's Geoff.
This is on my short list when I upgrade. Geoff can you do a review on the 2021 Indian Chief Dark Horse please. Cheers mate.
