- You're WRONG About the Harley Street Bob 114!! A lot of people say there are certain features that Harley Street Bob should have on it. But I disagree because that would completely change the design of the bike from a bobber to something else. I will run through the most common things that people say about the Street Bob and let you know what that's wrong!

I agree 100%.
It's refreshing to be able to buy a bike that's NOT loaded down with all the extras. Not everybody wants to pay for all that extra stuff. Some people act like "standard equipment" is thrown in for free. No dummies, that increases the price of the bike. Let the guys who want those extras buy the next model up.
Exactly agree 👍
Finally someone on YT that is speaking sense! I 100% agree with you. So many LRS videos on YT and comparing the SB saying it needs this and that. If they had the same specs it would be the same bike. I try not to watch Videos on the LRS anymore there is just so many. The SB is the better bike in looks and everything imo. 👍
Lrs blew up quick now everyone has one 🤷♂️
For good reasons. Can’t hate on it cos it’s not the street bob u picked ur steed

Just picked up my 2023 BOB.. and I LOVE IT... Well Said on all account!
You're gonna love it 👍
I love everything about my 2021 Street Bob in Deadwood Green. I have the laced chrome spokes. They give the bike that classic American cruiser vibe. I also added forward controls, an H-D solo seat, Cobra Neighbor Haters, LED bullet lights and mustache engine guards. She’s a real beauty!
Love that color and the spokes. That's actually the one I wanted
Absolutely nailed it with this. If I wanted a high performance cruiser I would’ve gotten the low rider s but I want a low slung bobber with comfort so I went with the street bob. The stupidest argument is the price one, “for what you’re paying it should have this this and this” well the low rider s is more expensive for a reason…
It is getting dang close in price to the lrs though
I agree in your viewpoint, Jawn. The bike is what it is. The factory makes different models for different tastes and requirements. It isnt a GSXR 1000; no NEED for inverted forks or massive brake power. The setup on the bike is fine.
Don't need a 6 gallon gas tank! I don't tour with a group of Gold Wings. (No offense to the GW). I LIKE the little gauge; speedo and fuel level.
Less things to break too.
The Street Bob had some paint and styling differences from on of my favorite bikes; the Softail Standard. I liked the bright finishes and gloss black paint. It is like the Street Bob just a cool bike to top off the tank and just ride.
It's your bike. It has to only satisfy one person. The owner. Ride safe.
For sure 🤟
Great video and I couldn't agree with you more! I hear some of the same things about my Breakout, and like you said these bikes have different purposes. Not everyone wants all that tech crap. Ride safe bro!
Exactly!
I just bought a 22 had 18. The 114 is so much smoother than the 107. This streetbob is the perfect bike for me. Harley hit this on the nose.
What color?
@@TheMotoJawn white
I bought a new 22’ Street Bob 114 last month,because it’s the lightest of the big twins. Excellent handling,better than my old 2007 Dyna Street Bob 96. Thank you for putting it out there. Think of it as the old Sportster 1200 replacement. Plenty power and no reason not travel, tour with it. There is a electronic cruise control from Harley Davidson.
That's awesome 👌
I traded in my ‘07 dyna also. Took this bike for a test ride and couldn’t resist.
Great video. I bought the street bob for the stripped down look and feel. If I go on a longer trip I slap a gas bottle to the sissy bar. Brakes work fine on the lighter bike. Handling is great.
I love everything about the bike except the tank capacity. A bigger tank takes nothing away from what it's all about but gives you a much more useable range. Will be my first mod.
Yeah i guess a bigger tank would still be bobberish
Suits me okay, gives me a reason to get off and stretch, since I am 72😊
It is not even the best looking tank. Kinda looks like it was an afterthought. Not sure if I would want the fatbob tanks with a tank mount clock look but the extra fuel capacity will become a must as more gas stations close.
I agree with you. The Street Bob was always meant to be a basic bike that you could build up. There are plenty of other Harleys that are optioned up.
You got that right
I agree with you 💯 I rode a street bob at last year's Harley test ride day. I loved the bobber 114. Smooth and powerful, felt lighter than my sportster.
It's pretty great 👍
Good video. You are spot on with the exception of the fuel tank. I had a 5 gallon tank on my 2016 Street Bob. Much nicer for daily commuting. A game change on the open road. Harley missed the mark there. Take care.
Yeah I guess the bigger tank would still work good with the style of this
I love everything about this bike. The Memphis shade makes this bike look and ride 10X better.
Agreed 👍
Think it's a very good take on the difference between the two, and very helpful with me deciding between the two!! But yes I think I'm leaning towards the low rider S because of the bigger engine, better ride and bigger tank. Happy to pay the difference. But I do think the streetbob looks slightly better
Definitely give them a test ride and see what you like best
Agreed, to me its the ultimate blank slate. Chop it up, build it up...whatever you do you make it yours.
Could always throw that stuff pm after too if you wanted
Picking up a billiard gray 2024 in two days, im pumped!
Thats awesome love that color
The point of this video starts at 06:22 for those of you screaming "get to the point" at your screen.
Surprised anyone stuck around that long 😂
@@TheMotoJawn LOL, so many thing about your video are good. It just takes a while to get to the point, plus I didn't have enough coffee today.
Anyway, nice to see a fellow Philly UA-camr and motorcycle rider!
I own this bike in black, best bike I have ever owned. My wife rides a low rider st, which is sweet af, but I still prefer my Bob.
Nice it's a good one
I have a 2019 Street Bob 107 and I love it! I am glad it doesn’t have all of those big bulky guages and I even took the front fender off!
One thing I learned about other riders that talk down on another bike that not comfortable to them. Most riders aren't in the best shape to enjoy these types of bikes they need the extras for comfort for them.
I’m debating this bike, as my first bike; I”m tall and need forwards controls, which is hard to find on the “other”bikes…its a bit more than i wanted to spend…still contemplating.
I would say try and find a cheaper used one. Maybe with forwards already installed
This was my first Harley and first bike since 2012. this bike is rowdy and is fun. I like the minimalist bobber approach, this is what pulled me in. The one thing I love as dumb as it is, is they put a USB port lmao. "This is the most HD bike that HD has ever come out with"
It's great 👍
That bike is perfect the way it is.
I agree. Set up exactly the way it's supposed to be for a bobber cruiser
Hi, I completely agree with you; I have a Street Bob 107 (FXBB) and I really like it, it's too powerful and safe for me and I also think it shouldn't be any different than it is.
I'm 66 years old and a Harley Bagger guy but I bought a 2023 Street Bob 114 in August 23 over here in South Korea where I live and work and I absolutely LOVE it! I got my first Harley in 75 on my 18th birthday and have been riding Harley's ever since. It was an AMF Harley Davidson Sportster 1000. I always wanted another Sportster but they are just too small for me at 6'2 and 230lbs. My other two bikes back in the US are a 2012 Harley Street Glide and a 2004 Big Dog custom (Bulldog Model). So I call my Street Bob my "Big Guy" Sportster. It has lots of power and torque too, so hold on if you jump on one and are used to riding older model Harley's.
Hopefully I'll have mine next Saturday 🤞
I have a 2019 Street Bob that I bought used. There are forward controls on it that I really like. The main thing that I hate is that cheap uncomfortable seat they put on it. That is my only big complaint on it.
Yeah the seat is terrible
I love my 2021 Street Bob but I’m trading it in on a 2023 Road King Special. I’ll miss the FXBBS for sure!
That's awesome. Love the rks
Love mine call it modern day fxr. It’s lite , handles killer, fast with a cam pipe good tune. Add bags 💼 and faring or shield. Pound miles.
Absolutely 💯 💯
I wouldn’t call the the Street Bob a muscle or performance cruiser. It’s more of a bobber/chopper hybrid. Stripped down,laidback, everything you need nothing you don’t cruiser. The Fat Bob is more of a muscle or performance cruiser minus the performance. A wolf in sheep’s clothing if you will. Your true Power cruisers are the Rocket 3, X Diavel, M109R, V-Max, V-Rod, FTR 1200 and the Sportster S.
Mini muscle cruiser
I took my 22 street bob 114 from Houston tx to Philadelphia pa a couple weeks ago threw a windshield the hogworkz hard bag conversion and a saddlemen step up took about 2 days and averaged 177 miles to a tank
Sounds like an awesome trip
@@TheMotoJawn was definitely surprised by by the fuel mileage
Love My 2022 streetbob, plenty of power for Interstate riding. I’m having mine cammed in a couple months. I love this BIKE!
What cam will you go with
@@TheMotoJawn I’m thinking Andrew 465b, any suggestions are always welcome
Okay, I know I'm a little late commenting on this post but I need to throw in my 2 cents worth here. I own the 2021 SB and I've thrown quite a few mods at it but that's what makes it mine and it still doesn't look like the LRS. My 114 was crap off the showroom floor and after we figured out what was wrong with it I ended up with a 122 ci. for less than 400 bucks out the door. The rear brakes on the SB suck and you can easily overpower the traction of the front tire with the single rotor setup. My solution was adding the Arlen Ness 6 piston differential bore caliper and bracket to the rear wheel. You can easily screw up with this setup but in combination with the single front rotor you now have reduced braking distance comparable to twin front rotors and it looks bad ass. Just my first hand opinion on this subject.
I heard it's hard to see the guage in the sunlight, not Shure about those little brake lights, have to change the uncomfortable seat, lower the shifter, put in a s&s 475 cam to give it some power and speed
Gauge does get tough to see in the sun
@@TheMotoJawn yes I heard the best cam to put in is a s&s 475 pumps the power and speed way up
Is the street bob 114 ok for a beginner that just finished the motorcycle safety training course?
It could be just making sure to ride responsibly and learn the skills. I'd still recommend something cheap and small first
I'd say in terms of size and weight, it could be a good starter fit. The 114 M8 engine is no joke though, and must be respected. I would not have ridden this if I was a beginner.
Has the only tech I care about available and that’s cruise control. The only reason I’m willing to put up with throttle by wire is cruise . Harley nailed it in that it doesn’t have distracting amounts of electronics just what you actually use 👍
Really all I need for me
@Barney Prince Don’t know about you but the drive by wire on my 2022 Heritage is spot on, meaning I don’t have to “put up with it”. I haven’t had any fueling glitches like some other drive by wire bikes.
@@brettdavis80 no I agree the fueling on mine is spot on too. Just the added complication that comes with it is what I meant.
I loved my Street Bob. I had it customized to travel. Loved it compliments galore on it. I had the Baja Orange
Did you get rid of it?
@@TheMotoJawn I now halve the low rider s 117
@@bigsimpd niiiiiiice 🔥🔥🔥
Yup, Thats not how manufacterers make money.They give features to meet price points to attract certain buyers. Like you and this bike. It suits you. Others jump down the Harley rabbit hole and start "upgrading". The one I can NEVER get is buying a brand new Harley and putting a engine kit on it and then having to get a tuner etc. etc. Nothing wrong with adding some personalization but better off making sure what you buy is what you want as you have pointed out.
Yeah gotta know what to expect with what you're getting
Well put. Agreed. I have one and I’m very happy with it. Got it for what is ..👍🏻
Exactly 💯
Agreed 💯
Good call on the upgrades makes it basically a Low Rider S. I am so torn between the 2 bikes. Just need to make a freakin decision.
Yeah I would say just depends on your style they're both great. The lrs with 117 is definitely worth it I would say. But if you like the street Bob look better. Go for it
Agree with lot of what you said but not all as part of owning a Harley is personalising into how you want it.
Definitely. I just mean from the factory.
Lookin good 👍
I like the SB, love the LRS. And I could care less about popularity, other than the online community there aren’t too many LRS riders in my area… although I see PLENTY of baggers!
Too many baggers out there lol
Dude, it’s your bike, do to it what makes you happy & stop listening to all the nonsense on the internet as it’s perfect the way it is. Street Bob is the best bang for the $ and the LRS is way too expensive imo. Enjoy your ride & stay safe!
Right on 🤟
My dream Harley would be the LRS with the new 121 motor and olive drab green paint job. That would be incredibly sick.
That would be awesome 👌
I live in UK I'm getting mine in 2 days time and you're 100%
I love my 2019 Street Bob. It's a sick bike. Don't see many of them on the road in the wicked red denim.
That was a good color 👌
How do u like the vent roadwarrior fairing
It's pretty good I think the vents help cut the wind more
You are absolutely correct. UA-cam needed this video
💯💯💯
I agree 100%. Not trolling and I promise I mean this with all due respect regarding your thoughtful videos… Since it is a bobber possibly lose the ugly garbage can lid faring and the rear mounted child’s travel duffel bag. And get a backpack if you need to carry anything. I love the Street Bob. You don’t have to build it up like the ST. Unless that’s what you want. And if you want one, get it!!
As you say. It’s a Bobber. Stripped down. Naked. Don’t put tighty whiteys on it.
"Great bike as it is...so I put a fairing, seat, backrest, and luggage on it, because it would have sucked if it came that way from the factory!" ;)
Gotta leave room for your own modifications too 😂
As a counterargument, the price between the Lowrider S and the ST is literal thousands and the only difference is a fairing and saddlebags. So while you may have to add shit to the S it will almost certainly end up being cheaper than factory customization of the ST. I also have a '22 Street Bob and would much rather add aftermarket parts that I choose myself than let Harley put what they think is cool on the bike then tax me like crazy for it.
Great comments. 👍 Enjoy the road.
Nope. I love the Street Bob exactly as it is. Stripped down and simple. I look at it like a big Sportster. I would consider one as a second bike for boppin around town.
It does feel like a bigger more powerful sportster 👍
Love mine. Only changes are the handler exhaust, and got rid of that stupid side mount license plate! ( Brakes are fine)
What bars you go with?
@@TheMotoJawn bars from a Softtail Slim. Harley Davidson calls them Hollywood bars.
I just bought a street bob last night i want to put a fairing on it im 5'9" whats a good size
I would say very short or really high. Not in between. That will hit you right in the head
@@TheMotoJawn that makes good sense thank you I appreciate it also I'm a new subscribe just started watching a lot of your videos
@4life215 right on thanks for stopping by!
Makes sense to me when you put it in that perspective of course I’m just starting to ride at age 43 what do I know
Love my street bob. The only things that I think should be different from the factory. Should come with led turn signals, for the love of christ its freaking 2023 don't be that cheap. And I wish the mid controls were just a couple inches forward, don't want forward controls because the bike is a blast to ride aggressively in the twisties but it feels a little cramped.
Yeah everything should come with led at this point
I love my bike and have had many many bikes.from Ducati , Triumph., Guzzi and my street Bob is one of my favorites.. powerful and easy to handle ..
A true sport cruiser
Love to hear it
They say the same things about the sportster s.......only thing it really needs is a rear shock that has more suspension travel
Yeah everyone said that needed dual discs
I agree with you that that is what the streetbob is about . In 2019 I chose a Slim over the streetbob because it had what l wanted. This year l brought the you hated the Nightster Special. I love both bike for different reasons. I now have the Slim set up mainly for touring with Wilbur's suspension and a tour pack . Except for fuel range and storage. The Nightster Special is capable of doing big miles in comfort and out performing the Slim in ever way . Even 2000km in 2 days on it with 5 other Harleys. Outrun all of them and used less fuel.
Always good to have options 👍
Facts my street bob has 4.8 gallon gas tank and it looks nice.
It looks Good and Sounds super good. I think is just perfect. But i hate my local harley dealer so bad, that woukd never buybfrom any dealer, will get one use some day.
love youre video, agree everything you said, please don't take half the video to get to the point. ❤
I Love my Bob. Wouldn’t mind a small fairing but most of the time we’re fine.
But I do agree one hundred percent what you said about the bike
for the price and the bike you get for it. its unmatched to most of harley bikes (also bias i have the 2022 red as well hahah)
It wouldn't have the bobber feel with an ugly large tank and huge gauges. Its stripped down to get that feel. There are other models to move up to with everything you want.
my friend has a 22 street bob and got it converted from the 114 to a 122. unbelievable how much fun it is even before the 122. I just picked up a 22 lowrider s and i couldn’t agree with you more if you want performance get the lowrider if you want to cruise get the street bob @themotojawn
In the end, everyone makes the changes necessary to make it work for them. It's that simple.
It's a shame that they discontinued the Low Rider.
Yeah I liked the regular low rider
@@TheMotoJawn I'm glad that I didn't abandon my Roadster for a Low Rider.
Only thing I want it was a bigger tank and more color options
I also have this bike.. having trouble choosing the height of my windshield😅
I like the cafe screen. 9in vented was also good for me
It’s your bike. YOU are correct. Enjoy your ride.
👍👍👍
Totally agree. The only thing this bike really needs is an exhaust + license plate on the side. And front footpegs but thats my personal preference
That's good too
Turn the plate vertical. I did.
OMG DUDE!!! Get to the point.
I just dont like the rubber boot over the front suspension. Otherwise a great looking bike.
I still gave you a thumbs up.
I got the same bike love it
Niiiiiice 🔥
Those breaks are great
It’s 50 bucks. Get a black gas cap. I own the same bike 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thinking a about it
Harley Davidson makes other models with the features these people are looking for.
Buy those bikes. That said, get away from my FXBBS!!! ( I do have minor changes planned)
100pct right.. It's outfitted like it should be. Want all the other stuff then move up.
True 💯
You repeatedly refer to keeping it a bobber but fail to realise the screen YOU fitted is definitely NOT a bobber look.
Nice bike my man.
Thank you sir 🙏
Agreed 💯
🤟🤟🤟💯💯💯
Fast forward to 5:00 because all he keeps saying your wrong for the first 5 minutes of the video.
AND it's built as strongly as those pieces of bridge (8:32), LIKE A BRIDGE
Well.....Ya aint wrong!
😂😂
I thought it was a pretty solid bike to customize the crap out of....you're saying I'm wrong?!
Nah I'm saying if you expect those things on a bobber from the factory YOU'RE WRONG 😂😂
You can’t call it a Bob when you have more parts than a standard softtail.
True standard might be even more stripped down
Dual disks doesnt always mean better braking, idk why people think that
Meh....once you put a fairing on it, it's no longer a bobber.
What if you only want a bigger tank and like everything else about the street bob
Guess that's still pretty bobberish
You can put a 5 gallon tank on it. I did the tank swap on my 21 Street Bob. Easy mod.
He took half the time apologizing and hopefully not to offend people. The most offensive part is it took him half a vdo to start addressing the subject….
My apologies 😂
When people start talking about it needs this and that they should just get the Lowrider
Too expensive still
That is a fact either way 😂
Can you do a review on your sissy bar
It’s a bobber sorta
Coping hard bro. Just trade it in and get the LRS, you’ll be making a different type of video
Let me tell you why you're wrong about the street bob. I have X reasons why everyone is wrong with teh street bob. You all do this and that and this and that and the other thing, but I'm going to show you why cause of things. Obviously stuff and things and who knows what and you knows and all those things. By the way, it's a street bob, in case you dind't know from the first 10 minutes. Let me tell you what a street bob is 3 times, define it cause no one has ever heard of a bobber before. ok, first reason you're wrong is all the things you said... XD Moto vloggers absolutely HATE to get to the point lol
Throw in some click bait and were all set !
iNVERTED SNOBBERY
You should remove the windscreen. It would look a lot better. That is just too big and destroyed the look and the character of the bike.
It is detachable
Windscreen means , I like to ride fast . IFKYK
Don’t knock it before you try it function over form
Personal preference, maybe keep the negativity to yourself next time 🤷🏻♂️
i think it looks really good buddy, eat my nuts
