The fact that you guys can make a full in depth review of bikes that don't have a ton of changes year to year and still make them engaging while offering new perspectives says a lot about your channel. It's funny because I have a softail low rider that I have no interest in trading but I still watch all your reviews start to finish.
Totally agree. For starters, these reviews played a huge part in helping me decide on a 2020 Street Bob last year. That’s how I found this channel in the first place. But also, here in Maryland, in the winter months when the weather isn’t ideal for riding, I still want to be engaged in the motorcycle world. The reviews are so informative and entertaining, that I’ve come to treat it almost like a TV show.
@@marcogonzalez7323 Same here. His videos played a part in helping me decide on which model to buy. Been watching ever since and I agree, it is like a TV show.
@@MattLaidlaw 110% agree with Kash, I love your guys level headed super sharp views on the bikes and the culture. Question, what's that jacket in the beginning of the video, that thing's RAD.
I really like that color. What’s funny is I can’t decide which color is my favorite. I like all 4 this year. The thing that makes me think I would choose the deadwood green is I’m kind of an understated guy. I think the black with orange and the orange with black is a little loud for me. They look great, but too loud for me. Then, the white... again, I like it with the graphics on the tank, but white has never been my favorite for any bike. So, in the end, I think your choice would be mine too.
@@RevJay_Rides Definitely go with the Green. I’m the same way. White and orange is too loud, and everyone has black. The green is noticeable, but subtle. I was worried in the beginning because of the fairings, sissy bars and other black accessories that I planned on adding, but I actually fell love with the look. The Deadwood green gives a good but understated contrast.
you might want to put that 114 in the shop and let them fix the camshaft and timing and even add some performance pistons you might want to change out the stock mufflers so you don't get the honda sound everywhere you go.
This channel has kept me sane during the winter lockdown here in the UK. Quality of production and information is brilliant and it's nice to see someone out enjoying their bikes!
Yep…. It’s the best channel for Harley Davidson content.. I’ve become a relatively knowledgeable Harley guy in a short time due to the content on this channel … In a months time, I have learned so much about Harley’s… the different classes, I.e. sport, cruiser, touring and adventure bikes, the difference in each of the bikes in each class and how the Softail changed and phased out the dyna.. and why…. I learned a lot about the upgrades available….and have seen details on every single bike that I am interested to know about… Plus it’s entertaining… very well produced…. There should be a tv show…. Idk. Called laidlaw Harleys ,, Kinda Like Orange County choppers,,, except just everyday Harleys…. Don’t need the bikes that no one actually will want to ride… no fancy paint jobs and chopped bikes…. It should be about bikes that people actually buy and ride to work or play ..
Laidlaw's Harley never fails to deliver... I put a deposit down on a white 2021 Street Bob, today. I'm up in Canada, but I always turn to this channel to deliver the best Harley content. Can't thank you enough for always giving your honest opinion. #Respect
Started watching this channel after my first bike, back in 2017. It was a Honda Rebel 500. I said to myself, "my next bike will be a Harley" went to my local dealer in 2020, and picked up a softail standard. It now has cobra neighbor haters, and a softail slim tank. (black denim paint) The way my bike looks, is unique. Nobody has how my bike looks like, and that is why Harley Davidson is number one in my book. You make it your own. Even though i got the 107, its still enough to carry bags, and a very pretty lady. ;)
I live for comments like this. Thanks for taking the time to leave it. I got a 107 on a street glide. Never have I felt my bike was too slow or underpowered.
I just bought the deadwood street bob and, as a newer rider, i think it is a great and very fun bike. I’m a larger guy, but the handling is so easy, the ride is smooth in town and on the highway, and it just looks so clean. The large engine is a plus, as well as the higher handle bars. All coming as stock too, I’m very happy I went with this bike as my first Harley!
@@Pipes61874 honestly a great bike if you’re into that style. Handles great and a wicked fun and smooth ride. I would recommend you get the ‘22 version, the rims are way better looking
As a tech at Harley. Most of the guys who work at the shop own the street bob including me and use it as a daily. Its easily the best handling softail and maneuvering through traffic on the street bob is as easy as if you were on a dirt bike. Absolutely amazing ride
@@speaktruth247 one of the guys here who ride one is 6 foot and is comfortable with the mid controls, another is 6,6 and uses the forward control conversion which takes an hour to fit
I just ordered one of these 5 weeks ago and it finally arrived at the dealer straight from the factory! I got the stone washed pearl! next winter the 131 is coming
Top channel for harley reviews, you guys pick apart these bikes in a intricate manner pointing out things that others over see, giving your viewers a more in depth understanding on H D. Way to gain costumers
Love mine. 4 months in and no complaints at all. Excellent braking force, totally on point. Any more brake and it's overkill for fast road riding. Forks are beautifully calibrated, well sorted chassis, everything is buttoned down and tight as a drum. A beautifully engineered bike. Advantages of a single rotor/caliper is the lower unsprung weight, improving performance and handling further. A set of stickier tires and it will absolutely rail and keep with just about anything on the road. A great all-round power cruiser. A full system exhaust and stage 1 and don't touch the rest. It's a back to basics simple, raw motorcycle, and that appeals to the uncomplicated buyer that wants it that way.
Brilliant red candy colored with the same graffics would be sooooo nice.....And all chromed too...but candy. Fan of shine paintins, a bike must shine!!!!! No more denims, mate paintings, satín....open the garage un the morning And let the sun show that beauty...
Whole lotta respect to you guys for not just advertising and complimenting bikes (you're a dealer with sales targets after all) but pointing out weaker sides and discussing don't's also. This builds confidence in my opinion. Cheers from Poland
I agree with you making the Street Bob two up ready with the 114 gives it a leg up in my opinion, I still like the Low Rider S looks more but the new paint on the Street Bob is pretty sweet too.
Last new bike purchase was a 94 Dyna Lowrider. Still have it. Over 100K miles. Been all over the East coast and southern states with it. No windshield just saddlebags. My new Street Bob is a good replacement so far.
You have more problems than the weather in Portland. Maybe all that rain will put out some of the fires the scumbags are lighting to burn down your city.
I just sold my Dyna low rider S. Life kinda changed so I got my self a Wrx. Matt I swear to god the next Harley I buy is going to be from your dealership the Drive from Sacramento Ca to you is around 6 hours but it will be worth it.
near perfect naked bobber style bike . amusing to me is you guys talked a lot about HD adding the passenger seat and pegs , but that's one of the first things i'd take off if i bought one :) different strokes and all .
I have one and both those factory seats suck. After 20 minutes riding i can't feel anything below my waist. I put a lepara on mine and what a difference. All of harleys accessory seats suck. They change the look of the bike and are uncomfortable. Harley should talk to lepara or saddlemen on how to make a comfortable seat. You need a seat with back support. Because that motor has so much torque. It literally will push you off that factory seat.
@@LA-ff6zk ergonomics are different for everyone. I rode the slim from LA to Utah and found the seat to be much more comfortable than the lepera I had on my dads fxr. I also much preferred the stock seat on my 18 low rider to any of the saddle men or step up seats from other brands. There are stock seats I love and stock seats I hate but it’s certainly not just that they universally suck
Hi Matt absolutely love your channel, own a 114 streetbob from Maidstone Harley Davidson in Kent and have toured Devon and Cornwall in England about 900 miles each time no fairing just strap my things to the sissy bar. Been riding Harleys for 44 years and the 114 streetbob is the best Harley I've ever had the p.easure to ride.
PERFECT IN-DEPTH REVIEW!!!!! I just purchased the 2022 STREET BOB yesterday after noon here in Colorado Springs!! The only difference from the 2021 would be the Mag Wheels which I think look insane!!!
Wanted a Harley since I was 6. I'm finally 8 days away from getting my first one. We've narrowed down the options in their inventory to 3 bikes in my price range. 2020 low rider s, 2022 street bob, and 2022 sport glide. I want small bags and a road warrior fairing on whichever bike I go with, but it was really hard for me to make a decision. Your videos are a HUGE help. Thanks
This was the video I watched right before I bought my 2022 Street Bob 114 at my local HD dealership. Thanks and keep up the great content guys!! Best reviews by far.
I do appreciate your information and I think you did a great job with the overview of the bike however putting a 114 in a bike with a 3.5 gallon tank was ridiculous by Harley. This is not your fault but overall I do feel the slim is the better barber with classic look and should have a 114 in it and I soon will. You are 100% correct that a bike with that type of power should have dual disc brakes it should actually be standard on the Slim by now
I'm really liking the orange and black. I always loved the styling of the Street Bob both old and new. It's retained it's Harley heritage by maintaining that old school bobber look.
Just test one of these at a Harley demo truck event. What a great bike, light , very nimble, and felt very snappy it felt faster and more responsive than the low rider s. Also as stated in the video the brakes are more than capable of stopping this bike. Felt good to ride a stripped down bike without all the clutter.
Just snagged me a 2022 Street Bob! I got the red one. This is my first Harley ever and I’m so stoked! I watched a ton of your videos and it helped me tremendously in making a decision!
Hoped to see Matt on the bike.. I'm 6'6" and a similar build than Matt and I'm dying to see how I would look on it (without scheduling a test ride just yet). Cheers from Prague, Czech republic 🔥
Traded in my 2019 Roadster for the 114 FXBBS. ....after being able to ride 4 bikes, 2017 Yamaha R6 2019 BMW S1000RR 2019 Roadster 1200 ...this is the bike for me. It has plenty of low end torque @3000 RPM it’s got the comfortability for a long ride IF you get a 2 up seat 😂😂🤣 (wished the tank was at least 4.5 gallons but oh well carry a gas can w/you) 😂 And that M8 motor is just smoooth! Can be dipped into corners real well, brakes well. As usual, rear brake is pretty..ass. LOL Overall, it fits me and my riding style. I can cruise with it, I can haul ass, and you can pimp it out and make your own. Love it.
Hey guys nice review. As an owner of a 19’ Streetbob I have to say ur underselling this bikes long range capability. With the steep price changes for the Heritage or even worse street glide price... this bobber can have quick detach saddle bags plus windscreen n two up comfy hammock seat for about $1500 Now that will destroy the bobber look but it gets ya from Detroit to Sturgis without issue. All of it can be changed out in 5 minutes. These are the most versatile bikes Harley makes and I’ve yet to see a salesman who knew it. Just sayin. I did the iron butt last year and only got sore for my shoulder having no cruise. But that’s been fixed for $12 now too lol
Glad to see Harley make this bike what it should have been. Love the colors too. Would be hard to choose between the Deadwood Green and the White. Spoiled by cruise control though so I would have to add that.
I really like the changes to the Street Bob, even though I liked the Dyna Street Bob with the larger tank and traditional gauge on the console of tank. But is great paint schemes this year on them.
I have an 18 streetbob and I hesitated buying because I knew this model would eventually come out with the 114. Oh well I still love my bike and I'm 6'2 and I love the mids. Great video as always
@BZ I think it is. Now I will say I'm not a real long-distance rider out there crushing miles, I'm more of a few hours of spirited riding type, so after 500 miles, it may be very uncomfortable I can't speak on that.
@@jonchrzanowski725 I was thinking of shorter rides only. Thank you!! Very insightful 👍👍 I was thinking this, fat Bob, and fat boy, but this is the cheapest of them (and possibly best looking!)
3:20… regarding 2up-capability the Sport Glide is the first one, not the Heritage ! Generally I love your reviews! You’re doing an awesome job! Greetings from Bavaria.
I am one of the guys who would prefer the more subtle fuel tank with the black color and maybe just the Harley name on it. My hope is it will be an option for the 2022. If not ill still pick one up and just redo the tank on my own. Great review guys.
These videos that your putting out help tremendously everyone interested in learning more about the Harley line-up. I certainly hope you are around for a long time and continue to help the industry. Harley corporate should take note and compensate your efforts!
Hello,🇨🇦 from London Ontario Canada, when I was riding through the Rockie mountains,on my 1994 sportster,it was great, that was in 1998, and it was terrific, I rode home from Vancouver to London Ontario, the Evo 883 is the best motor of the motor company,
Amazing and honest reviews, particularly coming from a dealer. Really appreciate these and I'm debating going from a Triumph Street Triple R to a Street Bob. I know, big difference. Thanks again!
Sweet bikes. Dyna style with Milwaukee 8 fun, what's not to like. Personally I'd ditch the gaiters, but that's nit picking. You guys will shift loads of them, I'm sure!
Really great review guys, thank you. I took a test ride on the Street Bob yesterday at my local dealership and straight after bought the white bike that they had just unloaded from the truck! I pick it up on Friday - can't wait! All the best from Wales - or as we say "hwyl fawr!"
I got to ride a Street Bob when it was in the Dyna family. It was AWESOME! I would imagine that being a Softail with the 114 it is even better now. But my heart belongs to the Fatboy.
ya, they definitely should have come out with one in all black for sure, thats the only thing holding me back although that deadwood green is pretty sweet
We enjoy and trust your advice you opinion has made me move from Indian to HD I have just purchased a 2023 Street Bob big change from the Dyna’s. Have Fun.
The tank graphics are absolutely perfect! Great job Harley! My favorite Harley logo is the #1. I love the iconic black and orange. Adding the 114 was a stroke of genius. This will probably be one of their biggest sellers this year? I’m also a huge fan of mids. Heck, I guess I should probably trade in my sporty for this bike.
I think HD did a great job on the new Street Bob. You get a lot of bike for the money. Always informative. Matt and Nick, great job on going through the bike and what a rider should know when thinking of buying one.
Awesome video! I have an Iron 883 but am wanting to move up to the Street Bob. Is that too big of a jump? Also I totally agree with the blacked out tank graphic. If they had that, I probably already have it sitting in my garage 😂. I’m hoping for a black denim version
I think a lot depends on the area of the country you are riding in. Back east in Florida the road is long and straight and the longer rake is probably preferable, especially on the 'B' roads where the best riding really is. Contrary to popular belief there are hills in Florida up towards the center of the state. Just not so many Twisties. Also, for additional lighting the LED turn signal inserts are inexpensive and throw some extra light. Love your in depth reviews. 2020 107 is more than enough for me. The new motor really rocks.
I just checked around for these. There are no 2021 Street Bob 114's for sale in my state, nor in Georgia, even at the largest Harley dealer in Atlanta. Nearest one I could find was in Michigan. Looked again and there was one at a dealer in Ashville, NC. These bikes are super rare at dealers. Probably all you can do right now is order one ... forget about a test ride.
I own a 2021 slim. I'm learning the 107 has enough torque. If you use the engine to slow down and down shift. I use less braking. Apply the same to bigger motor. I do the same driving truck.
Getting one tomorrow. Trading my FLHT. Getting older and don’t go on long trips anymore. Like the old look. Guess because I grew up on dirt bikes?? Been learning from Jerry Paladino on UA-cam. This is much more suitable for me . Not planning on modifying anything.
The fact that you guys can make a full in depth review of bikes that don't have a ton of changes year to year and still make them engaging while offering new perspectives says a lot about your channel.

And that M8 motor is just smoooth!
Can be dipped into corners real well, brakes well. As usual, rear brake is pretty..ass. LOL
Overall, it fits me and my riding style.
I can cruise with it, I can haul ass, and you can pimp it out and make your own.
Love it.
Hey guys nice review.
As an owner of a 19’ Streetbob I have to say ur underselling this bikes long range capability. With the steep price changes for the Heritage or even worse street glide price... this bobber can have quick detach saddle bags plus windscreen n two up comfy hammock seat for about $1500
Now that will destroy the bobber look but it gets ya from Detroit to Sturgis without issue. All of it can be changed out in 5 minutes. These are the most versatile bikes Harley makes and I’ve yet to see a salesman who knew it. Just sayin. I did the iron butt last year and only got sore for my shoulder having no cruise. But that’s been fixed for $12 now too lol
Glad to see Harley make this bike what it should have been. Love the colors too. Would be hard to choose between the Deadwood Green and the White. Spoiled by cruise control though so I would have to add that.
I really like the changes to the Street Bob, even though I liked the Dyna Street Bob with the larger tank and traditional gauge on the console of tank. But is great paint schemes this year on them.
If I didn't buy my new Honda 1100 DCT, this was going to be my next choice. It's a nice bike for sure.
Lucky for me I got to test ride a 2020 model last summer still can’t get out of my mind.
I have an 18 streetbob and I hesitated buying because I knew this model would eventually come out with the 114. Oh well I still love my bike and I'm 6'2 and I love the mids. Great video as always
just do a stage 2 itll be more powerful than a stock 114
@@el-hp1lj I have a 2020 Standard with a stage 2 torque cam, Vance and Hines short shots, and the HD extreme flow air intake.
Is it really that comfortable at 6'2? I'm an inch shorter and thought my legs woild be cramped and knees hurting
@BZ I think it is. Now I will say I'm not a real long-distance rider out there crushing miles, I'm more of a few hours of spirited riding type, so after 500 miles, it may be very uncomfortable I can't speak on that.
@@jonchrzanowski725 I was thinking of shorter rides only. Thank you!! Very insightful 👍👍 I was thinking this, fat Bob, and fat boy, but this is the cheapest of them (and possibly best looking!)
I just purchased one from Oakland HD, its been in the service department or a week awaiting parts. I can’t wait 2 ride this bike along the coast
3:20… regarding 2up-capability the Sport Glide is the first one, not the Heritage !
Generally I love your reviews! You’re doing an awesome job! Greetings from Bavaria.
I am one of the guys who would prefer the more subtle fuel tank with the black color and maybe just the Harley name on it. My hope is it will be an option for the 2022. If not ill still pick one up and just redo the tank on my own. Great review guys.
These videos that your putting out help tremendously everyone interested in learning more about the Harley line-up. I certainly hope you are around for a long time and continue to help the industry. Harley corporate should take note and compensate your efforts!
Hello,🇨🇦 from London Ontario Canada, when I was riding through the Rockie mountains,on my 1994 sportster,it was great, that was in 1998, and it was terrific, I rode home from Vancouver to London Ontario, the Evo 883 is the best motor of the motor company,
Truly a great video. Lots of great information instead of just vlogging on the bike. Thank you.
Amazing and honest reviews, particularly coming from a dealer. Really appreciate these and I'm debating going from a Triumph Street Triple R to a Street Bob. I know, big difference. Thanks again!
Couldn't agree more with the need for a solid black option for a street bob.
Sweet bikes. Dyna style with Milwaukee 8 fun, what's not to like. Personally I'd ditch the gaiters, but that's nit picking. You guys will shift loads of them, I'm sure!
Originally from the SGV now out in STV in Arizona, lookin at this for 1st Harley purchase.
This video is the most informative I've seen by far.
Really great review guys, thank you. I took a test ride on the Street Bob yesterday at my local dealership and straight after bought the white bike that they had just unloaded from the truck! I pick it up on Friday - can't wait! All the best from Wales - or as we say "hwyl fawr!"
I got to ride a Street Bob when it was in the Dyna family. It was AWESOME! I would imagine that being a Softail with the 114 it is even better now. But my heart belongs to the Fatboy.
-Learned much in this presentation. Thanks for all that peripheral information about the whys of manufacture's choices re: performance & looks.
ya, they definitely should have come out with one in all black for sure, thats the only thing holding me back although that deadwood green is pretty sweet
We enjoy and trust your advice you opinion has made me move from Indian to HD I have just purchased a 2023 Street Bob big change from the Dyna’s. Have Fun.
The tank graphics are absolutely perfect! Great job Harley! My favorite Harley logo is the #1. I love the iconic black and orange. Adding the 114 was a stroke of genius. This will probably be one of their biggest sellers this year? I’m also a huge fan of mids. Heck, I guess I should probably trade in my sporty for this bike.
I had a 16 with the 103 and was a fun bike.. now with the 114 that bike would be a blast.. good move on HD part..
I'm glad I got a 107 version. The displacement increase would have increased my insurance insanely.
Great bike. Gotta say for the price and engine it’s a good option. Me personally I’d go for the Fat Bob or Low Rider S but this is just as good
I think HD did a great job on the new Street Bob. You get a lot of bike for the money. Always informative. Matt and Nick, great job on going through the bike and what a rider should know when thinking of buying one.
All in all, a great bike. Been riding it since October. Handlebars are getting changed to Softtail Slim bars.
Matt what happen to the podcact? You guys were doing great... bring it back please sir
Love my 2022. Redest thing I've seen on two wheels.
If you were coming in cold to HD, this is the bike to get right now!
The 114 and the orange graphics make this a no brainer, however I am not ready to trade the Fat Bob just yet.
You guys do a nice job highlighting the pros and cons.
I wanted a ‘21 but could not gel with the color options. I bought a ‘20 and love it, it’s like a blank slate.
Congrats. Enjoy.
That graphic in black with the ghosted grey like on fat bobs would be mint
Should have covered removing the passenger seat and showing what is left over when you do.
The answer is!!! look at last year's... hope that helped 😁
Me: Hey, Harley, I'll take a new chromed out cruiser with a 5 gal tank and mid controls.
Harley: umm....uh...uh.......ummmm...
In red brilliant candy colored?!hell yeah!
What’s wrong with the Fat Boy then
@@glratcli Not mid controls! And butt ugly to boot.
Me too, except forward controls; sounds like a Low Rider; I'm amazed it was cancelled.
Sounds like you're talking bout my bike. 2019 fxlr and I love it. Of course it would be cool to have a 114.
I just traded my street bob before the Lowrider ST, I hated to see the Bob go bud I do love the new bike
If i didnt get a killer deal on my Fat bob I probably would have got the street bob especially seeing it now has the 114
Like the vintage look to black and Orange looks great thanks for the video take care
Great video thanks Matt!!
Great review. Definitely makes some good points that apply to my 883 also.
Awesome video! I have an Iron 883 but am wanting to move up to the Street Bob. Is that too big of a jump? Also I totally agree with the blacked out tank graphic. If they had that, I probably already have it sitting in my garage 😂. I’m hoping for a black denim version
I think a lot depends on the area of the country you are riding in. Back east in Florida the road is long and straight and the longer rake is probably preferable, especially on the 'B' roads where the best riding really is. Contrary to popular belief there are hills in Florida up towards the center of the state. Just not so many Twisties. Also, for additional lighting the LED turn signal inserts are inexpensive and throw some extra
light. Love your in depth reviews. 2020 107 is more than enough for me. The new motor really rocks.
Loving the looks of that bike. Considering adding a second bike and after seeing this it is a serious contender. Great job fellas
Definitely like these new bikes but my slim is staying
Always look forwards to your videos when a new model drops, if I were on the west coast I'd definitely buy one of your bikes.
I want that #1 Hoodie
That's a spectacular B-roll, excellent camera work
Thanks!
I got my 2020 and I love it
100% right in the colour I would of bought one if it was straight black
I just checked around for these. There are no 2021 Street Bob 114's for sale in my state, nor in Georgia, even at the largest Harley dealer in Atlanta. Nearest one I could find was in Michigan. Looked again and there was one at a dealer in Ashville, NC. These bikes are super rare at dealers. Probably all you can do right now is order one ... forget about a test ride.
This is a beautiful motorcycle
thanks guys this video helped out a lot, I appreciate what you guys do
I own a 2021 slim. I'm learning the 107 has enough torque. If you use the engine to slow down and down shift. I use less braking. Apply the same to bigger motor. I do the same driving truck.
Could you do a review of the new Sport Glide? Planning to trade my sportster
in for a new Softail and I am on the fence with that bike.
Getting one tomorrow. Trading my FLHT. Getting older and don’t go on long trips anymore. Like the old look. Guess because I grew up on dirt bikes?? Been learning from Jerry Paladino on UA-cam. This is much more suitable for me . Not planning on modifying anything.
