The 1 has me conflicted on one hand it is a bit much, but it does make it stand out against other softails. Number one on the tanks and fork boats, yupp, it's a street bob. Vs I know it isn't a heritage, or low rider s or st, is it a standard maybe.
117 engine, Dual Front Disc Brakes, Assisited Slipper Clutch, Traction Control. These things should come as standard for the whole Softail line. I'm willing to upgrade from my Nightster 975 if they can provide that.
I already have most of those upgrades on My 107 Street Bob. The ABS and LED lights already came as standard on mine. I upgraded the cruise control installed, A stage 2, LRS clamshell bags, memphis shades fairing. I would also like to see some of these come as standard on future Street Bobs.
Updates are inevitable if you want to stay competitive. Something you didn't mention is VVT on the softail platform. These bells and whistles that are offered and standard on other brands will and HAVE to make it over the the harley name plate. Shiny side up 👍
I have a black 22 SB and I love it. I wasn't sure about the 1 on the tank, it was a bit Evil Knievel for me but its grown on me. In the future I may keep the black and orange but come up with a different design. In the wet you have to be very gentle on the throttle going round roundabouts/cornering, that torque on the back tyre can make it slide easily so a rain riding mode would be cool. After 150/160 miles I like to stop anyway so tank size isn't a problem. The stock front brake is better than I expected and just about adequate but with a 117 engine and say stage 2 or 4 not so sure... Tyres are skinny for some tastes (150 on the rear) but that's what makes this bike so nimble, one of its best selling points so why ruin it, keep it simple stupid.
I do think the beauty of the streetbob is the simplicity. Next to the softail standard it’s the most basic softail you can get. If they do add all this to the streetbob in the future, they should make it a special model and still keep a base model
I own a 23 street bob and i love it handles like a dream and its stupid fast for a stock Harley the size of the gas tank doesn't bother me at all. Haters going to Hate no matter what i guess
I could have bought anything on the showroom floor. I never cared for wind shields stereos or cruise control. Give me a light weight, bare bones bike with a big engine. I went home on a redline red 2022 Street Bob.
I have a 22 Street Bob but I was thinking about adding cruise control and some other upgrades but I think I'm going to wait till next year to see if they put a 117 and all the other goodies on the 2025 Street Bob I like the black with no orange on the tank that's what I would have picked if they would have had it but I got the gauntlet Gray metallic which I like but you said they were thinking about going back to laced Wheels I think that is a mistake no laced Wheels!!!
I’m more interested in the Road Glide and Street Glide models for 2024. Being that the CVO’s have changed significantly, I’m wondering how that will affect the touring models. I would also like to see the Road King standard make a come back.
Bought my 2022 FXBBS new just before I retired from the dealership. Love the bike. I did get to ride one with a 117 kit on it. Not that much difference.
I think the changes will make it to 2024 BUT as a mid year refresh of the Street Bob, so in January we will see that the Street Bob will be missing from the lineup
I don't think a 117 in the Street Bob makes sense. The point of the Street Bob is a stripped down, but great looking model. I thought going to the 114 and mag wheels was already doing too much with the model (it's pushing $18k now) and getting too close to the LRS. Upgrading it further would leave a gap in the model line above the Standard and push the Street Bob up to the LRS with too much overlap. Also, I see your riding near Whitts/Bull Run HD in Manassas. Are you local to that area?
I thought the same unless they make improvements to the lrs as well. So they all get upgraded more or less. I’m about 45 minutes outside of manassas, in Maryland actually
THEY NEED TO BRING BACK THE STONEWASH WHITE COLOR OPTION!! Also keep the 3.5 gallon tank! I know that is controversial but to me that is the perfect size tank. Dont want to change the look and increse the weight of the bike. Stopping to fuel up around every 140 miles isnt bad at all. Also im fine with the 114 just keep the price point down! It shouldn't be more than $13k msrp at most!! Sportsters need to be under $10k and they need to bring another classic style sportster to the table. They need to soften their prices if they want to survive because sales are down big time for them and it's because of their prices being too steep. Everyone loves Harleys just the prices are too hard to afford!
Hey brother I've got a question that nobody can answer and it's about the Fat Bob 114 cause on the color sheet for 2024 there's no Fat Bob listed but I just watched a video showing the Fat Bob and with new colors one being this snake bite green or snake green and my brother thinks it's a fake bike just trying to find out if it's being released for 2024 anything you can tell me would help greatly cause was the bike looking to purchase this season of 2024. Great videos you put out!!
Hey man. Yeah I’ve read that it’s missing from the color sheet, which could mean that it’s getting cut from 2024. I don’t have a clear answer here either, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the fatbob doesn’t make it to the lineup.
My 2022 Street Bob has ABS. I think the only thing HD needs to do is add a 117 and LED lighting on the Street Bob. The Low Rider gives a larger tank and wider rear tire. If HD is smart they would Give the ST bikes and the limited bikes the 121 VVT. The first photos of the 2023 CVO were leaked by HD.
If you want to win back customers bring back the best bang for your buck bikes like the 107 lowrider and Slim those bikes were about 14-15 ish K and you got everything big motor, full size gas tank.... come on people dont be blinded with stupid gimmicks like ride modes. What we want is fair prices and not to be price gouged
The Street Bob is intended to be a stripped-down cruiser! A bigger motor doesn't mean bigger penis! By adding all these modern "features" takes away the soul of the Street Bob!
With 3.5 gallons you can go 180 miles, the 114 gets 50 plus mpg. 150 on a tank if you're feeling like lighting, smoke a sport bike from a stoplight. You'll be changing your rear tire often.. Fat Bob 0-60 3.5 seconds.. a little heavier. They didn't post the 0-60 on the street in 2021 when I got it.. I wonder why.. get slip on mufflers right away. And make it your own, with a name, Choas.
I'd rather see new colors and for them to lose that giant dumb 1 on the side and give us a simple HD badge on the tank with some classic colors.
The exact comment I was to make before reading yours. Totally agree.
The 1 has me conflicted on one hand it is a bit much, but it does make it stand out against other softails. Number one on the tanks and fork boats, yupp, it's a street bob. Vs I know it isn't a heritage, or low rider s or st, is it a standard maybe.
The 3 gal tank is such a slap in the face for the money a street bob costs nowadays
A bigger tank and 117 and I’m in
Bigger tank would be dope
117 engine, Dual Front Disc Brakes, Assisited Slipper Clutch, Traction Control. These things should come as standard for the whole Softail line. I'm willing to upgrade from my Nightster 975 if they can provide that.
Yes exactly. Can’t be a premium brand if you can’t offer these things as standard
A rain mode would be great for the street bob and larger front and rear wheels, tires...
Great info.... The upgrades are excellent, put some of those on the Street Bob 114 such as abs, cruise control and traction. The tier sounds great.
Thanks man! It would make for a killer streetbob
I already have most of those upgrades on My 107 Street Bob. The ABS and LED lights already came as standard on mine. I upgraded the cruise control installed, A stage 2, LRS clamshell bags, memphis shades fairing. I would also like to see some of these come as standard on future Street Bobs.
Abs and led might’ve been added before you bought it, but those things were definitely not standard on the 107. Theyre not even standard on the 114.
@@zimvader25 they are everywhere else but not in US. in the US they are an option.
Watching this again, I'm very impressed. Why not put a 4 gallon tank at least.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Lol youre talking about an extra 15-20 miles vs the stock 3.5 gallon tank.
I can’t decide literally between the street bob and the low rider s 😩😂
Lol it’s a good problem to have
I love my lrs I would get a street bob as a back up if they put a larger tank on it
Updates are inevitable if you want to stay competitive. Something you didn't mention is VVT on the softail platform. These bells and whistles that are offered and standard on other brands will and HAVE to make it over the the harley name plate. Shiny side up 👍
Great vid, I would definitely consider going back to HD if they offered this on the Street Bob.
Yeah would be a good move from HD

Wait to see new Street Bob with 117❤
The changes couldn’t come to soon. A 117 in a street Bob would keep me from going to the low rider S or the Breakout.
I love the idea of a 117 on a streetbob
They need to put a larger fuel tank too
I own a 23 street bob and i love it handles like a dream and its stupid fast for a stock Harley the size of the gas tank doesn't bother me at all. Haters going to Hate no matter what i guess
One of the quickest and agile softail models. I really like the streetbob
I could have bought anything on the showroom floor. I never cared for wind shields stereos or cruise control. Give me a light weight, bare bones bike with a big engine. I went home on a redline red 2022 Street Bob.
Solid choice

I do feel as if the 117 will eventually make its way to all the softails including the streetbob
I’m more interested in the Road Glide and Street Glide models for 2024. Being that the CVO’s have changed significantly, I’m wondering how that will affect the touring models. I would also like to see the Road King standard make a come back.
Same. Maybe a roadking standard and a roadking st would be pretty neat
History shows the surveys mean something!
History repeats itself

I think the changes will make it to 2024 BUT as a mid year refresh of the Street Bob, so in January we will see that the Street Bob will be missing from the lineup
The plot thickens
I have 2020 SGS so ST 117 isn't worth a trade but a 117 Street bob with ride modes and cruise is reason to buy a second bike
I don't think a 117 in the Street Bob makes sense. The point of the Street Bob is a stripped down, but great looking model.

Harley can charge more because of brand prestige. Those listed mods... they can easily sell it for 19k-20k and people will still buy it
If there’s one thing I learned, people will buy anything that has the Harley logo on it
I doubt the Streetbob will have any changes other than colour...it's basically an entry level bike.

Fuel capacity would be great. I love the bike and would get it. Just need 5 gallon tank. Someone on another channel mentioned RDRS…?
The tank size is really a pain point. It’s not that much larger than a sportster tank
@@IronBornRideralso was wondering if they would put a fairing (Road Warrior type) like the Chief Sport has?
@@turtle19dad you can always get that through aftermarket. Harley usually likes to keep the streetbob on the minimalistic side
The only down fall is the seals will wear out within 4 to 5 thousand miles
Well if i save now ill be able to buy one in 2026
2026 is gonna be lit!
i would buy thiis ... and i am from croatia EU
It would be a crowd favorite
This is late October and the dealers have a ton of bikes.
If you want to win back customers bring back the best bang for your buck bikes like the 107 lowrider and Slim those bikes were about 14-15 ish K and you got everything big motor, full size gas tank.... come on people dont be blinded with stupid gimmicks like ride modes.

Hopefully they will put at least a 5 gallon fuel tank on it ! Otherwise I would have bought one.
Seems like the 5 gallon tank is highly sought after on the streetbob
With 3.5 gallons you can go 180 miles, the 114 gets 50 plus mpg. 150 on a tank if you're feeling like lighting, smoke a sport bike from a stoplight. You'll be changing your rear tire often..

No Fat Bob?
I didn’t get any survey about a fatbob, at least not yet
the streetbob did not get the 117 still the 114
Needs a 5 gallon tank . The 3 gallon is just dumb
Every softail should have a 5 gallon tank
Harley has no choice now
