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.

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.
Just bought one two weeks ago 👍🏻 Love it
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.
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.
Nice review dude ! Keep it up !
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 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.
So, would you recommend the Street Bob or the Sport Glide, which one would you choose?
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.
