I think it's it really hard to find people making videos on CZcams that really understand custom bikes (especially Harleys) in Europe. But you two, in my opinion, are just what custom enthousiasts need ! Congratulations for your great work ! In this video, you gave me an information that i had never heard about... I am currently driving a Sportster 883 for my A2 licence (I love that bike), and I intend to get a 114 Street Bob now that i'm out of the A2 restrictions. But at the Harley Davidson dealership (I live in France), they did not talk about anything like "no stage 1" and "no exhaust"..... But actually, it seems to be true.... Still, I think that a "modern" engine like the 114 doesn't really need a stage 1 as bad as the old Evolution engine for instance. But, like every single Harley, it needs an exhaust !!!! But do you mean that we can't install an exhaust that is "euro 5 friendly"? Or is it also the case for pipes like Vance and Hines ? To be honest I don't really care about the european rules, so If I can use an empty tube it's fine by me, but I believe it could wreck the CO2 sensors..... (which also happens sometimes with Vance an Hines on euro 4 bikes)
Thanks buddy! Very much appreciated!
I think they will get round it but it’s unlikely to be ‘legal’ so pipes will probably have to be swapped back for the MOT test I guess
I appreciate that you don't beat up these bikes yet can still translate how these bikes feel. Great job of getting really useful information out to prospective buyers.
Thanks buddy, they don’t need beating up to understand what they’re about! Especially as most of the bikes we review are brand new and not fully run in yet! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻😊
You just can't beat an in-depth review from both a veteran and a new rider. Rly love all your vids!
Thanks buddy 💯👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Make sure to stay safe as well! Looking forward to more of your vids!
Again a good review, refreshing change from the American dealer carpark reviews that are so common these days.
Thanks Paul, yes we try to make them a bit more interesting!
@Matt Laidlaw always does great ride reviews. His dealership has been in business for over 50 years. He knows more about the products that the folks at HD do. Search his CZcams channel.
Thanks to yr review I went and had a look at my local dealer... My new streetbob 114 is being delivered next week!!! Happy Christmas Guys 🎄
Awesome! Thanks buddy 💯 Enjoy
Yeah, that went well.
Test rode the 107 street Bob last November was an awesome bike!!!! Ended up getting the iron 1200. Long live Harley Davidson!!!! Amazing bikes
We love them!
Love the StreetBob. I have a 107 and I’m a bit jealous they come with the 114 now but I still love my bike. Super nimble, plenty of power. I ride it to work 100+ mi a day on the freeway. It’s all I need right now. Great video as always guys. Cheers.
It’s a great bike, tbh you probably don’t need to upgrade unless you really want to.
I test drove one the other day and honestly I was expecting it to be much faster lol
I actually test rode this bike today, same color, and wow! What a bike! That 114 is a monster! They wanted 17k here in Tulsa Oklahoma where I’m at? They said they can’t keep them in stock. I believe it since this one hadn’t even hit the showroom floor yet before I had my eye on it ....and my rear. The gears! Absolutely smooth like butter! Super smooth. Very smooth ride all the way around. Very smooth. Great engine! Just fantastic. The brakes were definitely a limitation of the bike. Downshifting felt strange at first until I got used to the shifter. The shifting is so smooth I actually wondered if it had changed gear a couple of times, but there is a gear indicator for that and a little, I repeat, little blip of the throttle will tell you anything you need to know about what gear you’re in. I almost traded in my 883 for it. But it just seems too pricey for me right now. Awesome, awesome, bike!
It’s definitely a top class bike! Glad you enjoyed the ride 💯👍🏼
A great bike and an amazing show!!! This is one of the few "new" bikes in the Harley line up that I find exiting. Keep up the good work guys!!!
Thanks buddy 💯👍🏼
Hey man, I agree! If i were to buy a new HD this is the one I'd want!
I purchased my Street Bob in June and I absolutely Love it!!
Awesome! They’re great
As an owner of the 20 Street Bob I'm happy that Harley made pretty big changes to the bike for 21 which is generating some buzz. Really good news since many CZcamsrs included the Street bob in the list of bikes dropped in 21.
Unlike most I think the best change was adding the passenger pegs. Nice to have if you upgrade the seat to a two-up.
I don't think the 114 upgrade is as big a deal as others say. The 107 to me is a lot of power for this bike. The disadvantage of the 114 especially this year is that you need a tuner if you add even just slip ons. I just saw a video on this and it makes sense. Since these already come with a high input air cleaner it already has half of the stage one. This year is more of a problem since you have to use Harley's tuner. Additional $300 minimum
Yes you’re absolutely right 👍🏼
Yeah adding the Fuelpak FP3 and adding some nice V&H exhaust slip ones is all you need on this bike!
@@lencampey5685 💯❤️
Thanks for the review guys! I'm about to get a white one and I'm really excited!! This will be my first bike ever. Lol.. I'm about to turn 41 in a couple days and I can honestly tell you that once I get my bike I don't ever see myself not having one or two or three. I am hooked and I appreciate what you'll do. For people like me that are new to this lifestyle I soak up every bit of information I possibly can and try to learn as much as possible and this channel will help me so thank you from Kilgore Tx! God bless y'all and I'm looking forward to the other review on this bike.
Thanks buddy! Really glad to hear that our channel is helpful! Fabulous choice with the Street Bob! 💯👍🏼
Thank you sir
Just got back from Sycamore and saw this , told Luke to stick the sissy bar on mine for when I collect next week. Great vid as always guys 👍
Thanks mate! You’re gonna love it!
The video quality is supper. I watched it on my 4k TV and I can tell it was day and night compare to other review in 1080p. Nice job!
Thanks buddy! That’s good to know 💯
One of the main reasons you buy a cruiser is for the way it looks. The new Indian Chief is streets ahead. Much nicer frame and engine(one of the best looking m/c engines, ever), no "cheesey" tank graphics, no ugly mini-radiator between the downtubes, and no "afterthought" indicators hanging off the front bars. 116" Chief performance is also ever so slightly better.
We’re really looking forward to reviewing the Chief 💯
The standard, besides the 107 and paint job, also does not have the pillion and passenger pegs. Just get the street bob, it’s worth the extra considering what you get. That’s my absolute favorite Harley emblem on the side of that tank, no question! I have been in love with this bike since they unveiled it in January!
It’s a stunner for sure, and yes the graphics on the tank look awesome!
If you're going to customize with chrome, get the standard. If you want to keep it blacked out, get the Street Bob.
A crank shaft, splash of orange paint, and that crappy pillion aren't worth 4 grand.
The 114 engine and the awesome paint job are absolutely WORTH the difference in price. Haven’t seen a 4K difference in price? Not between the street bob and the standard? You couldn’t swap out that 107 with a 114 and get that awesome paint job for even 4 thousand. I care very much what my bike looks like and that paint job is stunning as eff! The blacked out 114 is definitely worth paying more.
I sat on this bike at my local dealership and it’s really nice, great paint scheme and I clearly need to take one for a test ride based on your review!
Yes definitely worth a test ride!
Love that ‘poor brakes are a safety feature’ 😂. However, lovely looking bike, I’d have one in a flash. That looks like a proper cruiser, because it is 👌
Haha! Yes it’s a proper bit of kit.
Excellent review my friends, I just purchased my 2022 Street Bob 114 yesterday afternoon and as you can imagine it was love at first sight when I saw the Mag wheel upgrade, it was a done deal!!! Looking forward to put some miles on it here in the beautiful Colorado Landscape!!!
Awesome! Let us know how you get on with it bro
Just bought one in orange, as you said “this is brilliant bike”! I also have 2020 Fat Bob and an Indian Scout, so ‘Bobber’ it is for me! Thank you for an excellent review!
Awesome! Thanks buddy 💯
I’ve got the 2021 Street Bob, a superb motorcycle. I owned a Yamaha XJR1300SP for almost 17 years with constantly having to lubricate the chain and a pretty clunky gearbox - no such problem with the Street Bob as it has belt drive and an extremely slick gearbox. I was extremely attached to that Yamaha but the Street Bob is far the better motorcycle for the ageing rider that I am with the bolt upright riding position for my problematic lower back. 😀
Yes we love the street bob 💯
I agree with you Darcy, it's the nicest Harley on the road. Hope to see you on one in the future.
You certainly will, fingers crossed 🤞
4:25 thought I was the only was looking at shops reflection when I’m riding 😂😂😂💁🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Haha it has to be done 👍🏼
Great bike! I got last years version. Things that let it down are the the stock pipes. Need something noisy on it...love mine and it gets better with each ride
Yes definitely! Awesome bike 💯
I got the 2021 model with vance and hines slash cuts (along with obligatory stage 1 tune). It feels like a totally different beast
Awesome 👌🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan made the decision after hearing your softail with them!
@@jmaitlandthomas Great!
Picked one up a few weeks ago from Belfast Harley Davidson. Amazing bike, just waiting until I can get the stage 1 on it!!
Will unleash it even more with the stage 1!
Hi thank you for this road test I have one coming next week can’t wait, keep up the fab work
You’ll love it!
Oh man, I love the preview!
Thanks buddy
Just discovered you guys. Nice to see British HD reviewers with good production value. Will be subbing for more content - keep it up!
Thanks buddy! Welcome aboard!
You two give a very thorough review. Great job!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
It's a very cool bike. I have ridden then 107 version and I have needed more power 😂 certainly one of my favorite looking ones out of the range. Good video, guys.
Definitely! Thanks buddy 💯
This a wonderful bike. I just test drove and ordered one in white yesterday. Downsides for me are the handlebars and the seat is terrible. I am changing these parts straight away and it will then be perfect for me 🙂 love your review guys 😉
Awesome! Great news👍🏼
Great review. You can’t go wrong with this bike (completely biased 😊 as a proud FXBB owner). That massive uk licence plate is so unfortunate, though! Good thing the natural good looks of the frame adequately compensate. Thanks guys! Keep these great reviews coming!
Thanks Charlotte! Really appreciate it, you can get smaller licence plates for them but they are technically illegal but that doesn’t stop a lot of us lol 😉
The nail on the head for this street bob good idea to put the 114 in it and nice paint also well done Harley Davidson👍🏻
Yes definitely 👍🏼
Your videos are fantastic to watch. Beautiful motorcycles, gorgeous English countryside settings, and great in depth reviews.
Always a pleasure. 👍 ✌
Thanks buddy 💯
That backrest fits the bike's character really well
Greet to see you guys producing again, keep up the good work.
Thanks! Plenty more to come.
Good luck with your A2 Mr.Darcy....you gonna love the liberation!!
Thanks buddy, I certainly will!
I can already tell you this is gonna be good
👍🏼
Great video!
I do have to say, Darcy, the Street Bob is indeed a good looking bike, but the Fat Bob and Fat Boy are by far the best looking Harleys out right now!
Fair enough, they are stunning but for me the street bob pips it
Great review as always, they certainly are very cool looking bikes. I tried talking to the camera on a tripod today, so much harder than it looks. You do a brilliant job with these. Keen to follow your journey & catch you in person too
Thanks buddy! Haha yes it takes a while to get it right! We’re still trying lol! Keep it up- we enjoy your videos too 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan They look great to me, and thanks that is really cool to hear from a channel I enjoy so much :)
Great video, gorgeous bike. Loving the orange on the fuel tank!!
Yes it looks great!
Great bike, great review as always... my only concern is the brakes which were barely strong enough on 107 and now they're even less effective on 117..shame Harley didn't improve these first. Thanks for the video.
Yes they could be better but it is a safety feature 😇
@@MrDarcy-OlMan the brakes being weak is a safety feature? I suppose cuz ppl would go slower, by which logic no brakes would be the safest feature. Beefing up the engine while keeping the brakes weak would hardly be a safety feature in my opinion.
Picking mine up tomorrow 🤪bike is pretty sweet definitely recommend this bike
Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
I love mine! It’s a lot more fun to pull out of the garage for a quick ride than my Street Glide Special, that’s for the long ride anyhow! Going to try the forward controls and going to add Vance and Hines 2 into 2 Big Radius with a Stage 1 tuner. Safe rides brothers and sisters😁
Yes awesome! Fabulous bike 💯
Great review as always. Cross my fingers for your license Darcy. Finally driving footage from a second bike ;-)
Thank you! Can’t wait it’ll be epic!
Great video guys. Picked mine up beginning of March after upgrading from an 883 and haven't looked back. The engine has taken some getting used to, but it's so much fun! I've put 750 miles on it now and honestly its such an easy bike to live with. Just a shame about the stage one at the moment hopefully Harley will sort something soon, supposed to be getting mine done at the 1k service but seen as though thats probably this month it sounds unlikely :(
Thanks bro! Hopefully the Stage 1 will be available soon. I'd imagine it will be a total bypass and a remap
Very tempted by this bike, only thing I don’t like is the mini apes so would swap them out for something else. Nice review as always.
There’s many other options for bars, thanks buddy!
Great Review.I’m sure it will sell well at the price.The Softail range is very strong.I have a 2020 Sportglide ,and have to agree with your comment about the gearbox being smoother,also neutral is easy to find.Very strange(but great) for a Haley.
Totally agree
Great review as always lads!
Thanks very much!
I’m thinking of adding one of these to my stable. It’s a really nice bike.
It sure is lovely!
I love the old school 1 on the tank...kinda wish my Road King had a version of that on the bags or something...that's one thing this bike is missing & that's bags...I always have stuff to carry, & I just can't get along without some bags, but aside from that & a luggage rack to bungee a pack to for trips & forward controls for me, I'm not tall, but I got bad knees, so I need to stretch out...I love those old school dust boots on the forks too...great looking bike!
Yes they nailed the styling with this one for sure 👍🏼👍🏼
You know, I'm trying to follow in Schwarzenegger's footsteps and save my money to buy real estate early on. You make it difficult.
It’s tough to resist lol
Accurate and great review as always boys! The Coolest motorbike on the street? I think you may be right. Looking forward to the longer review. The only challenger I see in this class has to be the new Indian Chief Dark Horse - which also is pretty cool.
Yeah, the Indian is nice, but definitely my third or fourth choice.
Yes absolutely. Hopefully we’ll get the Challenger soon
Great review guys . I test drove this model two weeks ago and really did enjoy it, especially the pick up which literally is like riding a horse that’s decided to break loose. I however found one really annoying thing that at slow speeds the steering of the bike was really heavy and difficult. In comparison the Low Rider S was a dream and the Heritage classic was much, much smoother . In the end I decided to order a Softail slim . Unfortunately I couldn’t test drive it because it’s sold out in Cologne and there’s a waiting list . Which brings me to a request , if you agents could review a Softail slim in the months ahead then I’m sure many would benefit but I sure would appreciate it 🙏🏼 🍻. Keep up the great work !
Thanks buddy. We found the steering fine. Maybe the front tyre was low on pressure. We really want to get the slim to review so hopefully it will happen soon
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thanks very much 🙏🏼
Love this reviews. Good job.
Thanks buddy 💯
Prefer my 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport! Just as cool and only 3.5k. Keep up the good work fellas!
Haha yes cool 👍🏼
VERY NICE REVIEW ON THIS BEAUTIFUL BIKE.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice review. Mine is a '21 and same color. Right away I changed the seat to a Saddlemen and installed Vance and Hines pipes. It's loud and comfy!
I LOVE this bike. I'm getting one this summer!
Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼
that orange tank graphic and the 114 makes that bike, if where mine i would put hollywood bars and leave the rest.... if darcy needs a 107 dont overlook the lowrider,- it rides nice and is as well equipped as most others..
Awesome isn’t it! Thanks buddy 💯👍🏼
Awesome! I love this bike!!! Best review I’ve seen! ❤️❤️
Thanks! 💯
Really enjoying the videos, men, I wondered where yall are from?
Kind of remind me of me and my son for some reason. Even though I'm a 61 yearold Texan and Texan is my first language, I can understand almost everything you say!! LOL
I'll see about a T shirt soon and represent you here.
That’s great Roger thanks! Were in the county of Leicestershire and Rutland in England UK. We’re moving soon - all will be revealed in July
I just really wish they had kept the iconic twin-bob tank on the Street Bob. I still have my old Dyna Bob, and it just has so much more presence and the lines are more pleasing. The tiny tank really makes the new one's seem so much less 'Harley' to me, though I fully acknowledge that objectively, they have improved the riding experience.
Thanks for your points bro 💯
Demo’d the Standard and LOVED it! These must be beasts 🤘🏻😁
Absolutely!
I would love one with flat handle bars awesome looking bike
You can get them for it!
Neally bought one, great fun to ride, but not ready to take Harley plunge, ended up with a new Africa Twin.
Ahh OK: a bit different! Maybe next time 👍🏼
Nice bike. Looking forward to your review of the Pan America.
Thanks, yes we are looking forward to seeing what it’s like!
Thats a beauty, better looking than the softail standard to me
It is very nice indeed!
Nice video. I don't like the digital instrument, preferred the clocks on the tank of the Low Rider. Shame they discontinued it. Also thought the longer rear mudguard with the number plate above the light looked better, more Harley. Otherwise a great bike.
Thanks for sharing 💯
I have seen this bike, I have sat on this bike, I have drooled over this bike.
When I told the salesman that I was interested, he drooled over me ...
yuk, that's when I left.
Maybe next time.
S
Really that’s not good, maybe try another dealer lol
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I really do like this bike. I thought seriously about selling my '18 Limited for this, but the wife needed a RE Himalayan and I bought a KTM 390 Adventure to keep up with her so ...
like I said,
maybe next time.

Awesome bike and review. It's a lot better looking than the Iron 883, in my opinion. That thing looks like a metalic bull. This looks more classic and elegant. The handlebar however looks a bit too high kinda like a bmx bicycle but other than that, it is beautiful.
Thanks buddy! Yeah we think it’s stunning. We also rather like the mini apes.
A beautiful bike but Harley definitely has some serious competition with the new entry level Chief 116, especially with those mag wheels. You should get some shots of that bike two-up - Old Man & Son Inc. Appearance wise I quite liked the sissy bar style.
Yes definitely! We’ll see what we can do 👍🏼
With Indian's past, I wouldn't consider them to be competitive. Remember, Victory was supposed to be the Harley killer, and Polaris pulled the plug.
Just me, but I won't take Indian seriously until they stay in production for at least 10 years.
Great review!
Thanks mark!
Realy nice bike esp with the new 114 on it. I could have saved alot off cash with this bike instead off the breakout when I think about it. I would change the handlebars to a more dragbar style. And about the ecu you can change and put on a pair off slip on exhaust for a start and as so long you dont change the stock airfilter it will be fine and the main thing most off want is a better sounding motorcykle. Could be a god thing the first two years not to tune it becouse HD will notice any changes in the ecu when your dealer connect it to the HDs server and flag the motorcykle/engine and end the warranty.
That’s very true a pair of slip ons would certainly suffice!
Every time I wish I was taller (Im 1.78m/5'83 ft) I come to see the Ol man being a massive muscular dude on this enormous bikes and notice how they Look small and the feeling goes away. I Wonder how comfortable they are after a while.
A few adjustments and it would be way more rideable for me. A better seat, forward controls, small windshield...
That’s what’s great about a Harley, you can make it how you want it!
Awesome guys! Love it.
Thanks Oliver!
What do you mean you can't stage 1 it, it comes stock with a stage 1 filter. I have one and I recommend adjusting the rear brake pedal for more leverage, it helps slightly, the front brakes are grabby, adding a bung king crash bar looks cool and provides nice protection, wish the stock tank held more gas than 3.5 gallons, if you tend to get on it and wind it out when scootin' you'll be refilling a lot more often. I added V&H eliminator 300 slip ons to give it a nice sound and swapped the seat out which isn't terrible but I start dancing my butt around on the stock seat on long rides so opted for a saddlemen explorer, also if you're 190 lbs and 5'7 like me, you'll want to adjust the shock to 1 or 2 for a nice softer ride, at 3 setting you feel every pebble.
My wish list is for a control placement that is between the mid and forward, that would make for a WAY more comfortable ride. For me anyway, the pegs begin to hurt my arches after about a 50 mile ride.
Next upgraded needed for highway riding is a windshield for sure, but not a huge one to maintain the cool look of the bob
In the uk and Europe we have to comply with European emissions. this meant we have extra co2 sensors in the exhaust this year and a new cable body for the ecu. All the tuning companies had to make a stage 1 tune that was able to turn the sensors off to prevent the bike flashing up with errors every time you start the thing. They have now made a tune from diag 4 that solves this.
Cannot wait!!!
👍🏼
Top review chaps cheers 👍🏻
Thanks buddy 💯
What a great motorcycle...looks lovely in Black and orange 🍊. Actually there is not much more one would want from a cruiser for the British roads....
Thanks for the review.
Bye Stuart 🙂
Thanks buddy. Yes absolutely 👍🏼
I think I prefer the look of the street bob standard. Wouldn’t trade my current bike for either though.
Hi, any chance of a video on a Kawasaki Vulcan S?
Unfortunately not. Kawasaki aren't the least bit interested!
Harley - Davidson Number 1.🌎🏍🇺🇸🦅
#Freedom.🗽❤
absolutely!
Already bought that bike. Can‘t wait till it’s july and i will receive this Beauty :(
Fantastic! 💯
Great review.... I reckon stage ones our over.. the new normal,,,, hope I'm wrong
Yes we were wondering about that too 😞
I have 2019 FXBB with 107 and it is spectacular bike, I would love to try this gorgeous one with sharper teeth :D
Both awesome bikes! Worth a testride to compare
A lovely looking bike......but yes, that exhaust sound needs rectifying!!!
Should be easy to do once they sort out the ecu problem!
You don't need to wait. Just get some Cobra Race Pros.
That'll do ya.
;)

I use bike to go at work so you think is best street bob 2021 or low rider s 2021? i lives in Milan so i ride in city and in highway too
We prefer the Street Bob 👍🏼
Very good reviews as always..
Do u do Guzzi's?..Ride safe 😀.
Thanks! We’d like to do guzzis but they don’t seem to be interested!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan too bad..u would think every bit of air time would help get the word out..they r unique..ride safe boys!!😀
At 4.36 - great comedy- 😂👍🏻
Lol 😂
The Fat Boy 114 is still the better looking Harley for me!
That's just what we've got coming on Wednesday this week!
I tell people I'm 6'2", but I'm only 5'6".
Really awesome bike ❤️ the orange and black and the sissy bar 👍
Looks great doesn’t it!
As far as Harleys go, this isn't even the coolest one of those. I much prefer the Fat Bob. I don't like the handlebars or the spoked wheels on the Street Bob. The engine looks great, and I'm sure the torque is brilliant. But the weight! I like the sissy bar. Great to attach luggage to. The bike really does suit you, though, Ol' Man., but aren't you a bit cramped with those long legs? 36''?
Doesn’t feel cramped at all, and fair enough about the fat bob. Style is subjective at the end of the day.
I'm in the process of buying one in the US. This bike seems like tremendous bang for your buck. What do you think of the passenger pillion? I know it's probably the least concern but it felt like a rock (although I didn't sit on it.) Love your vids!
Thanks buddy! We thought the pillion pad was fine. Not perhaps for 100’s of miles trips but perfect for short rides etc.
Great review as usual on a stunning looking bike, on this bike my first MOD would be a second brake disc on the front wheel that should have really been there before it left the factory in the USA, after that V@H short shots and a Screaming Eagle Air Filter sorted
Can you explain what the UK A2 Bike licence is? Is it structured to have a certain power bike over certain years as a beginner ect?
Very much like these.. thinking it will be my next bike.. shame I only just bought my other new bike a few months ago 😅👌
They’re great bikes, if you stroll down our videos we made a video explaining all the licenses, it’d take me half an hour to type it all… lol
Great video! Would you go with this over the Fat Bob?
To be honest the Fat Bob would suit the Ol’ Man and the Street Bob Darcy.
Just bought one in this colour.
Congratulations!
