    at last ;; people are realising that harley torque and ease of riding is what safer and easier riding is about , i did not like the basic street bob , but when it came out in that paint scheme and the 114 = what a machine ;;;; your beach colour background and shots should do more for sales than harleys own ads ;;; glad your enjoying it ;;

    Great looking bike! You chose well. I have a 2021Road King Special and a Softail Slim. I am seriously looking at the Street Bob to add to my garage! Love the styling and the paint, the 114 has all the power you need! I am in the process of upgrading my sons 883 Iron( which he “traded “ for my Slim🤔. Your Bob is a head turner for sure, lot of envious people out there!
    Ride safe brothers and sisters!

    Slim exhaust down a bit and that would look so sweet! Tank could be a couple liters bigger. Stretched out tank maybe a bit.. Closer to seat and bars if possible to increase range. Cruise control is an added comfort I could appreciate

    I'm trying to overcome my 40 year anti Harley prejudice. The fat boy is probably my favourite of the cruiser type Harley. Think I would need binoculars to see those clocks.
    It would need to be part of my imaginary multi bike garage and come out when I'm in no rush to go anywhere fast but to take in the scenery at a leisurely pace

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  Před 2 lety +1

      Ha, that's fair enough. I read much the same till I rode one. The dash I thought was going to be hard to see but infact it's fine. It's a bright lcd with a light blue background. I can't see anyone not enjoying the Streetbob.

    Good initial review, ER. I had a go on a friend's Dyna Wide Glide a good few years back and I imagined at the time that riding on a dump truck would be very similar experience. No doubt they have improved over the years but they are not for me. What about the fuel economy? Harleys are children of the USA where petrol costs less than Coca Cola.

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  Před 2 lety

      Very true, I was getting 45 to 50, so I guess that's not to bad for a 1850, but still low in 2wheeled terms. Comfort is really good, but not as good as the fatboy but its more realistic for the road. Not saying is but one at 14k but it's lovely to ride, and light too. Your right, fuel prices here is going nuts!

    Thanks ER! Yes, I like it a lot. I’m a Harley virgin but, I’d love a go on one. Do you think 6 footers would find it too short? I’m fairly sure WestonSuperMotoVlog is also 6”+.
    I wonder what it would be like to tour on with some bags 🤔

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  Před 2 lety +1

      Many tour when they have a rear backrest. More coming up on that. Yes the Streetbob caters for all sizes because it's a low seat but has loads of leg room.
