Harley-Davidson has always been synonymous with the classic, no-frills motorcycle scene. And to cater to this crowd, the iconic brand offers the Street Bob 114. With its powerful engine and stripped-down design, this bike is a perfect choice for riders who appreciate the simplicity and rawness of a Harley.
The Street Bob 114 is built on Harley's Softail chassis, featuring a 43 mm coilover monoshock under the seat that maintains the timeless HD frame line. Powering this beast is Harley's 114 ci (1,868 cc) Milwaukee-Eight engine, equipped with four valves per cylinder, electronic sequential port injection, and a combination of air and oil cooling. This single-cam pushrod engine is all about torque, delivering an impressive 119 lb-ft that effortlessly propels even the burliest riders.
Similar to the Softail Standard, the Street Bob 114 sheds all the unnecessary bulky accessories commonly associated with the HD scene. It embraces a minimalistic approach with a 3.5-gallon fuel tank, a single seat featuring a removable pillion pad, bobbed fenders, and a 2-into-2 shotgun exhaust. The overall design exudes the classic, bare-bones Harley aesthetic.
In terms of electronics, the Street Bob 114 keeps it simple. It features standard LED lighting and a small display integrated into the bar clamp, providing essential functions. Even ABS is optional, allowing riders to choose the level of technology they prefer.
When it comes down to it, the 2024 Street Bob 114 offers a significant power upgrade and enhanced image compared to the Softail Standard, all while maintaining the same price as the Sportster S. And most importantly, it embodies the essence of a true bare-bones Harley, ensuring a genuine riding experience for enthusiasts who value simplicity and authenticity.
