Harley-Davidson Street Bob Softail 107 Review with Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 slip-ons and Stage 1

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We review the 2020 Harley Davidson Street Bob 107 which has V&H Eliminator 300 slip ons and a Stage 1 upgrade/tune.
We put the bike through it's paces on all roads and at all speeds to give you the info you need!
We look at the engine, gear change, brakes, suspension, seating position, styling, sound from the aftermarket exhaust slipons, value for money, fuel economy, rake and trail and more!
Just how good is this bargain priced softail?
We also have a quick look at the new Harley-Davidson Softail Standard (what a dumb name!).
Thanks to Sycamore Harley-Davidson in Uppingham for the loan! www.sycamorehd.co.uk

    Hi From Canada....really like your reviews...your approach of filming the reviews is the best...showing few riding clips and then talking about it by parking the bike....that's a great thing....

    As an X Harley rider (for 20 years 13 years ago) I went in to the dealer for a look at the new Standard, the chromed Street Bob. The salesman said, looking at my streetfighter Honda parked outside the showroom "This bike can brake, cut corners and is quite fruity" Well, with those words at the back of my head I gave it some beans. And I must say, I was quite impressed! Silly handlebar and the bike I tried had that forward feet setup which I don't like. But the engine really revved up easily. I really liked it!

Also, that new mic you're using is very different, but in a good way. With my terrible hearing, it makes hearing the kid much better. That place you guys film at is outta control.

At least I’ll have the massive torque going for me. Thanks also for the heads up regarding the kick stand. Other KZreadrs have had their bikes falling over as well. Definitely a problem HD needs to address. Perhaps an aftermarket version exists ?

    I can't understand why Harley don't offer from the factory mid or forward (or extended forward) controls on each and every Softail? In Australia it's about $1000 to change them on top of an already very expensive bike! To pay $1000 to change them on a Softail Standard is a big % of the new bike price. Seems crazy to me.

    Very impressive bike for weekend trips & around town. V & H pipes should come standard, give the bike character cred. I'd add a set of Z bars and a second disc. A comfier seat with more padding, support wouldn't go astray. Sport Glide you tested previously is my favourite.

    The best buy is the standard because it's a plain canvas but the Lowrider is the best buy if you don't want to change everything. I bought a brand new 2019 Lowrider with ABS for $13500 out the door. I bet not many people in the world did better than that. Biggs Harley Davidson in San Marcos CA is a great dealership. They saved me thousands of dollars and treated me with respect.

    I’ve had my Softail Street Bob for nigh on three years now & it’s probably the nicest & most fun bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve ridden many bikes in the last 40 years (dear Lord where has the time gone?) Japanese & German mostly, but none have put a smile on my face as consistently as the FXBB. My first HD was the Iron 883, which is for many the ‘gateway drug’ & it was a lovely bike, but my local dealer (what an apt description 😄) made me an offer I just couldn’t refuse. Heck, even the missus said I should go for it (& she normally balks when I start looking at a new car or another guitar). So, in conclusion, all I’d say is try one, you might like it. Chin chin 🥃.

Turns out this Street Bob is a super nice bike. That said, it's a bit knees-up for me. Even watching you, mate, I like how you look on the Heritage much better. That bike fits you very well. You chose wisely there. I prefer that one as well, truth be told. But for someone not as big as us, this is a great option. Anyway, thank you for these great videos. Cheers! And...

Had them throw in forward controls if I bought it. Superb bike done a few mods since. You’ll see it on my channel picture. It had 750 miles on it when I bought it btw.

Rather than looking down at the bike so much. Yes the bike is not as heavy as some others but just try backing it out of a back yard onto a badly cobbled entry. That 600+ lbs can be hard work.

    I'm really divided here @MrDarcy&theOl' Man . I'm waiting on the snow to melt in Cologne, Germany so I can head over to HD and buy my first bike in April. I'm excited as hell about the new Street Bob with the 114 engine. The dilemma I'm faced with is that I'm 5ft 11in and have a regular build (unlike Thor in the video) and have a mental block that I will look too big for the bike and need to buy a fat boy or Road King classic. But those two are a good 10k Euro more expensive. Considering I'm going to be doing mostly inner city drives to clear my mind and the occasional 3 hour drive to the Dutch coast on Summer weekends I feel I should go for the Street Bob. What's your view on the dilemma I'm faced with ? Mental block or valid concern.
