IS IT WORTH IT TO GET THE 114 OVER THE 107? | HONEST TEST RIDE & REVIEW

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

When you walk into a Harley-Davidson dealership to buy a new bike, they're probably going to ask you what style of riding you are going to be doing most of the time, as well as what your budget is. Depending on your answers, they're going to point you toward a bike with one of two motors if you want a big V-twin: the 107 or the 114. The question is, is it worth it to get the 114 over the 107? If you've ever wondered if those 7 extra cubic inches of displacement make a difference, this video is here with an answer! I test rode a fat boy 107 and a fat boy 114 to find out if those few extra inches are really worth the premium you'd pay for the upgrade.

    A properly tuned stage 1 107 is all anyone needs. Pulls hard enough to pull you off the seat. So much so that Im considering buying a backrest or step up seat. Street Bob 107 owner. 150 lb. rider. High flow intake, 2 into 1 V&H exhaust, FP3 tuner, custom map, autotuned and tweaks. If I weighed 175lb plus, would consider stage 2 or above. Not necessary for my riding style and weight. Can outpace my friends twin cams and keep up with an Indian Scout. Far more comfortable than a Scout and sounds 1000 times better.

    I've ridden the 114 and 107 in the touring bikes and really didn't notice that much difference. I actually went with the Street Glide standard with the 107 because I like the chrome instead of the blacked out look. If they would have offered the 114 for an additional price over the 107 I doubt I would have paid the difference for it.

    I've had the 2016 103, Road Glide special stage 1 twin cam. When I took it in for a 10,000 mi service I test rode the 2018 107 M8 Road glide could totally feel the difference. upgraded to 114 sump failure at 13,000. H D made it right after 3 months, so in the mean time I purchased the 2019 114 M8 Road Glide ultra upgraded to 117 blew that up at 13,000. HD made it right after 3 months. When I got it back after the rebuild I really liked the power because I didn't have to rev or pop the cluch just roll the throttle and I could burn out or wheelie no problem not to mention that it really came to life at 100 mph. Just traded in for a 2021 M8 Road Glide special snake venom and putting a stage 4 in it, just waiting for CA emissions on the tuner. The moral of the story is yes the 114 in a very different beast. That's my story and im sticking to it.

    Bought a 21 Heritage with the 107, mainly because I liked the chrome vs the black on the 114. After 5000 miles I’ve never said I want more power. I have to say that the 107 is one sweet engine and a real delight to power down curvy back roads. I can see where the 114 would be a good investment on a heavier bagger riding two up, but for me on the lighter softail riding solo the 107 is perfection.

If you think you want a 114 but the 107 suits your aesthetic vibe.. then your going to get more power on the 107… after you make the change. So it won’t be that far off from the 114

    Everyone in the comments talking about how a stage 2 or 3 107 being faster than a stock 114 is a moot point. None of them are really that fast until you put cams, big bore and headwork. Obviously along with the stage 1 parts to go with it. I had a fully built 110 that was dynoed at 117hp/118tq on a CVO superglide years ago and it ripped but was it "fast" by some standards not really once you have been on a 175hp+ bike that weighs just over 400lbs. So its all relative. Ride what you enjoy!

    It isn’t just the size of the motor, but the application. I own a Lowrider S with the 114 and I’ve spent some time on a Street Glide 107. The street glide feels like a Vespa scooter in comparison. The 114 in that application (Lowrider S) feels very muscular. The 107 on the Street Glide feels “adequate” but not impressive.

I can honestly say it is purely preference. The 114 will pull on the 107 in the higher gears that is it. Once you cam out the 114 is when you notice they're having ability to pull the 107 even in the lower gears. It's just by a little but it's definitely noticeable when you're riding amongst other Riders

    Recently I had the opportunity to go back to back on a stock 114 (2020) road glide special vs stock 107 (2021) road glide standard 500+ miles each. The 114's torque difference is noticeable when rolling on throttle (passing for instance). I think the 114 "feels" a bit more effortless when underway and also from a standing start. If you are going to buy a Stock big Harley touring model and keep it that way - either one will do the job, with the 114 having a slightly muscular edge. But let's face it - Harley wants it's owners to invest in Harley performance parts to unlock the potential of both engines which have been hobbled by a combination of emissions and noise regulations - along with lower octane and engineered/"cleaner" pump fuel. For the several thousands of dollars and labor required to significantly increase base level torque and horsepower on both bikes - I think the budget minded rider may want to consider a Stage 3 - 107 as a better value. At some point Harley will succumb to the inevitable and offer its touring models with liquid cooled v-twins producing much higher power and torque in stock form. Heresy to us traditionalists but inevitable nonetheless. My guess is we will see air cooled displacement increases first on Stock models. 114 to 117 or greater on "specials" and 114 becoming the "standard" on touring models. Possibly larger stock displacement on CVO models.

    Numbers are not much different. Theyre Harleys, yes the M8 performs significantly better than the twin cam... but the difference between a 107 and 114 is not very noticeable. I just traded my 21FXLRS for a 23 Road Glide. Given that I had a 2-1 on my FXLRS and it weighs about 200-250lbs less compared to a stock 107 Road Glide i found a bit of a difference. Already ordered a high flow cleaner and 2-1 for the Road Glide. In the end, the difference will be a bit noticeable (mostly due to weight) but not drastic. Some people just have a real hard on over the displacement. If youre worried about performance that much, I suggest another brand. 🤷‍♂️

    I have been looking at some heritage classic models the first is a 2018 heritage, classic with the 107 and it has a little over 17k miles on it and the other one is 2021 heritage, classic with the 114 and it has a little over 7k miles on it and they want 19,000 and 107 with a little over 17k miles they want 15,000 which would be the better bike to purchase and I do ride with a passenger most of the time

    Dude, great information, Well informed. unfortunately your camera work needs help. If your going to wear the camera on your helmet you should move your head more slowly, all the quick side to side movements and quickly looking down is just painful to watch. Maybe you should wear a chest harness for the camera. I only made it 7 minutes in before my head hurt too much from all the sudden movements. Have a great day.

    Always loved my stock Fatboy 110. Guess I should see what the 114 is all about. Did have a low rider with a modified TC engine that I bought for my son whole he was being discharged from the army. I did not like riding it. Always throwing my head back & it was a hang onto the bars experience at every red light/stop sign. Son didn't like it either & traded for a V rod. Moral of the story is it can be easy to over do something to the point of ruining a good ride.

    Without a biased Harley dealer opinion. After break in period, hands down wouldn't get a 107. My buddy had a 107, great until he wanted more. 107, to 124. I rode and helped with the build. My opinion as a mechanic prior (still just not for civilians anymore 🤣) out the gate not really, down the line depends what you want in a engine. It is all meaningless because it's all personal preference. The torque, noticeable, the horsepower, noticeable down the line. Too much to really go into on a KZread video
