One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on bikes.

I'm not an active nor adamant Harley rider, but out of all the bikes I've tested out from Harley, the Deluxe has got to be my favorite. It's classic looks are gorgeous and it is perfect for just cruising around. It's exactly what I want from a company like Harley.

I got a 2018 Fat Bob; still very happy with IT 👌🏼

It's about time I have been looking for an explanation like that for a while

This is an incredibly well done video and very helpful, thank you for putting this together

Great video with a lot of really good info! Wish I had seen it a week ago! I just bought a 2015 Deluxe. I was on a Street 750 (my first ever bike) which was a blast, but not great on longer rides. I bought the Deluxe bc I thought it would answer my craving for my developing love of longer rides. Being a new rider and new to the riding community, I had no idea about the street glide. Sorta wish I had tested one BUT....I LOVE my Classic so far🥰.

Excellent rundown of the softails ... this new softail platform is extremely exciting and you nicely cleared up the line. Cheers

Tyvm for this. Was looking at picking up a Sportster and then fell in love with the Street Bob. Been riding for 50 years and this will be my first Harley.

Right when I heard that bell sound I was waiting for Hells Bells to start playing by AC/DC..lol

I greatly appreciate the fact based approach you use here. Very informative and very useful.

I always wanted the Softail Slim S. Love the look and thought it was comfy when I took it for a test drive. It will be a bit before I can afford one but I think I'll do a few more test drives before I settle on that decision. Thanks for the video!

What an awesome video. So glad i came across your channel. Love your work mate. Thank you.

I learned to ride two years ago. I bought a iron 1200 (2020) and it's a blast to ride around town on the weekend and riding it to work. When i get that itch for a longer run, I'd say at least a couple hours, my butts hurts after an hour and since it doesn't have cruise control, my throttle hand cramps, so I'm thinking about upgrading to a softail or a street glide. Great informative video. I knew I searched for a blockhead video about this for a reason.

This very informative video sold me on the Sport Glide. I purchased a 2020 and am super happy with everything about it.

Very precise very detailed ! Love the video ! All the best keep doing such videos.

Excellent review. Very comprehensive!. Keep up the amazing work! You have a new subscriber!

I have a 2019 107 street Bob (1st bike). Just hit 1 yr/10k miles with it and I’m still in love!! Awesome beginner bike

I just bought a 2023 Softail Standard. Absolutely love it. Lots of power and a canvass to build it how i want it

Thank you for the very informative video. Keep up the great work. And yes, please do a 2020 Touring video.

I really am digging the softail platforms, man. They ride really good. Insofar as factory bobbers go, I still have yet to see any company pull it off as well as victory with the highball. That is just on a different level. My favorite harley is still the Lowrider S, though. Most beautiful and raw cruiser right out of the box.

Just traded my Roadster for a Low Rider, (I only went to the dealer to book in for a service) just fell in love with it in twisted cherry

Thanks mate! very informative in helping me learn about the various differences.

I just got the street bob on the 3rd of this month at Orlando Harley. As a first time rider, it has a stupid amount of power and I love it. Pro tip put forward controls

Pretty bikes,congrats on 200k.Your channel has almost doubled since FLMM.

Great rundown on the differences. Thanks Blockhead!

Timely video; I've been strongly considering a softail for my vertically challenged self. The Street Bob and Low Rider are contenders due to their mid-controls. Thanks for another thorough review.

Hey man, great vid! How about the touring bikes?

Great job as usual!! I think I might have you narrate my funeral when the day come. 😂 Your stats and facts were spot on!

That Deluxe is lookin mighty fine omg

Another thing about softail is the engine is hard mounted unlike the touring which are still rubber mounted. also some come with the cruise control which is super great. great video.

MAN GREAT JOB!!! I LOVED THE VIDEO!!! VERY INFORMATIVE!!!👍🏽

Thanks for the thorough video 👍🏻 I just bought a very low (~340 miles) mileage 19’ FXDR, wanted a Fatboy or a Fatbob but no luck. I like it so far, but would love to have your feedback regarding any issues or recommended mods. Best regards,,

Well explained on all differences on bikes, I got the 2021 Fat bob. lights, suspension, exhaust, like it!

I test rode the FXDR last weekend, it is a fun bike to ride. Only thing negative i could say is the breather causes your right leg to sit out a bit so you cant hug the gas tank with your knees.

Gotta say I love the Fat Bob, but the FXDR is second on my list

Great review. I just got the sport glide. Almost impossible to find any negative views on it

Between the FXDR and another sporty cruiser I'd have to go with the XDiavel. I have my Springer classic for cruising but yeah, for a sport cruiser I think HD needs to update a bit more.

Excellent video, thumbs up, subbed! My favorite Harley line is the Solftail. My faves, based in my riding style, are in this order: Sport Glide Heritage Classic Fatboy (my fave but less practical for me) Breakout (sexy as hell) Breakout Fatbob FXDR (last but not least)

Well, I wonder if these going to keep the brand alive. Some of them were very nice, but they are also very pricey. I wish Harley-Davidson the best of luck.

The night train was the beat softtail. I've got a modded 06 and I'll never let it go.

Great job on this video. Lots of info to take in.

I don’t know if you still do test rides but I would love to see your full thoughts on the softail slim

Awesome review Loved it very detailed!

Rode the 2019 Fat Bob 114. That's the ride man,that's the ride. You can blast through the two lane blacktop corners with ease. You can grab the throttle on the last 1/3 of the curve coming out and then you're off, blasting down the road. Pricing is a bit steep but this bike H.D. got right. Love the Red and the White.

I just bought the same heritage shown in the video. My first bike and i love it.

I recommend anyone thinking of buying a new Harley to watch this video first before watching any other videos. Nice job Block Head!

Thanks for this video finally. Haha, though I'm still annoyingly torn between a few options

Over here in AZ we can upgrade it to the 114 for the street bob

- Vrod wraith - monoshock alloy girder front end, Link front brake oil pressure to front damping , Link front & rear hydrostatic with bias control. Or go cable cam lever disc.

Prior to my current bike, I had a 2018 Street Bob. I miss that bike on the daily. And for those that miss the Dyna, you may be high on nostalgia... If I could do a second bike, I'd have another in a second.

This was very informative! Thank you! Been watching you for awhile! I'm from Fresno California and the cholo style has been around for along time. Would be awesome if you did that in Florida and did your own thing on a Chicano style Harley. Much love brother!

Thank you soo much. This had been the most helpful for me.

I bet in future there will be tons of different size of after market fuel tanks for streetbob, from 48 size to bagger ones.

Compared to any other person promoting or explaining these Harleys you make me want any of those I do have a favorite

Best explanation of the Softail line I've found 👍👍

Bought the Deluxe, sure rides nice. With the 12 inch apes, fits me just fine.

FXDR has a really futuristic "Day The Earth Stood Still" look. Love it, but I barely have a 27" flat foot, more like a 26".

Good reviews thanks Blockhead!!!

Love the heritage classic 114! Fat boy, fat bob too! I’ll take em all lol. It’s a motorcycle ! Keep up the good work blockhead. Great detailed video !

Good video! Facts presented well and clear.

Lots of high tech Harley machines. But I have a love affair with my 99 EVO powered Softail Custom. And I am 82 years old. I love the simplicity of the carbureted engine and old school technology.

I do like the idea of a lowrider., or sport glide

lets hope they will finally release the monoshock frame on the touring bikes...

I have a 2014 Breakout I bought last month 8/2020 with only 3K miles on it. It looked showroom perfect. it has the 103 though.(I wanted the 114 M-8. but the price was too good to pass on) but that bike still hauls ass and the torque is unreal. I put Vance & Hines Big Radius 2 into 2 chrome pipes on it, as well as all Kuryakyn Zombie Skull foot pegs, brake pad and gear shifter. with chrome turn signal lens covers. this bike is a show stopper. I am constantly being complimented on how badass it looks. and those pipes give it that get the FU^^ out of my way rumble. I will ride this for years. I am very happy with it. only close call was the Fat-Boy. but the breakout wins for me.

FXSTC...I miss the Softail Custom!! Seat and Rake was perfect
