I agree 100%. It's refreshing to be able to buy a bike that's NOT loaded down with all the extras. Not everybody wants to pay for all that extra stuff. Some people act like "standard equipment" is thrown in for free. No dummies, that increases the price of the bike. Let the guys who want those extras buy the next model up.

I love everything about my 2021 Street Bob in Deadwood Green. I have the laced chrome spokes. They give the bike that classic American cruiser vibe. I also added forward controls, an H-D solo seat, Cobra Neighbor Haters, LED bullet lights and mustache engine guards. She’s a real beauty!

Finally someone on YT that is speaking sense! I 100% agree with you. So many LRS videos on YT and comparing the SB saying it needs this and that. If they had the same specs it would be the same bike. I try not to watch Videos on the LRS anymore there is just so many. The SB is the better bike in looks and everything imo. 👍

Great video. I bought the street bob for the stripped down look and feel. If I go on a longer trip I slap a gas bottle to the sissy bar. Brakes work fine on the lighter bike. Handling is great.

Absolutely nailed it with this. If I wanted a high performance cruiser I would’ve gotten the low rider s but I want a low slung bobber with comfort so I went with the street bob. The stupidest argument is the price one, “for what you’re paying it should have this this and this” well the low rider s is more expensive for a reason…

I agree in your viewpoint, Jawn. The bike is what it is. The factory makes different models for different tastes and requirements. It isnt a GSXR 1000; no NEED for inverted forks or massive brake power. The setup on the bike is fine. Don't need a 6 gallon gas tank! I don't tour with a group of Gold Wings. (No offense to the GW). I LIKE the little gauge; speedo and fuel level. Less things to break too. The Street Bob had some paint and styling differences from on of my favorite bikes; the Softail Standard. I liked the bright finishes and gloss black paint. It is like the Street Bob just a cool bike to top off the tank and just ride. It's your bike. It has to only satisfy one person. The owner. Ride safe.

I'm 66 years old and a Harley Bagger guy but I bought a 2023 Street Bob 114 in August 23 over here in South Korea where I live and work and I absolutely LOVE it! I got my first Harley in 75 on my 18th birthday and have been riding Harley's ever since. It was an AMF Harley Davidson Sportster 1000. I always wanted another Sportster but they are just too small for me at 6'2 and 230lbs. My other two bikes back in the US are a 2012 Harley Street Glide and a 2004 Big Dog custom (Bulldog Model). So I call my Street Bob my "Big Guy" Sportster. It has lots of power and torque too, so hold on if you jump on one and are used to riding older model Harley's.

Okay, I know I'm a little late commenting on this post but I need to throw in my 2 cents worth here. I own the 2021 SB and I've thrown quite a few mods at it but that's what makes it mine and it still doesn't look like the LRS. My 114 was crap off the showroom floor and after we figured out what was wrong with it I ended up with a 122 ci. for less than 400 bucks out the door. The rear brakes on the SB suck and you can easily overpower the traction of the front tire with the single rotor setup. My solution was adding the Arlen Ness 6 piston differential bore caliper and bracket to the rear wheel. You can easily screw up with this setup but in combination with the single front rotor you now have reduced braking distance comparable to twin front rotors and it looks bad ass. Just my first hand opinion on this subject.

I have a 2019 Street Bob that I bought used. There are forward controls on it that I really like. The main thing that I hate is that cheap uncomfortable seat they put on it. That is my only big complaint on it.

As a counterargument, the price between the Lowrider S and the ST is literal thousands and the only difference is a fairing and saddlebags. So while you may have to add shit to the S it will almost certainly end up being cheaper than factory customization of the ST. I also have a '22 Street Bob and would much rather add aftermarket parts that I choose myself than let Harley put what they think is cool on the bike then tax me like crazy for it.
