The 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114. (Harley-Davidson/)

Overview

The Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 is essentially a Softail Standard with a larger Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, flashier paint, less chrome, a tiny pillion seat, and fork gaiters. Styling aside, what you're really paying the extra $2,000 for (over the Softail Standard) is the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, which produces a claimed 94 hp at 4,750 rpm and 119 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm—that's 7 additional horsepower and 9 lb.-ft. of torque compared to the Standard's M-8 107. Although, honestly, the "No. 1″ graphic on the tank may be worth the price of admission alone—if you're a Mert Lawwill fan or nostalgic for the glory days of flat-track racing, that is.

The Street Bob 114 accomplishes a couple of things in H-D's cruiser lineup. First, it's a bridge from the "entry-level" Softail Standard to the likes of the pricier Low Rider S and beyond. The Street Bob (and the Softail Standard, for that matter) also goes a long way to fill the minimalist cruiser gap vacated by the Sportster 883 and 1200 series. From the retro, the fat-tired, the slammed and power-mad, and the West Coast–styled, Milwaukee's cruiser lineup is full of strong personalities. The Street Bob anchors the line with minimalist bobber styling that's an enduring classic.

Mid-mount controls don't offer the most legroom for taller riders. (Harley-Davidson/)
