[@brentbandy3566]

I own a street bob and I agree that the “out of the box” features are better on the LRS than the street bob but I disagree with customization. I’d say the SB is more of a blank canvas than the LRS for customization.

[@cisa1622]

SB is easier to customise- the longer cable make customisation easy( reduce cost). The smaller tank + smaller fenders and leaner looks make it look great and younger( the mag wheels is a good change- life is easier). I sometimes feel LR looks like dad bike( bulky). The shock on new LR 2022 is available in the catalogue for all softail model ( anyway who buys Harley crap shocks for softails or touring). The gauges in street bob is cleaner. The tank with just the fuel cap SB is again cleaner looking. The rake if street bob is more leanings toward highway stability + the lighter weight and front end makes it nimble. The dual disc is and inverted forks is missing and LR 2020 is having an advantage( even more with 117- like if you want more power) . From value for money perspective definitely SB wins. Marvel kid your bike looks good( maybe you try the SW MOTECH saddle bags with SLC quick release mount- just a thought). if I ever buy a low rider S I will chop those rear fenders ( tail end) parallel to stock line under the blinkers - replace the rear section lights with something like beam shaped integrated turn lights + brake lights.

Just got a great deal on a new black 23 lrs, spent the same again easily on doing a stage 4 kit and all the club style mods. Got money from my brother’s estate after he took his own life 2 years ago on the 31st of January. I know he’d have loved the bike and I’d give it all back instantly to have him back.

[@doctordennis69]

I enjoy and appreciate your videos. I owned a 2023 HD Streetbob and still own a 2023 HD Breakout. But the Streetbob was my very first HD ever. I loved it, and it was an amazing motorcycle. But after a few months with the Streetbob (and because I've owned dozens of sport bikes) I wanted to upgrade to the Low Rider S. It was mostly for the 5 gallon gas tank and 117 motor. I traded it my Streetbob for a 2024 Low Rider S last month. For some strange reason, although the Low Rider S is the superior bike, I felt like the Streetbob was a lot more fun to ride; more simple and more "heart" if that makes any sense. Perhaps it was the look, or the mini-apes, or how quick and nimble it was. But I still feel like it was a good trade. To any potential buyers out there in the market for a Streetbob or Low Rider S, I recommend the Street Bob for leisure and city-riding, and the Low Rider S for longer rides.

I think I test rode that same LRS at Bergen Harley, like I put all 12 miles on it. I’m hooked. Agree with your assessment at the end. It’s a hooligan. Too much money, but YOLO. Thanks for the work, man.

[@breedlofam]

Love the LRS, just don't love the price. For me, the Street Bob was the better choice to get the build I wanted. I'm in Texas and never heard the term Club Style before, but that's the direction I went. The only two things I'm still working on is the 124" upgrade and 5 gallon conversion with dual gauges. Winter project, because I can't miss a week+ riding waiting on the engine and paint.

[@rob7105]

I think the street bob is a better looking bike but the 117, inverted forks, dual disc's and bigger fuel tank I get why the preference goes to the lowrider. Also the wheels on the streetbob are still a bit questionable they might grow on me over time.

[@wyateerp1]

I bought a 2023 FXBBS ,luv it. Small Memphis shades up front. Viking bags and a Saddleman two up with Back bar. In Black. The instrument cluster is just that. A Cluster Phuq. But I Love the bike. Wish it had the inverted front suspension, but I can change that later. Next up is a new cam chest .

I own the SB and liked it more for comfort due to the fact that I'm 6'4. I just wish it came with a 5 gallon tank but then again I like to stop after 150 miles. Love your video and please keep them coming. Thanks.

[@robertherrick6703]

I wish it had a 5-gallon tank too. Now that they got rid of the regular Low Rider, the Softail Slim, & the Sport Glide, there are fewer bikes in that category that have 5-gallon tanks...and they're all $20K after dealer fees & taxes :(

[@motorcyclemonkey411]

I have that exact same bike in my garage. (Low Rider S) It was delivered Sunday. Excellent bike. Great review.

[@Texas_JohnQ]

So glad I found this video. You nailed it right on the head. Looking to get something bigger than my sporty and these are the bikes I've zeroed in on. Gotta be those colors too. Thanks for the comparison. Leaning towards the low rider s, but that street bob is so clean.

[@bigsimpd]

I owned the Street Bob as well. Loving my new Low Rider S both are great bikes

[@greysea4841]

Would be great to see the street bob paint scheme on the LRS.

[@mektrik]

Very Nice review! I love both bikes but I own the 2019 street bob and love it.

Thanks man

[@hsv215i]

I test rode a Lowrider but bought the Street Bob. Lowrider is a sweet ride but the Street Bob was a much better value for money proposition.

[@AG-33-]

Just picked up a 2022 LRS tonight. That 117 is awesome. Very restricted from factory but it’s going to wake up nicely I’m sure. 💪

I want to get rid of my street glide for a streetbob, I don't do long distance ride, will i regret it?

[@cdub.91]

Better mag wheels, inverted forks, 117 motor, 5gal tank, longer shock, full rear fender, 180 rear tire. The low rider s has nice upgrades. The street bob is nice but needs a 13” shock. It’s way too low. Real FXR / old school harley vibes though. Would probably be a ripper with a 13-13.5” shock.

[@fxlrroger.742]

Too bad cruise control been on back order form Harley. Currently on the website days back ordered 18 weeks. Great review!

[@TheDans7300]

Now that the Street Bob has the mags I really dig it. I think that's the real sleeper is the standard. I'd get that over both these because of the bang for buck.

[@christopherstrange3430]

Sick build

[@JorgeSeguraArt]

I don’t like how the LRS dips me down in the seat. The SB sits me upright like a Dyna. The rear fenders are different which differentiate the seating posture. I bought the SB and it’s been real good to me. The mods for it are endless.

Great review MK87 👍

[@MK87_]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@drainmonkeys385]

I’ve got both… But honestly. If you can’t afford or can barley afford the lowrider…. Just go with the street Bob.. get a fairing. Swap out the rear shock and you’ll be feeling better than the lowrider as far as suspension goes.. and you’ll have money left over for other aftermarket parts… throw on some Vance and Hines grenades or tab zombies and you’ll have a true Harley

[@S_Farrell]

Is that the Road Warrior Fairing? from Memphis shades?

[@enrico1856]

Street bob hands down. Value for money

[@Stuartrecardo]

Nice comparison, I choose my Lowrider mostly due to the size of the tank... 5 gallons to go the distance and keep up with anyone on a bagger I ride with, My first bike had a 3 gallon tank and refueling every 100ish miles was tedious whenever I wanted to go chase the horizon. Love your Styled Lowrider and can't wait to have the spare funds to upgrade mine to the one I dream of as I browse the parts catalogues and youtube channels full of amazing options.

[@pmh1nic]

I have a 2022 Lowrider S. At 5'6" with a 29" inseam I can flat foot the bike but the reach to the handlebars was a stretch. I opted for 12" mini apes from Dominator and it put the bars in a comfortable position for me. For a stock bike the M8 117 is a beast. From stop to about 3,800 rpm it pulls and pulls. In 5th gear at 70mph the engine is smoothly humming and you don't feel the need to put it in 6th. Twist the throttle to pass someone and you're at 85-90 in a couple of seconds. I'm sure touring bikes are better but the suspension is robust and I've never been jolted by a bump in the road. A couple of hours in the saddle doesn't leave you butthurt. If you're a solo rider with no need to carry more that you can comfortably put in a backpack it's a great bike.

[@YehBoiRomar]

Just picked up my 22 Street bob. If FXLRS was in stock. I would’ve taken it

[@mikewin7056]

I have a Street Bob and it's a WAY better canvas than the Low Rider S, because it's cheaper and the parts are more applicable than the LRS's parts-the tank, for example, gets more aftermarket love despite being smaller! I've swapped out very little besides the suspension, but I get a good price whenever I list something... Also, with the Fox shock and forks, it's a fucking sweet ride! You don't have to touch the engine, either, it makes plenty of power and enough noise in stock form... But it opened up QUICK off just an intake and exhaust!

[@THORVL1]

I jave a streetbob 107 for three years. Tested the streetbob 114 2022 and the low rider s 2022. Staying with my streetbob 107. Both 2022 models are better, but not so much better as they cost.

[@cj_protein]

I gotta get those updated wheels for my street bob

[@MK87_]

👊🏽

[@carlos_o2346]

The dual disc compared to single is a marginal difference if any. Inverted forks become trivial as you would upgrade your suspension. The FXBBS is much easier to modify and comparatively more aftermarket options available. Buying 1st gen 117 model is in FXRLS questionable. Can build 131 on the lightest chassis. Better bang for your buck in the end.

[@zachhussain3864]

where can i find the crash bars that you have on your low rider s

[@MK87_]

Bunk king crash bar

[@tinman3586]

The Street Bob has way better color options and graphics than the LRS. The Gauntlet Grey looks better than Gunship Grey. I don't think the 117 vs 114 is that big a deal, especially if you stage 2 the SB. However my vote goes to the LRS. It is a better overall value I think as long as the dealership doesn't slap on some ridiculous markups.

[@wyateerp1]

Street Bob looks cooler but there's where it stops. The LRs is superior, practically and in performance. Seems not many folks are talking about the Heritage these days.

Heritage is getting priced too close to the Road King and Standard Electra Glide. People bought them when they where $5k less than a touring bike.
