2022 Street Bob Test Ride & 1st Impressions - How Does It Handle At 100 MPH

[@J0eBrian]

I test rode it recently and was impressed with not only how powerful it is, but how light and stable it is as well. The gas tank really isn’t a dealbreaker. It’s not like I’m going to take it to LA or Reno.

[@InfamousCreep]

It's a nice bike, I'm a big fan of the styling and actually preferred the spoked/laced wheels. You might not be riding to LA now, but could be in the future. It's a deal breaker for me, and they should've keep it at 4.7 gallons

[@nickthinkpainting1978]

@@InfamousCreep when you've been riding for 50 years you don't mind stopping for gas to stretch your legs and back ... Plus its very light the older you get the heavier everything seems.. Clubstyle this bike out its like a modern day dyna or fxr..

[@iironwarrior]

I was initially leaning to the lowrider S, but after seeing the Street Bob I was convinced this was the bike for me. I like the fact that it is lower and has a great stance.. I also like the wheels. I wasn't a fan of the bronze. low rider S wheels. Then the simplicity of it is another great factor. Love the mini apes as well.

[@dgross2009]

Block out that speedometer. Ha Ha and then announce what speed you reached? I'm jealous. I'm waiting for 40 degree weather here in Philly to break my 20 Street Bob out of the garage. My heated gear came in handy shoveling snow in 15 degree weather last week though.

[@InfamousCreep]

Only a few weeks away, hope spring comes sooner than later for ya folks up there.

[@StreetBob-tn1ed]

mine only dose 122 i think there is some sort of limiter on it

[@charlesharper7292]

There is. Factory set. I've been 170plus on Suzuki's big fish. 120 on the FXBBS is fast enough.

[@joeplem5329]

I love the new colors for this....but not enough to "trade up" my 2011 dyna street bob with the SE 110 tire shredder kit (106hp/122tq)

[@InfamousCreep]

I like the red one, and I like the tank badging. Definitely not worth the trade-in if I had the same bike as yours. I would probably consider the FXLRST

[@musclecarsdaily3020]

put the same kit but made for a 114 and it’ll make probably 120hp

[@YerGoodBuddyKeith]

I'm on track to trade my honda shadow in along with some cash next spring after some credit building and saving. The bike was perfect on a test ride. As far as gas goes i plan on buying a sissy bar mounted spare fuel can. They're cheap and low profile. Bolt it on and head to texas. 5 gallons total shouldn't leave me stranded. I'm very excited

[@randyclark7540]

Are you nor suppose to take the rain sock off if you test ride?

[@InfamousCreep]

It was raining that day, and I was caught 3 times in the rain while riding bikes.

[@bajamedic]

Are you in Lathrop at Eagles Nest.

[@InfamousCreep]

Yep, they had tacos too. Great event 😎👍

[@silverrambo1508]

InfamousCreep, what is your choice regarding colours of the new FXBB? I am fighting myself between red and blue.

[@InfamousCreep]

I love the red and metallic gray. I'm not a huge fan of the color blue

[@knives7876]

How is the hear coming off the engine? Does it get too hot?

[@InfamousCreep]

M8's run cooler than twin cams. I ride my LRS all the time in summer no problem. My EVO runs at 340 degrees in summer, and that's hotter than the M8. You also have a oil cooler on the M8.

[@Adrien_Jr]

I recognized that dealership bro! Eagles Nest right down the street from my house in Lathrop! 🙌🏼 lol can’t wait to buy my first bike!

[@InfamousCreep]

It was an awesome event, they also tacos for sale too. It's a good location 👌

[@zackadams419]

Would you say this is a good first bike? Love the styling and look. A Harley salesman said not to be intimidated by the engine size bc the power is pretty smooth. What are your thoughts. Is it bullshit?

[@InfamousCreep]

I would say yes, but I would still recommend something used instead. Something you can modify and wrench on. Build confidence working on the bike and not worry about scratching the paint. The bike is also 650+ lbs, so your confidence might take a minute to build up for low speed handling.

[@valet132011]

Looked at a red one yesterday. Absolutely love that bike. Seriously thinking about trading my 07 Softail Standard.

[@InfamousCreep]

I'm a huge fan of the red Street Bob, it's a good looking bike. I love the bike, blacked out components, mids, and the ape hangers feel great. Just the smaller tank is a huge draw back for me.

[@Thisdude1227]

When u can get a 117 lowrider for about the same price it's worth it harley said its like 9k to do a 117 kit on a 114 street bob crazy prices

[@MikeBobpokie]

Here in Australia there s $9000(6300 US) difference between the streetbob and lowrider s, you can't 2up the low rider stock , lots you can do with the 9k . Streetbob looks pretty gd value to me

[@InfamousCreep]

It's $3000 difference between both bikes, but if the rider doesn't care for inverted forks, ABS, 5-gallon tank, and dual disc brakes, then the Street Bob is perfect. I have a whole video about Street Bob vs a Low Rider S.

[@abnormallygifted1541]

@@InfamousCreep Its like they mixed matched performance parts between the two bikes. I like the 117 but would settle for the 114. Not much of a difference there. Prefer street bob bars and Speedo but like the inverted forks on the Lowrider S. Speaking of the bars, would anyone have a clue about the Speedo fitment of the street bob with 1.5" Carlini's? Almost like the bar setup would work with the Lowrider S easier.

[@colinoz]

@@MikeBobpokie where'd you learn maths? Aus prices are: $30,750 Lowrider S $26,250 Street Bob $4,500 difference.. But I agree, I think the street bob is still more value for the money

[@MikeBobpokie]

@@colinoz oops the ST was the price I used

[@charlesharper7292]

I got the red one. Love the bike. Wish it had dual front disk brakes.

[@InfamousCreep]

Congrats on the new bike carnal, you made the right choice. I like both red and metallic gray colors.

[@Vellisaden0207]

Just rode that blue one . So nice !!!

[@dunn-do]

How was the display in direct sunlight?

[@InfamousCreep]

It's not that good, but you can make out some numbers.

[@masonking6439]

Is it hard to read the speedometer on it? Thing looks pretty small

[@InfamousCreep]

I don't remember even paying attention to it, honestly. It might be difficult to see at times for sure, but not a deal breaker. Just keep up with the flow of the traffic.

[@dmvbenz7536]

Do you think someone 6’1 with long arms and legs would be comfy on this bike? I want the low rider s it’s my dream bike but it def is way more expensive than the street bob so the bob would be my 2nd choice

[@InfamousCreep]

it's worth the extra $3k, you get dual disc brakes, ABS, 5-gallon tank, taller suspension and a 117. Save up the $3k carnal and get the LRS 117.

[@Rubiodiamante]

I have the 2021 Street Bob and it’s my first Harley. I had the HD forward controls and the HD Mustache engine guards fitted before the delivery. I am 6’2” with 34” inseam. I still felt cramped on the bike. I purchased the HD Tallboy two-up seat and wow, what a feeling! I now love my bike and look forward to the spring and summer. Having snow is cool but not for motorcycling.

[@paulhorvath9784]

Had my 2020 fxlrs at 122 mph / 196 km,pH Easy and roughly somewhere above 4500 Rpm..She still had heaps ..STOCK ! .Thus governor NOT Limiter was bout to kick in .

[@InfamousCreep]

DAMN, nice to hear she can take it. I wouldn't do those numbers on a Death Wobbling Dyna hehe.

[@TEAMALSTARE]

i like the old 2021 wheels way more!

[@InfamousCreep]

Same, I also prefer the spoke/laced wheels but I also like the tubeless mag wheels. I wish it had a different mag wheel design, maybe the roadster wheel design

[@rayspasov1398]

I just picked new 22 streetbob 114 fast back blue ,got great deal 11,500

[@CodyMcDonald89]

May be stupid question but I’m wanting to stay Harley bit downgrade I guess for less debt lol right now I have a 21 ultra 30k bike bad decision really. But would a street bob work for 2 up riding or a BIG NO

[@TheColtB]

Depends on how big you are and how big your passenger is. I don’t recommend for very long unless you get a better two up seat. That passenger seat isn’t the best.

[@InfamousCreep]

It can be done, maybe a 2-up seat and suspension upgrade. The bike has a passenger seat, but it's not that comfortable for long rides.

[@drainmonkeys385]

I like the color …. The tank size is ok. By the time that’s empty … I need to stretch

[@InfamousCreep]

I feel the same way about my sportster, refueling every 80 miles is welcomed riding without wind protection.

[@cisa1622]

The value for money from Harley softail range 114

[@InfamousCreep]

It's a complete bike, don't need much after some decent pipes.

[@cisa1622]

@@InfamousCreep I agree…

[@MRGS48]

The best color!! If they only didn’t have those stupid switchback’s rims!!!🤮🤮🤮 I don’t know if money wasn’t a problem you’ll had em all hahah. Good video hermano glad you had fun while getting over the Kungflu. See what clean air does to ya?? Hehe Take care time for me to go ride my old🥺 2020 Road King Special😜

[@InfamousCreep]

It's a nice color, but I prefer the new Redline red. I remember the wheels looking better with a 2 tone color on them. They look blan with just black, loses a lot of detail. But I would rather have the spoked wheels and pay $300 less

[@Libertà_sopra_vita]

"Get up and go" lmao.

[@InfamousCreep]

yep, 670lb bike with 70 horsepower lol

[@casey3609]

Thats a,good Size for me cause I am 5 11 and anyone can handle its much smaller than other bikes now I never rode one before but sure would love to see what its like riding a small bike and it dont sound too loud like fat boy or street guide

[@InfamousCreep]

Typically 6'1"+ riders complain about the mid controls, but I believe it'll fit you well.

[@Drixiod_qc]

Just bought the gauntlet grey :D

[@InfamousCreep]

Congrats vato, the first one they sold at my local dealer was also a gray Street Bob. Great bike 👌

[@tylerthrash3155]

100+ in Mexico in America we dont go that fast 🙄

[@InfamousCreep]

There's a few highways perfect for hundo 😎

[@MrKiedrok]

You didn’t get any where close to 100 mph. You didn’t even pass any cars on the freeway lol.

[@InfamousCreep]

But I did, even if it was for a brief moment. You want to see the speedo, check my IG where I rode them in Mexico 🇲🇽

[@JRMH346]

Yeah he WAS NOT near 100, probably not even over 80

[@Thisdude1227]

Same bike as 2021 only paint and rim change same exact bike

[@InfamousCreep]

Yep, and same feel and sound from 2018. Harley likes to keep the bar low when it comes to expectations lol

[@kirbytrees127]

You can hold er wide at 120mpj she aint goin nowhere, damn ass stable bike at high speeds, the bob is a sporty with a 2000cc motor, best bike harley has made and one of their fastest. 0-60 is 2.4 or less seconds depending on the rider

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Supremebean303]

Coming from an 883 and pushing its limits on the highways at 80-90mph then going to this Is litty tittys lmao. I’m somewhat regretting my pockets but still love It.

[@InfamousCreep]

Specially when it comes to tags and insurance. Both have the sound feel of a Harley but the big vtwins have better handling and suspension from the factory. I still own my sportster and enjoy it from time to time.

[@Supremebean303]

@@InfamousCreep feels. At some point I’m gonna get another sporty but a 1200 they’re great bikes.

[@robbyclark6915]

I have ridden that bike twice now. Once in 2021 when they redesigned it and again a couple of weeks ago on a ‘22 model with a stage 1, and both times I got off the bike thinking the same thing……I just don’t like this bike? It doesn’t feel good to me. I barely even test rode it because I knew immediately I wasn’t buying this bike. Just not for me. Great looking bike and I should like it, but I just don’t.

[@InfamousCreep]

I actually preferred it with the spoked wheels, and the fitment was right for my frame. Just needs some wind protection and it's good. I agree they should've kept the 4.7 gallon tank.

[@SmoothJohnson]

Fits great at 5’7”? So they’re building bikes specifically for women and tiny men? Wtf?

[@InfamousCreep]

Hahaha 😆. It's got mid controls and most riders above 6'2" start to complain about the triangle on these bikes. You could always throw forward controls on these bikes and a tall boy seat.
