2019 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 107 TEST RIDE!

[@stephenfleming7056]

Thanks for all the reviews, just put ordered a 2019 Street Bob. My first Harley :)

[@gigi9467]

Stephen Fleming congrats! Dont ever sell that first harley even if u get a bagger later on u will regret it

[@willydayton1940]

How do you like the bike . I’m thinking about getting one would be my first street bike . Other then dirt bikes

[@theduke4507]

Hey Blockhead, thanks for doing this KZbin channel. You’ve got me into riding and it has been something I’ve wanted to do for a while. It has been something to look forward to in some dark days. My son has Leukemia and watching videos has been something good. Keep up the good work.

[@themarshboss]

Not a fan of the color.

[@skid_mark]

Maybe I'm just weird, but I really like the colour. It goes really well with the black bars, exhaust etc...

[@Yorelz]

I’ve yet to see a street bob look bad in any color

[@aliabbasi1986]

when are u doing new streetbob 114 review????????????????

[@alexandernelson2226]

I have forward controls on my 19 street bob. It makes such a world of difference, the stock seat is even more comfortable once you change the angle of your legs.

[@sutterbthunder6717]

Love the color! I'm so over black bikes! Having a black bike doesn't make you an outlaw or cool. It just makes you like everybody else.

[@ashleywhittington6273]

Great review, I test ride one and bought it straight away the same colour as only one they had in stock. Wasn't sure of colour but really grown on me and adds to the retro feel. I'm only 5'6 but I had the forward controls and aftermarket mufflers fitted. Absolutely love the bike 👍

[@robertp457]

Why overpay for a new Harley only to spend another $500 - $1000 on new exhaust? Buy used after someone else has already paid that tax and pay less. Or perhaps Harley should put better exhaust on their motorcycles.

[@vaughnfontenot4328]

[@matthewbrew1546]

Saw this at the dealership and immediately thought Harley was trying to cut corners with modularity of the softail. Those shock covers too...are they trying to make a bobber club style? Just didn’t really like the mix there

[@juniorlopez2468]

Can you do a 2019 soft tail slim test drive

[@patriotbiker2594]

I like the color only cause of the beer cheese name.

[@BushRat253]

That's so weird about the transmission. I test rode one and felt the total opposite. I couldn't feel at all when I shifted and had to keep checking to make sure what gear I was in.

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

Just bought a used 2019 Street Bob with only 88 miles on it! It’s my first bike!

[@unklemute1187]

How is it as a first bike?

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

J Gauchier It’s good for me. As a big guy, 5’10” 280 it fits me great. Has all the power I need but not enough to get in too much trouble. Obviously any bike can get you killed, but I plan on being a safe rider.

[@leeharris22]

does it have keyless ignition?

[@BS-tj3bq]

Lee Harris yes. I have a 2018 street bob and I think it is standard for the softail to have a key fob.

[@bobbyromo69]

I just rode a new street bob this morning I loved it but it needs forward controls bad

[@StreetBobberVlogger]

Just get some crash bars and a step up seat...worked for me! 👌

[@StreetBobberVlogger]

VapeLife Will shit sorry bro just seen who you are haha! Forgive me it’s 4:30am here 🤘

[@LA44444]

Harley is not making forwards for the new street bobs. Not sure why, asked a tech at the plant in York and he said there are no plans to make any. But, what i was told is the forwards on the softail deluxe will work on the street bob. They list in the catalog for 569 plus labor.

[@StreetBobberVlogger]

L A yeah an Instagram buddy of mine just put Fat Bob forwards on his FXBB...another guy I know has just put forwards on his by buying all the bits separate (not as a kit) and it looks great! Cost a small fortune I was told. He has the foot boards on it with drag bars! Looks frickin awesome. He said I could give it a ride review, which I intend to do shortly. Although I think he just wants the chance to ride my Street Bob with the Stage 2 on it haha!

[@michaelsmith1094]

VapeLife Will I can't stand up very well when I use forward controls while riding over the occasional canyon.I just put forward pegs on and that takes care once I get out of the city.

[@larrydaniel9654]

For my first bike I've been trying to do my research on the harley softail street bob and this video helps me out more. So thank you! I've ridden in the past but not a street bike more of the off road (atv/dirt bike) but always wanted a bike. Hope it works out lol

[@andrewdreyer7765]

Only ever ridden my Dyna Street Bob from 2015. I have test ridden the new 2018 Street Bob Softail. The Dyna looks better, I think. Even so, the new Softail was more smooth out of the box. Like a stage 1 from the get-go. Suspension is better. No more jarring shocks that buck you off the seat. I couldn't scrape the peg, even though I tried. I could feel the wheel moving underneath my ass, which was odd but ok. Seat is more comfy. 3rd gear has torque. Ultimately a more smooth, refined machine. It's a better bike to be sure.

[@MAYNARD927]

I was considering a Sportster 1200 Custom, but my dealer has just about talked me into a Street Bob. The more reviews I see on KZbin, the more I like this bike. I'm going to set up a test ride and see what happens. This would be my first ride on a Harley.

[@mikep4324]

My son just got a used 2019 in Wicked Red Denim with low miles. The previous owner added Short Shots, Screamin' Eagle air cleaner with a tune and forward controls. The thing is a beast. Fun to ride and very nimble. My only complaint is the seat but he has a new Sundowner seat on order. He is 6'3" and with the apes and forward controls is very comfortable.

[@michaelcardona2917]

Would you recommend it to new beginner riders?

[@davidreinholdii5527]

Mustard plug. I have one in vivid black. And have modified her a lot. Awesome bike. I highly recommend this bike

[@rebel_ltz]

I've been rocking the 2018 Street Bob (exactly the same just in black) since june and I love it. It had some issues as a first production year but I can highly recommend it. You get the same frame and power plant as the more pricey bikes for an affordable price. You're gonna customize all of them eventually...

[@robertp457]

"More affordable" It's still at least a thousand if not two thousand too much. It's an average quality motorcycle with average quality components and materials.

[@rebel_ltz]

Derek Jonez Oh no, your words hurt me. 🙈

[@danbailey1229]

The yellow is growing on me.

[@badboybootz8]

Dan Bailey maybe you should see a doctor?

[@84MadHatter]

my three favorite bikes by HD is Iron, Street bob and Fat bob

[@wojScibor]

It's definitely Mustard, especially since Ketchup and Relish are parked behind it

[@yummyzerg]

Any idea if the 2018/2019/2020 street bobs have any noticeable differences?

[@stevenschaefer606]

I was so worried the 2020 street Bob I bought had too much engine noise or something was wrong but seems to sound exactly like this one

[@wdsracer]

Is the suspension on the street Bob nicer on rough roads than a Harley iron 1200? I thought the iron was a little harsh and not very plush.

[@johnmimikos7863]

Just bought the new street Bob, dealer told me not to worry bout the RPM's just don't run it in 6th, idk why, wants me to shift as much as possible. Live in Colorado so I've only been able to put a few miles on it but so far I'll tell ya it's alot more peppy then I thought it would be !!! Very nimble. I too said only thing wrong is the seat, I want two up seat and forward controls. I may change bars too, put low bars. So far I love it !!! First Harley. I'm hooked !!!

[@josepereira5804]

Closed captioning thought the exhaust was music, and I mean, it’s not wrong

[@ronancarrillo2235]

I moved up from the street 750 to this beautiful bad ass bike on July 2nd. Love this thang! To me, I think this Bob is HEAVY af. I'm 5'7" 175lbs. I like this bike so much stock, I really dont want to change much. I haven't had to hit the breaks hard yet, which is great because this Bike has no ABS. I love how it will indicate what gear your in too. I love those mini apes too! I just cant say enough about this bike. Nothing negative yet. I'm still getting used to having more ccs and weight. I'm a new rider. This is my 2nd season in. I do plan on doing some mods like crash guards and frame sliders to start.

[@dustinwheelen]

The 2019 Street Bob Banana Slug! Great review, as always. Can't wait to see the other new Softail test rides, especially the FXDR!

[@timmurphy2825]

The factory seat looks cool but feels like you will come off it and uncomfortable. As you mentioned, change the seat, switch to forward controls then exhaust and you have a sweet little nimble ride.

[@diogoalmeida3231]

It is possible to put the foot pegs further?

[@KingDeadPool11]

I put 16 in bars on mine. With the saddleman gtech seat, and bung king highway bar. To stretch out on the longer rides.

[@Love4boost]

I have a Dyna Street Bob and test rode the new one. I was very happy to get back on mine. I wasn’t a fan of it. I wouldn’t say I hated it. I just like the feeling and ergonomics of mine more. Also while they made the handling better the Dyna has more lean angle. The Dyna is 31 left 29 right but if you get an exhaust that doesn’t scrape it’s equal. That’s about the same as Harley’s new muscle cruiser

[@mattknoche1200]

Do you recommend this bike to a new rider, 5'4 150lbs

[@matts.1758]

I like mid controls, Do you think a different seat like a saddleman step up would help the cramped leg situation?

[@rebel_ltz]

Allegedly yes.

[@cowdudeable]

Just checked with my local Harley dealer. $400-$500 for the seat and $1250 for the forward controls. These are not cheap.

[@Rocky-or4rz]

You can install that stuff yourself.

[@FromDeathToWorse]

forward controlls cost 550€ incl 20%taxes in austria and anybody can do the change ;)

[@caseyvidrine2506]

I think the street Bob would be a good size cause its not a very big bike and ride really good whitch i never rode one but would like to

[@GroovyStyleUnbox]

Does your arms hurt on decent rides as this bike has pretty high handlebar?????

[@lishagarcia4647]

Hi I just bought one. My very 1st bike did I make a mistake?

[@tweezee]

Is this a great bike for beginners?

[@cruisingprimate1072]

Couldn't see anything on the LCD display, is it better when you are actually looking at it with your own eyes on a sunny day? I like the Wicked Red Denim, minds me of wife's fav MAC lipstick.

[@anthonyfxbb9040]

Was olive gold only for 2018? That’s what my 18 Street bob is

[@jamthen.s.5193]

I own a 2020 standard and first two things I did were forward controls and exhaust. I agree with you. Great bike great video. Thanks....

[@m.h.7266]

I bought a 2018 Street Bob and I love it. Being a newer rider myself I found the bike to be great to really learn on and cruise around with. I have to say the ride is way better than the Iron 883 I had before it. Mine is all Black so the color you had wasn't there its just looks yellow to me. That is something I wouldn't go for myself. I seen your review on the 18, and was wondering did you notice any big difference between the years?

[@Rosenquist1000]

How is it compared to your dyna low rider s ?

[@LA44444]

HD doesn't make forwards for this bike yet.Mine is a 2018 and the salesman claimed they were in the catalog, Not!!! I found some highway pegs made by a company called rivco. They work good you just need to modify the oil cooler shroud. That factory seat is good for about 20 minutes after that its like sitting on the frame. The M8 motor is a beast and this bike handles really nice. Just needs bigger tank.

[@StreetBobberVlogger]

Yep changed the seat and exhaust on mine, amongst other things 😝! Such a fun bike. I clubstyled mine. Still have the mids but have the Hi way bars for longer rides 👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘

[@dylloncoil3438]

I am 5'10 about 180lbs 30 year old. I am going to be getting into riding what would you recommend for a beginner on a harley davidson prefer not a street 500/750 or a sportster. Would there be any other sides that be ok?

[@gigi9467]

Hows the brakes on this thing also the vibration?

[@PsyKotyK]

I rely like the street bob sat on one today id definatly change the bars and the seat . The seat is ugly as well as uncomfy. I really like the 48s and iron 1200 but they feel to small

[@guyfromwisco3533]

I just bought my first bike today and its almost identical to that one but black and rode it almost all day since I left the dealership and I absolutely love it

[@datdudehoppy]

Maybe I'm goofy, but I like the color a lil' bit😁.🇺🇸✌

[@henrycalderon8513]

What's the difference from the 2018

[@pankinyek]

Could you please talk about riding this bike from the stand point of someone who used to ride sport bikes. I am looking at cruisers to buy for the street use.

[@achromaheart2596]

When i first saw the color. The person that came to mind was John Maxwell. Maybe its just me hahah nice vid

[@mattfuller7467]

@blockhead you should touch on the fact that a lot of newer Harley's are throttle by wire rather than throttle by cable. I just bought a new 2019 street bob and I noticed the acceleration curve is WAY different for the fly by wire vs fly by cable. it tends to jerk straight into a fast speed rather than ease into it with the cable style throttle. do you know how to adjust the computer or make this change on the engineering level?

[@d3miiig0d44]

I’m looking into getting a Harley I’m 5’8 170lbs which bike suits me?

[@littlerooster99]

Can you change the riser since it got the speedo on it

[@dalecarpenter8828]

How many gears !

[@beanDoggins]

What's up with that whistling sound when u start it?

[@jordongee2347]

I got an iron 883 due to this channel, after about 2 months I'm ready for something new, or more power. I went and rode a 20 street Bob today, and only rode it for about 10 minutes before I went straight back, the seat was awful stock, I had zero confidence in rolling back, I just didn't feel secure in the stock seat. And the mid controls on that bike had me so stuffed up I wasn't comfortable. It's a shame cause I liked the power when I did get on it. But from my iron with a saddlemen and forwards, I'd ride mine all day over riding the street Bob in stock form for anything over 10 minutes.

[@vapidpunk1]

What's up Blockhead! Just thought I'd make a suggestion. I don't think anything has changed in the 2019 Softails except color options, so reviewing the Street Bob seems redundant. Maybe you could test out the Low Rider, Deluxe, and Slim since you didn't review them when the 2018s came out.

[@BlockheadMoto]

All on the list, awaiting arrival 😉

[@algo6485]

The primary cover is slimmer

[@cnharris28]

Yes everyone seemed to just left out the slim. Only maybe 3 review and none for 2019 year.

[@Mlody-iv5qu]

I am close to trading from my 2019 iron for a 2018 street bob is it worth it ?

[@aweidert402]

hey blockhead I'm curious as to why you dislike the mid controls on the new street bob but the ones on your low rider don't seem to bother you? Can you explain the difference between the two? Thanks

[@BlockheadMoto]

The Low Rider S has slightly forward mids, so they're in between mids and forwards. Total preference I suppose. I don't feel that my feet are too far out that I lose that confidence while leaning as I would with forwards, but they're not so close with mids that I feel cramped up.

[@aweidert402]

Awesome thank you for getting back to me. Keep up the great content man!

[@justanotheraviator2357]

I love the naked bike too, I recently got into bikes when I visited the dealership with Uncle who has one.

[@jomarugarte5006]

Hey there nice review... Do you know the difference between 2018 and this one?

[@ballisticfury9310]

How much does that Harley weight?

[@virgalyarbrogh9627]

Personal thought which one is better the dyna or street bob on power and response ? Do you think it has enough power for me and the wife to comfortably ride together ? We have a 2004 road king wanting something newer bobbed out however the road king isn’t going anywhere. What’s your personal thoughts ?

[@awtjuh]

I am going to buy a street bob 2019 next month, thinking of the grey denim color, what do you guys thing of that color?

[@robertp457]

Please buy used. There's no point in buying a 2019 since they are just like the 2018 and there is no point in buying new since you'll pay a more correct price.

[@awtjuh]

I need a bike with taxes on it, most used bikes dont have that here in NL

[@vaughnfontenot4328]

I have a 18 streetbob.. and I've never had a issue with visibility

[@Aprojeep]

You should really consider putting the the Stage 4 117 kit on your Low Rider S. It really wakes that bike up and you will definitely need a different seat so you don't go flying off the bike....and that ain't no joke.

[@caseyowen9792]

Does your 110 feel faster than the 107? They say how much better it is than the 103. And then what about the 114 compared the the 110

[@spikespiegel7964]

think i still like the DYna Street Bob better

[@TzeiEm]

I've got a '16 Street Bob and I also like it better than the Softail version, aesthetics-wise. I test rode the new model last fall and it felt kinda small and the seat was horrible. I'll probably do another test ride when there's an open demo ride day next time. I'd love to have a Dyna Street Bob but with the M8 engine, since I gotta say the rumble and shake gets old pretty fast... At first it was cool and awesome but now I find myself shifting gears to always get over 2500 rpm to minimise the shaking.

[@mopar21]

@@TzeiEm SE585

[@robertp457]

Yeah? Better suspension and chassis? I wouldn't hate that. I don't like how the price is still $2k too high. I mean it has a single front disc and house brand brakes and suspension with an engine that's under tuned and no standard ABS. At least the headlight is LED and the gages aren't no the tank which I hate.

[@c45-w5h]

I got a 2017 street bob and wouldn't trade it for anything and I love having the last year of the dynas

[@coloradogrownHD]

Could of bought one of these last July but wasn’t really impressed with it so went with a 2013 blackline instead but it’s growing on me now.

[@johnDukemaster]

Nice colour! Instead of feet forward, maybe a lower handlebar?

[@IamBlackdragon]

Be interested what you think of the Road King Special compared to the Road / Street Glide Special. Looking at the Street Bob for my partner nice nimble bike to ride but way to small for me. Like your point of view in the videos. Thanks

[@murakumo33]

would you say stay away from this bike if you are new to motorcycles or go for it? i was debating an iron 883 because of your channel. but most ive asked say its a bike you will grow out of fast. i dont want to spend money on a bike ill be bored of fast. this bike i really dig the look of. but being new to it. im trying to get as much info as i can on it. and make a solid choice.

It is very cool Orlando Harley lets you take all these test rides to Mexico. Will they need their 5k service when you return? Not a fan of the "Honey Mustard" color. Will leave that to my chicken sandwiches. Thanks for doing these first for '19 test rides. Like everyone else, waiting with bated breath for the FXDR. Make sure you take that one up into the mountains of Mexico and really put it through it's paces.

Awesome video! I would like to know your honest opinion on something. I have a 2015 Iron 883 and I'd like to upgrade. I've been riding since 2015 & i mostly do city stop and go/commuting on my 883. What would you recommend as a good Harley upgrade?

[@mjofrockhill]

Could you point me in the direction of forward controls for the street bob? Something other than the seemingly sketchy ones on Ebay, my searches for forums or parts is coming up short. My HD dealership says you cant put forwards on it, but I have seen tons of pics with them. Thanks

it sucks they put smaller gas tank on it though
