Harley-Davidson 2024 Street Bob Review - Ride Along & Personal Opinion

In this vlog I review the brand new 2024 Harley Davidson Street Bob. In this review I talk about a few of the main specs and features of the Street Bob before hitting the road and doing a real on road review. I do a bit of a highway ride then do a 0 to 100 on the Street Bob before hitting some twisties. At the end of the vlog I give a bit of an overview and my final thoughts on this bike.
Thanks so much for watching! if you enjoyed the video please like, subscribe and leave a comment as it really helps my channel grow. cheers

I just ordered one with forward controls. On the test drive I had the exact same feeling in my legs as you described. Can’t wait to pick it up.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Awesome mate !!! Yeah I'm glad I wasn't the only one haha, sometimes I ask myself is it just me 🤣 you'll bloody love it mate, so much fun ! Thanks for watching and safe riding 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Roaddawg68]

Your a funny cat , had me dying about the seat, it looks nice but smaller than the Dyna. Good video from New York , USA, ride safe.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Thanks mate, hahaha best way I could describe it 🤣🤣 yeah it does definitely feel small. Oh wow that's cool, Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@HeyNoah]

Dude, those pipes sound sooo good! Nice review and ride man!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Sounds bloody cracker mate, had alot of fun on this bike ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@RandyJohnsonRikthove]

Yes Friday another Gnarly Harley episode! Thanks for taking the time to do this. My favorite color too!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

You know it randy !!! Appreciate all the support, glad you enjoyed it. Blue burst is a bloody awesome colour isn't it. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@easydailytrades4205]

I own a 23 model. The fuel tank capacity is not an issue. I'm getting 310km to dry or 4.2 litres per hundred. I'm in North Qld so mostly highway riding.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

That's not too bad then, I do have to compare to other Harley's though which can fetch up to 450km to the tank, It's also personal preference on if you like stopping more frequently or not, didnt mean to bash it just my honest thoughts. it isn't a big deal maybe if it was a tourer it would be haha. Thanks for the feedback mate and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@easydailytrades4205]

@@Gnarly_Harley I also fitted forward controls. I'm only 5'10 but felt cramped on the standard mid mounts. In my opinion, this transformed the bike. I enjoyed watching your review. Cheers.

[@METALHEADNYC]

That's my dream bike. One day... one day I tell ya!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hell yeah mate !!! Bloody awesome bike that's for sure. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

[@andyshaw5378]

Just bought a 23 version in red. Liked the black engine and wheels less to keep clean, fuel tank not an issue in Uk as there are petrol stations everywhere. Liked the minimalist look of the instrument panel almost not there. Mid controls make it more flexible. Price means you can quickly customise the bike the way you want. Already got Vance Hines eliminators and stage one done 👍🏻

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh awesome mate, the red looks cracker !!! Yeah that's true lol only annoying if you're trying to get somewhere in a hurry and don't want to stop as much. I'm just being picky lol Definitely agree, price is great to start adding mods ! Sound like you've got it sorted. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@aaronkeller488]

Great vlog mate. I'd want one for the weekend short rides, would be a lot of fun. Three grand savings I'm sold!!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Cheers Aaron, be a bloody awesome weekender. It's calling your name haha. I think that's a cracking deal ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤

[@user-wg7lr1kn6r]

Hey dude, I knew you'd be surprised by the street bob lol. Nice in blue. Forward controls a must, mate got one with fat spokes and stage 2 just as a run around, embarrasses alot of other bikes. Great vlog mate as usual. Keep it up man love watching. 👊🤓👊

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hey mate, haha bloody oath I was surprised. Crazy how much difference abit of weight reduction makes. Lol I bet it does !! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Nils_Martin]

Street Bob 4 Life 🤙🏼

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Street bobs are bloody awesome 👌 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Jaysonic3423]

GNARLY FRIDAY!!!! Good review. I like that bike. I've been on 2 of them, my friend's. First thing both did was forward controls. I didn't like the look of the bars, on showroom floor, but, after riding, I was sold. They are a great fit. To me, it is a fast, fun bike. Definitely a weekend, round town, half day cruiser. Thing can rip it down the road! And has a great sound. I'm taking my wife this weekend to look at one. She will be taking the riders course, and I think this would be a good fit. Take care of yourself and keep it safe!! Cheers

[@Gnarly_Harley]

You know it !!!!! Haha thanks for being so enthusiastic, it gets me amped to try and do better and make better content. Same mate, when I look at the bars they seem way too skinny... but then when I ride it's bloody perfect. You said it mate perfect bike for those things. Oh wow, that's bloody exciting! Bet she is keen mate. Definitely a good fit. Thanks for all the support and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@TimLapham162]

Don’t mind the bike at all. I’d change to forward controls and probably beef up those bars! Another great vlog mate. And how about that bloody finger still hanging out of the glove for months making a cameo 😂😂 Sport Glide review 🤷🏼

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah, I definitely agree with you on that mate, cheers I really appreciate that. Hahahaha they are bloody comfortable and I'm not made of money 😅 I make do lol. Cheers for the recommendation, I'll see if I can make that happen. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@samuraidarryl]

Mate I had a Dyna Fat Bob when I got my M8 Lowrider S. Immediately changed to forwards & then extended forwards. So good.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh hell yeah mate, that's good to know ! Thanks for the feedback. If I can ever afford a low rider s or st I'll be sure to do that first haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@lovefishncookn14]

I think the street bob looks awesome 👌👌 I would happily own one. Gotta love the sound too. 👍 bloody awesome

[@Gnarly_Harley]

It does look cool but I'm still on the fence haha. Was a heap of fun to ride especially it being lighter. Bloody oath ! Sounds great. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤

[@azadr9231]

Another great video mate.

Cheers mate, really appreciate that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

great review mate

Cheers mate, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@EASTNSIM9454]

im 6' and bought my 22 with forward controls from the previous upgrade. excellent... i smash my legs when the passenger pegs are down...

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh that's awesome, got it already setup 👌 thanks for the feedback good to hear. Ahhh that could be annoying, it is abit of a funny placement for both sets isn't it. Thanks for watching and hope you're loving your street bob 🧡🖤🤙

[@sfrew2544]

G'day GNARLY! How are ya?! Thank You for a great review and video of the 2024 Harley Davidson 114 Street Bob. I have just traded my bike's in on one in the same blue burst colour livery. I haven't actually got mine yet as it's getting transported down from n.s.w to Melbourne on 7 or 8 of August. On Mine I am getting fitted' Freedom performance curved radius exhaust. Cruise control. Pillion backrest. LED front indicators. And I think upgraded high flow air cleaner???. And after your comment on the seat i am thinking of getting a butt plug for myself as well 🤣😂 Eventually i will upgrade rider and passenger seat's. I have alway's owned sport bikes!! But I am really looking forward to the Harley. I really enjoy watching your video's! Thanks and Cheer's to ya mate ❤️👍🙂

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hey mate, oh wow that's bloody awesome, bet you're keen as hell to get the bike. I had so much fun on the street bike. Way lighter than most harleys and the power was great. Sounds like you went with the right mods off the bat too ! Thanks so much for the support, ride safe 🙏

[@resurgencegear9960]

T-shirt is looking good on you. Great review, love the sound. Would be a lot of fun, easy to flick around being so light. Colour I don't mind. Shit that's a good savings, $3k

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Thanks heaps for that, I appreciate it. Bloody awesome shirt ! Definitely was alot of fun. Loved how light it was. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤

[@Jonesy323]

Yeeewwww 👌 your opinion was the same as mine forwards straight away, new seat to hold you in more but the 10 inch bars seems to be the sweet spot once you go higher then that shoulder pain and I’m 6.1

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Awesome to hear mate, love it when a get a good response of the majority agreeing because sometimes I feel I'm being abit harsh lol. New seat on this would be mint, weirdly loved them bars haha. Oh wow, that's good to know thanks for the feedback & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@bohcsnaitsabes]

looking into getting one myself... thanks for the walkaround. Can you also get filmed when you sit on it? Would be nice to get an idea of the riding postion...

[@Gnarly_Harley]

I used to do that mate, I'll start doing it again I'll have to get some sort of tripod or find something close to sit my go pro on. Will get onto this. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@chrisbright5439]

These are a great bike as a base for mods. I rode one with a Feuling Reaper cam and it was a cranky beast haha was terrible for slow bumper to bumper traffic but geez did it get up and boogie when merging onto highways! The seats on these are terrible and are the first thing to go and anyone over 6ft will NEED forwards! I was in physical pain in my back and hips from my knees being tucked under my chin hahahaa As you said it’s a perfect cruiser for around town but would need some changes and a fuel can to make it worthy of longer distances

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Oh wow bro, I bet that was an absolute animal ! Hahaha I wasn't far off cutting a leg off. Got a cramp and was abit off it lol. Yeah that's it bro, glad we have the same opinion on the bike then. Was still awesome though, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@papap.8006]

I am not a fan of blue but I wish the side piece was the same color. On my 18 Fatboy I had them painted the industrial grey and it looked so much better. But it’s a Harley and that’s enough for me. Very nice video, don’t worry about getting those reviews done. Just take your time. Also how is your lady friend? She looks like a sweet gal.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

I'm usually not but these new brighter colours are growing on me. Something different I guess ! Oh that's awesome, made it your own. Like seeing painted buts and pieces that people do. Changes the whole look of the bike. Cheers mate, appreciate the support and kind words. Yeah she is doing well, just working usually when I'm filming. Have to get her along on a vlog soon. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@papap.8006]

I am glad you’re doing well. 👍

[@wyateerp1]

2023 FXBBS, Saddleman seat and FWD controls turn it into a Great Machine. I think I spent $5k on upgrades.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Cheers for the feedback, I imagine that made the bike way better mate ! That's not too bad. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@WOLFIE-96B-UK]

Had one as a loaner while my bike was in the shop. At 6'3" it was a bit small for me, but man, that 114 motor pulls like a train!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

That's it mate, same height as me. Definitely felt cramped haha. But you said it haha, bloody rips doesn't it. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@ValorGee]

Forward controls would make it a bit better for the taller rider

[@sdmascar8905]

That blue is stunning

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Definitely agree !! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@BrizBiker]

I don’t mind the street Bob but prefer the older model with the spoke rims or change em to fat spokes. A mate has one they rip nice n light.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Ahh yeah, that's a good point mate. I do prefer the look of most older model harleys too myself. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@haydengiles2725]

Nice one bro! 😎

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Thanks bro, hope you enjoyed the review as a street bob owner ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@BillyJ-vi8df]

Put a set of 16 in t bars some forwards,take those fork rubbers off and a memphis shades fering on, paint it black. It would almost pass for a dyna. Id buy one. Oh yea and a Le Pera step up daddy long legs.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

T bars would look mad on this! Oh true, legit a new style dyna haha, that's awesome man. I like your style, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@leeducati952]

Hey ,that was a cool bike bro … can you test ride a sportglide if the shop has one , am just interested to see what you think. I ride a 2022 sportglide and love it !

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Cheers, thanks for the suggestion mate, I'll try and get hold of one for next time. Let you know what I think. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

W that's how U review a harley u're the first bloke I've seen give it a good flogging

[@roryhoffmann6107]

Hey Matt love the bike and the colour I just don't like where the speedo is on the bike it should be on the fuel tank just a personal choice but keep doin reviews have fun ride safe 🤟

Nice blur job. Love your reviews, make down to tassie let us know.

@@Gnarly_Harley hoping to see what you think of the Breakout 2024.

[@Wartai]

Good review, I dont like the passenger seat and the foot controls, I think I will stick with my Fat Bob with the smaller 103, still trying to get used to the stock bars on mine, used to Apes on the other bike ..

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Good choice mate, the fatbob is bloody awesome ! I may be abit biased 🤣🤣🤣 I'm starting to slowly like apes, shhhh don't tell anyone haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@gghostrrider]

All I can think about is the same 114 that makes my RGS a beast, is in this little light bike!

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah, that's it mate ! Bloody wild aye. A fair bit lighter too, had alot of fun riding this bike. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@gghostrrider]

@@Gnarly_Harley Thanks for bringing this bike to my attention, as a bike guy I would have never looked at it, at least now I see its appeal. Subbing

[@Gnarly_Harley]

@gghostrrider no worries at all mate, I wouldn't of either if I'm honest. Never was a big fan of the look... but man it rips haha. Thanks for the support I appreciate it

[@Buffalobob7701]

I own a 2018 Ultra Limited, my first Harley but the blue Street Bob is my pick for a second bike 👍

Travelling in absolute comfort I see mate ! Very nice bikes. I should review one. Good choice mate, was a ball of fun and Definitely be a perfect second bike. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Looked like a fun bike to rip Matty might take one out for a test 🤙😎

Cheers mick, had a bloody ball on it ! Definitely go for a crack on one bro. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@clintgeorge8188]

Should see if you can get a road glide ST to review

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Thats not a bad idea, The 2023 model ? I don't think I'd be able to get my hands on the new CVO ST 😅 would be nice haha. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

[@cisa1622]

Test ride a Nightster 975 mate. It’s a much better motorcycle than street bob 114 l I thought.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

They look awesome ! I haven't even seen one in person yet I don't think. Maybe I didn't look hard enough haha. Cheers for the recommendation & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@cisa1622]

Last time I went to a showroom and checked for the bike the salesman there asked me if I do two up . I answered yes. He then thought then you need a bigger motor. I disagree I must say. Street Bob and Nightster has similar luggage capacity and two up space. The ergo of nighster is much better and similar tank capacity. Cooler engine- liquid cooled. All the maps and drive modes on the dash. Tone of customisation possible( street bob has an edge over Nightster on customisation). It lightweight and very easy to handle and has all the power you ever need. I bet that bike is a tone of fun and performance. It also has good suspension travel. It is the new Dyna( just better in every which way)

[@Gnarly_Harley]

@@cisa1622 that's awesome to hear, I'm very keen to see one in personal! Hopefully we get them here

[@chrissysaunders8053]

Morning outlawman, on the next review why not do 0 to 200 as your a speed freak but make sure there are no fun police around, I know it's a bad idea but bad ideas are the best ideas, only joking of course😆have a good week mate👌🇬🇧

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Good morning !!!! Haha I'll definitely get in trouble if I do a 0-200 🤣 would be bloody cool though. Haha very good point, any bad media is good media lol. Thank you, and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Review a Sportster S next?

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Cheers for the idea ! I'll see if I can get one. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@2wheeltommy996]

I think they are cool. Need T Bars, step up seat, and remove the rubber boots. I hate those things.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Ooooh t bars would be cool as actually. Yeah they kind of make it look cheap eith the rubber boots now you mention it. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Life_of_Gavin]

Why do they put such a small fuel tank on it though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Gnarly_Harley]

I have no idea mate ! Same as the m8 fatbob. Very unfortunate. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Oh awesome mate, I'm pretty sure they have a demo so I'll try and do that pretty soon. Thanks for the recommendation & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@metrock_409]

@Gnarly_Harley ya gonna get another bike. Only gonna rise my RR once and awhile. Can't give up all that horsepower it's to addictive to be honest with you. My buddy has a 2021 hertiage and took mine for a ride. Lasted maybe 20 minutes. Pulled over and said...how the fuck do you handle that thing. The front tire never stays down. Id loose my licence on that. Pretty funny but I enjoyed his harley. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work and mostly stay up right.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

@metrock_409 would love another bike mate, just can't afford one. Hopefully one day I keep working and hard and who knows. Would like to have all 3 types haha.

[@metrock_409]

@Gnarly_Harley highly recommend you take a bmw s1000rr for a ride. The harder you push it the more it likes it. If I could afford a another bike with deep pockets. 2024 harley road glide st 121.

[@aussiebodie]

Off it... not a fan of the handle bars... they look weak. There's something a miss with it's look. Good power though.... they got that right.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah they do look abit dicky but I got used to it. They were really comfortable that's for sure. Haha it is a funny looking bike I'm still on the fence about it bro 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@Jonathan-L]

Not my favourite H-D model ... Wheels are fugly, fuel tank capacity isn't great, instrument panel too small.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Definitely not my favourite either mate, I was probably abit easy on it abit too small for my liking, but she definitely rips ! Cheers for the feedback and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Not a fan of the look, kinda looks like a street 500 😮 imo. Always a great review big nuts but definitely not a bike id own. Id love to see a comparison between a CVO street glide or road glide V non CVO

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Hahaha not I can't un see it. Does look pretty small hey. Cheers I appreciate that ! Oh that would be awesome, gotta try and get a hold of a cvo haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

[@beastieboy3926]

Only 297 kg`s bloody hell that`s heavy. My Buell with harley 1200 engine weighs under 200 kg .Also lean angle is rubbish, I would have footrests on the tarmac all the time.I like the torque and the style,but no,it`s no good for my style of ridin.

[@Gnarly_Harley]

Yeah it is heavy but on the lighter side for Harley's which is all I'm comparing them to at the moment, sorry for the confusion. Yeah the lean angle isn't good at all if I compared them to bikes outside of cruiser's, I agree. That's fair enough mate, I used to ride adventure and sporties it's completely different but I've found the beauty in these cruiser's haha. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

[@MicahBell_1860]

Third most Japanese looking Harvey Danielson after the newer Sportsters & V-Rods If you want your missus to ride with you, buy an Electra-Glide or her own bike. Could barely hear you when you started riding it Happy trails, Cowpoke

[@Gnarly_Harley]

This is true, that's why I'm so on the fence about the look. Still kind of funny looking 😅 it was comfy and it rips but just doesn't look tuff. Haha bloody oath mate, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
