Harley Davidson | Sportster S VS. 114 Street Bob

In the video I compare the 2021 Harley Davidson Sportster S to the 2021 Harley Davidson 114 Street Bob. Per the Harley Website these bikes have the same MSRP at 15,000. So which one is right for YOU?
If you're interested in this bike it is available at the time of this video going up.

One thing I've said for a long long time is something that you have reiterated in your video. That is, to respect the machine and the power that it has. I appreciate the fact that you are reminding viewers and potential customers to respect the power. Awesome man.

[@rickbradshaw2148]

I own a 2020 Street Bob and absolutely love it. I don’t need the top end power and I love the journey of customization. Since getting it last year, I’ve done bars, risers, stage 1, saddlemen seat, legends suspension , grips, LEDs… and probably a bunch of stuff I can’t remember lol

I would love one of these... are they really torquey? How are the mid controls?

Dude thanks for this video! Rebel 500 owner here looking to upgrade next year. Local Harley dealership had some Street Bobs in and I was pretty impressed. But I think the Sporster S is more my style for the kind of riding I like to do.

[@JohnBhaktul]

I am in the same boat! Looking to buy my first Harley, been riding my Rebel 500 for about 6 months! Since I am a short rider, my need is proper fitment. There seems to be a ton of aftermarket parts that I can put on a Harley to fit me.

[@Alanc419]

@ThrottleBlip - After watching your honest reviews and ride on the Sportster S, it’s really, really grown on me (the Sportster S). This bike is next level, but even more, Harley’s in general are growing on me! Thanks for producing and posting your videos!

Great video, I am waiting to try the new Sportster S, if I don’t like the ride, then I’m going with the fat bob! I like the looks of both of these new Harley’s!

[@RevJay_Rides]

I just saw my first Sportster S yesterday. It was already sold. The mechanics and the manager took turns on it. Since it was already sold, they didn’t think they should put any more miles on it. It was interesting! I do believe this is a good direction for Harley-Davidson. I rode the Street Bob quite a bit. My brother bought one and didn’t have his license yet. Then, my sister-in-law bought one too and I had to ride it home for her too. Their house is about 75 or 80 miles from the dealership they bought it from.

[@bigboy13a]

This is a great apple to Orange video that actually needed to happen. They are two different bikes with way different features. But those features need to be explained! I ride two up and got my first touring bike. I’ll never go back to a small bike again. But these are great bikes.

I think that Sportster S license plate and light holder thing looks great...after that huge plastic boxing around the lights are changed into far higher quality lights. I'll look into keeping the steel arm but changing the light and plate holder on it. To me it's like a new kind of look, and can probably be made to work really nicely.

[@davechris1789]

I own a Sportster S and I love it. My 2020 street Glide special is a good bike yes but it’s heavy and doesn’t come close to the engine pull of the sportster s. The sportster s I would say compares performance wise to a MT09. I know this cause I just sold my 2021 MT09. The sportster s is comfortable smooth and with way better brakes and suspension then the typical 883 1200 sportsters out of the box. Thanks for the review.

[@Chase_N]

I was a TC guy too, then I took my cousin's 2020 Low Rider S for a ride while he rode my Dyna Fat Bob. My suspension was better but the M8 rev'd quicker, ran cooler, & didn't shake my hands to sleep. I traded my FXDF in last week on a Road King 107M8, the 107 felt just as capable as the 114 & it had a better suspension than any of the Softails.

[@dudemcfurgusson7179]

Do you have an aftermarket suspension on your dyna? Because my '21 fat bob is the smoothest riding harley I've ever been on. I hardly feel bumps at all, and she eats corners alive.

Great overview. There are import bikes that have the same rear fender deal. Maybe its a work around for some laws about the fender and rear wheel protection or just a way to keep the tail clean. Let aftermarket work it out. lol

[@jne232]

I rode a VROD (the 1130cc with 115HP and 74ft lb torque) for the last decade until I got rid of it this year for the 21' SB. I can tell anyone who may think the SB with the 114 (90HP with 120ft lb torque) isn't going to have enough power. I have 1400 miles on my 21' SB, yesterday went a little hard off a start, spun the tire and when it gripped, the front wheel was off the ground! Not by much, say 6 inches, but that is the first time I've had the wheel of any of my Harley's off the ground. That bike continually surprises me. It is definitely the hooligan bike of the classic Harley styles. I highly recommend the Street Bob. It doesn't have the top end of the VROD, but it FEELS soooo much more powerful than those low torque numbers the Revolution engines put out. Lets face it, there is not enough road to need all that top end horsepower numbers, we need light to light power which then you need the 114. Besides with the wide tires, that Sporty is gunna have some troubles in the corners. She looks built to go fast in straight lines only, just like the VROD. The VROD could not hold a line in a corner if its life depended on it and the Sporty looks to be the same. I like where Harley is taking things, I'll just hold out until they have figured it all out first.

[@adolfonovelli3320]

Street bob for the looks, but I am glad to see that H-D is getting into the MAD MAX concept too:-) I've been on both and the ergonomics on the Sportster -S are better and that's just to be fair.

I already have a street Bob but I’m actually really interested in the other versions of the Sportster S that will be announced since those should be less fancy but more affordable

[@jne232]

I was waiting for the Bronx, and then we got that Sportster instead....not happy. The bronx added the frame that a sports oriented bike needs and the right sized tires. The Sportster S looks to be some first introduction attempt to not go to full naked sport bike and keep some sort of harley look for the aging clientele before going full on sports frames. That was a big miss IMHO. Harley should have went all in and not half in with the Sportster S. The old clientele isn't going to entertain that bike. Its plastic fender and all.

But, when it's time to do some serious riding here in the North Georgia mountains the V-rod is pretty damn fun. It's not the best at high speed turns but when it straightens out it's a beast. Enter the Sportster S: The Sportster S looks like it will do everything I want it to do, with a very similar engine that the V-Rod has but now with great handling and power. Carving out these mountain roads is what the Sportster S was made for. Yes, I will own a Sportster S.

The sportster front tire looks huge. The 34 degree lean angle is a big change from the old sportster.

[@lochieleslaighter]

Hey mate, regarding the rear light and number plate holder, incase it hasn't been said already. The sportster is conforming to standards required in many European markets, where the 'fender' has to extend beyond the rear wheel. They do that by making that rear section be part of the 'fender' it's ugly as sin but legally required in many countries, we see it a lot in Australia and everyone changes it immediately.

Great Comparison man. I literally just went thru this at the dealership.___ Been riding Italian bikes for the past 25 + years. Had a 92 Sportster back in the day but I was doing a lot of track stuff and the sportster had to go. I always loved the look of Harley’s but they just kinda didn’t fit what I was doing. Anyway Fast forward to 2021 - Harley put the 114 motor in the softail frame - that had me doing some deep thinking. The other thing that got. me in the dealership during Christmas is the Street Bob has mid controls.. That was the only way I could make the transition to a cruiser. I’ve ridden some of my friends Harley’s over the years and for some reason forward controls always felt kinda F***ed up to me. Anyway when I got to the HD dealership the sales associate was real cool, we talked bikes for a while. He asked me if I had seen the new sportster. He put the bikes next to each other and I went over every detail. The sportster’s power is closer to what I have now, inverted adjustable shocks , more sport oriented cruiser, etc. There was a lot of reasons on paper why I could have easily went with the Sporster. Bottom line - that Street Bob is Seriously F***in Beautiful. Clean and Mean. Plus - That motor in That Frame ⁉️ A few tweaks and this thing is a F**kin Animal😈❕ I think you did an excellent job at describing the real differences between those 2 bikes man. The Sporster is bad-ass , no doubt, but for me in the end - it HAD to be the Street Bob 🤘. Later Brother - EXCELLENT COMPARISON VIDEO ✅

The Street Bob can be upgraded to any extent, a Stage 4 131 can be put in it, an S&S crate engine will transform this into a drag strip king. The Sportster S is fast but it can’t be made faster to a great extent. The Street Bob looks better in my opinion and it also gives the better feel of riding

Street bob all day I love the old school look. I would just throw an exhaust on it and that’s it. I’d just ride it.

[@throttleblip9854]

That's what you should do. Some guys spend more time with it torn apart and working on it. haha

[@mikeogden5256]

Sportster S all day every day

[@jksmithiii]

What nobody is discussing is whether or not the S is even fixable. Can only dealerships work on that model? My favorite shop wouldn't even touch it because they don't have to. Their air-cooled backlog right now is 2-3 weeks.

I love Sporster S."A wolf,in wolf's clothing"Paolo-Milan Italy.

[@deltaghost_zr0872]

I’ve been riding for 12 years and I think the sporster S will be my first “Harley” that I will ever purchase and specially brand new. This bike was clearly manufactured to reel in sport riders . Lets not kid ourselves……… y’all can keep your old school dinosaur bikes I’ll take that new “HARLEY” . LOL

[@throttleblip9854]

That's why I'm glad Harley did this. Not everyone wants the traditional or classic HD.

[@deltaghost_zr0872]

@@throttleblip9854 don’t get me wrong classic looking bikes are cool there’s no doubt. I’m just not looking forward to working on my bike every weekend , I prefer to actually ride on the weekends and sharpen my riding skills not my mechanical skills. 👍🏻 someone had to say it .

[@InterstellarApple]

Fork boots have been a standard in pretty much all classic motorcycles. How could you not like them? Weird.

[@throttleblip9854]

That's what I like them on, classics. haha

Hmmm i dont understand the comparison … one is a crusier one is basically a naked racer(hidden in a crusier suit) in the way the bikes behave…and performance… In cash they are the same, but its like comparing a R7 to a 883 Hd… due to price tag..🤔

Street Bob all the time. RIP Sportster

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

If I had to choose between 1 of the 2, I'd pick he street bob. I'm not about speed, more about cruising type guy.

[@chgofirefighter]

Soon, real soon Harley will incorporate the Sportster engine on the touring models.... It's coming!

[@viktork4251]

Still driving my Sportster 1200 low 2008, I can’t afford a new one 😁

[@throttleblip9854]

At least you're riding!!

[@scottdavis4935]

I am 6ft 3” I don’t think I could fit on either one!
