IS IT WORTH IT TO GET THE 114 OVER THE 107? | HONEST TEST RIDE & REVIEW

[@velikijoxotnik]

I know that this video is a bit dated. In 2024, you really can't get a new 107 Harley. I have an Ultra Limited 114 and a Heritage 114. Both have Stage 2 Torque cams. The acceleration from a stop is crazy. My Heritage 114, especially, throws me into the back rest when I do a hard acceleration. I recently traded a Road Glide 114 (also with a Torque cam). A couple months ago, my wife and I were on the Road Glide. A Mustang GT pulled up next to me and guns his engine. I gunned mine. The light changed and as we raced away, I watched the GT in my rear view mirror. At the end of the street, we pulled off and chatted. He was amazed that I'd skunked him in the quarter mile. and was extra impressed that I'd done it when my wife on back! He wudda killed me, if we'd raced farther (especially when my torque limited capped my speed at ~110), but he couldn't touch my torque and thrust/weight in the quarter mile. The 114 is a really nice engine and it packs a lot of punch. A friend of mine has a 107 Heritage. if we're group riding and do a quick acceleration, he can't keep up. There is a noticeable difference between the 107 and 114 M8s. Does anyone 'need' a 114, or a 117, or a 121, or a 131? Of course not. But, if you enjoy the power and acceleration (either for fun, or to get you out of a jam), larger displacement is the way to go. Will I upgrade either of my Stage II 114s to a Stage III or IV. Very doubtful. But, that doesn't mean that I haven't thought hard about it.

[@5.7ninetynine]

Moral of the comments is- If you gotta 114 it’s a big difference and if you gotta 107 it’s not that big of a difference.. 🤣😂🤣

[@redwelder]

then the new 1200 sportster outpowers them both 😆😆😆😆

[@Greenmachine305]

A properly tuned stage 1 107 is all anyone needs. Pulls hard enough to pull you off the seat. So much so that Im considering buying a backrest or step up seat. Street Bob 107 owner. 150 lb. rider. High flow intake, 2 into 1 V&H exhaust, FP3 tuner, custom map, autotuned and tweaks. If I weighed 175lb plus, would consider stage 2 or above. Not necessary for my riding style and weight. Can outpace my friends twin cams and keep up with an Indian Scout. Far more comfortable than a Scout and sounds 1000 times better.

[@rudolphscholl1882]

I just bought a 2020 Street Glide Special with the 114, in Billiard Burgundy. I went from a 2004 Road King with the twin cam 88 to this new 114. Holy shit, what a difference! I absolutely love this bike!!! Couldn't be happier.

[@sfdfireman812]

Big difference!! Went from 06 88ci to 18 107 love the Milwaukee motors

Sounds like you definitely upgraded. Hope you get to chew up the miles on the new rig. Ride safe!

Had the heritage 114 then traded in for 2020 road king 107. I do know the 114 pulls hard in 6th but that was a lighter bike. Very happy with my stage 2 107 haven’t looked back

[@mudcatstravels9751]

I've ridden the 114 and 107 in the touring bikes and really didn't notice that much difference. I actually went with the Street Glide standard with the 107 because I like the chrome instead of the blacked out look. If they would have offered the 114 for an additional price over the 107 I doubt I would have paid the difference for it.

[@chrissmith7669]

Lol. I went all black. I’m not much on chrome.

Agree with you, just got a 2021 Street Glide, could not justify the difference in price

[@2dogsing403]

I've had the 2016 103, Road Glide special stage 1 twin cam. When I took it in for a 10,000 mi service I test rode the 2018 107 M8 Road glide could totally feel the difference. upgraded to 114 sump failure at 13,000. H D made it right after 3 months, so in the mean time I purchased the 2019 114 M8 Road Glide ultra upgraded to 117 blew that up at 13,000. HD made it right after 3 months. When I got it back after the rebuild I really liked the power because I didn't have to rev or pop the cluch just roll the throttle and I could burn out or wheelie no problem not to mention that it really came to life at 100 mph. Just traded in for a 2021 M8 Road Glide special snake venom and putting a stage 4 in it, just waiting for CA emissions on the tuner. The moral of the story is yes the 114 in a very different beast. That's my story and im sticking to it.

[@drainmonkeys385]

Another thing to think about.. is if you are like a lot of people buying Harleys, your likely going to change exhaust, tune, heavy breather …. If you think you want a 114 but the 107 suits your aesthetic vibe.. then your going to get more power on the 107… after you make the change. So it won’t be that far off from the 114

[@vulcanman64]

After a stage one you surpass the hp and torque of a 114. That’s one of the reasons the substantial price increase is a rip off.

[@mandizzle0517]

I have a 2019 heritage 107 and did a stage 2 mostly for the sound…the 107 has more than enough power

[@hutch814]

Everyone in the comments talking about how a stage 2 or 3 107 being faster than a stock 114 is a moot point. None of them are really that fast until you put cams, big bore and headwork. Obviously along with the stage 1 parts to go with it. I had a fully built 110 that was dynoed at 117hp/118tq on a CVO superglide years ago and it ripped but was it "fast" by some standards not really once you have been on a 175hp+ bike that weighs just over 400lbs. So its all relative. Ride what you enjoy!

[@FLHCSfan68]

I recently traded my 2017 Road King Special for a 2022 Heritage Classic 114. Substantial difference. Very happy with the Heritage 114

[@rcud1]

I have 114 on my Heritage and I don't regret it. Its not a big difference from the 107 but it was noticeable to me. I've also added a stage 2 and 2-1 pipes to bump its power up as well.

[@IskateUphill]

I have the stage 2 power cam with v&h big radius on my heritage. Sounds mean idling at a stop light lol but damn I came off a gsxr750 and even before I did the stage kit I was never not impressed with the 114

A Cam, pipe, and tune in either one runs great. Or 124”/ 128” and have a monster. Can’t lose. Ride and enjoy!

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

M8 Fat Boy is my dream bike. Hopefully Ill own one in a few months. I specifically want the 114 for its higher compression ratio and avalible performance for Stage 2. With a CR480 cam, it'll make a crazy amount of torque and at least 110HP at the rear wheel. I cannot wait to get mine.

[@chrissmith7669]

I thought the stock 107 & 114 both had 10:1 while the 107 to 114 kit takes it to 10.5:1.

[@photohum]

I rode the 107 Electra standard and the 114 street glide Milwaukee 8s back to back. The 107 on the Electra standard felt agile like a cat and really sporty! Didn’t get to interstate speeds though

[@fixerny]

Recently I had the opportunity to go back to back on a stock 114 (2020) road glide special vs stock 107 (2021) road glide standard 500+ miles each. The 114's torque difference is noticeable when rolling on throttle (passing for instance). I think the 114 "feels" a bit more effortless when underway and also from a standing start. If you are going to buy a Stock big Harley touring model and keep it that way - either one will do the job, with the 114 having a slightly muscular edge. But let's face it - Harley wants it's owners to invest in Harley performance parts to unlock the potential of both engines which have been hobbled by a combination of emissions and noise regulations - along with lower octane and engineered/"cleaner" pump fuel. For the several thousands of dollars and labor required to significantly increase base level torque and horsepower on both bikes - I think the budget minded rider may want to consider a Stage 3 - 107 as a better value. At some point Harley will succumb to the inevitable and offer its touring models with liquid cooled v-twins producing much higher power and torque in stock form. Heresy to us traditionalists but inevitable nonetheless. My guess is we will see air cooled displacement increases first on Stock models. 114 to 117 or greater on "specials" and 114 becoming the "standard" on touring models. Possibly larger stock displacement on CVO models.

[@freebehindbars8654]

You’re last paragraph has been the practice for decades, I’m sure they’ll continue that practice.

I had an 18 Fat Boy 114 and didn't like the engine. Seemed to pull nice, but lots of vibration, seemed like the motor mounts were loose, but they weren't. I later replaced it with a 2019 107 Road King and I LOVE the 107 way more than the 114. So smooth. Seems like the perfect engine to me. To be fair, my wife has a 2018 Heritage 114 and it seems a lot smoother than my FatBoy did. So, everyone's mileage will vary. Just how it seemed to me.

[@XxHaTeRsFaDiN]

Interesting about the vibes. My 21 street bob is so much more fun to play with for me. I’m coming from a sportster, and a 08 crossbones with the twin cam 96. The 96 was fun, and I thought it had tons of power. But when I hopped on that M8 114....oh boy!!!!

[@meskism7271]

As a noob rider coming from a 883, I purchased a 21 FXBBS 114. I cannot compare to a 107. But I LOVE the 114 with the Screaming Eagle Stage 1. Yes, way different engine from 883 to 114, however the EVO engine has its quirks/perks I get that. Torque monster!!!!!!

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

I have a 107 and I've ridden a 114, I didn't find too much difference between the two, like most Harley's they don't really come to life until you take em up a few stages. I added a tuner, new cam, new air cleaner, exhaust and headpipe to really wake my bike up. Big bore is coming next!

For someone who does between 15,000 to 20,000 miles a year on their motorcycle alone. Riding with 114 + 107 as well as being the rider of the 107 and 114 Motors. I can honestly say it is purely preference. The 114 will pull on the 107 in the higher gears that is it. Once you cam out the 114 is when you notice they're having ability to pull the 107 even in the lower gears. It's just by a little but it's definitely noticeable when you're riding amongst other Riders

[@docp9956]

Numbers are not much different. Theyre Harleys, yes the M8 performs significantly better than the twin cam... but the difference between a 107 and 114 is not very noticeable. I just traded my 21FXLRS for a 23 Road Glide. Given that I had a 2-1 on my FXLRS and it weighs about 200-250lbs less compared to a stock 107 Road Glide i found a bit of a difference. Already ordered a high flow cleaner and 2-1 for the Road Glide. In the end, the difference will be a bit noticeable (mostly due to weight) but not drastic. Some people just have a real hard on over the displacement. If youre worried about performance that much, I suggest another brand. 🤷‍♂️

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

107 with a cam and GOOD dyno tune all the way. The dif in price between the standard and special is the cost of a lot of mods. *and I like the chrome and full size engine guards and with my last bike .. all the extra shit that comes on the FLHR standard vs the stripped down special

[@setxoutdoorsman6517]

I went from a softail slim with a 107 to a street glide special with the 114. I definitely feel the difference. The 114 is smoother over all when cruising and does not jerk when riding slower in 1 st gear.

[@joshrandal6982]

What amazes me to this day is that Harley still uses single front discs. Honda cruisers? Yes single state of the art front disc and about 200lbs less weight. I’m looking at a new Harley, my second one. I’m old now and need something slow and with nice pipes. I’m not going to go fast in the canyons anymore just slo and loud that’s how I roll.

Most who walk into a dealership already know what they want. It’s a matter of your height.

Is the oil problem fixed

20+ years ago, thanks for asking :)

[@2wheeledrocket92]

Just curious…. I have a 2017 road glide ultra and the specs via the VIN say I have the 107 Milwaukee eight. You said early in the video that it debuted in 2018??? What am I missing???

[@xenogear88]

The M8 came on the Touring line in 2017 and on Softail line in 2018 if I remember correctly !

It is worth it 👌

Damn your in Tallahassee??

I was! Relocated to South Dakota last July.

@@TheTwoWheeledTeacher oh OK was gonna say let's ride sometime but nevermind I guess ha ha 😂 south Dakota is a different world I've heard

[@davidefland1985]

Softail has taller final gear although they are lighter than the touring models

Dude, great information, Well informed. unfortunately your camera work needs help. If your going to wear the camera on your helmet you should move your head more slowly, all the quick side to side movements and quickly looking down is just painful to watch. Maybe you should wear a chest harness for the camera. I only made it 7 minutes in before my head hurt too much from all the sudden movements. Have a great day.

[@TheTwoWheeledTeacher]

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely think about that on the next one.

[@kmill2220]

M8 is a dog on the low end. my buddy's 107 smoked it from the start but not on the long end. the dyna lowrider s 110 twin cam smokes the 114

[@jethrotull3590]

Without a biased Harley dealer opinion. After break in period, hands down wouldn't get a 107. My buddy had a 107, great until he wanted more. 107, to 124. I rode and helped with the build. My opinion as a mechanic prior (still just not for civilians anymore 🤣) out the gate not really, down the line depends what you want in a engine. It is all meaningless because it's all personal preference. The torque, noticeable, the horsepower, noticeable down the line. Too much to really go into on a KZbin video

[@jayherman159]

I never liked fatboys or heritage ..or baggers..my 09 comstomized superglide is the cats meow!

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

I'm currently on a FLSS with the screamin 110. I went and test rode both a 107 and 114 in a road king. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. The 107 out of the dig is awesome. Great get up and go. The 114 out of the dig is good, but not as good as the 107. Now with that said, when you roll into that thing in 3rd and 4th gear, it takes off like a rocket. The 114 is going to be a great highway bike. No need to downshift for passing. The 107 would be a great "bar hopper". I am stuck with the decision right now as I am about to buy a bagger. I've been looking at the specials (114), but have really thought about doing an electra glide standard as it gives me almost 10 grand to do what I want to to the bike. Even something like a T-Man stage 2. A 2 into 1 with cams, breather and tune could have that 107 flying like a fighter jet down the road.

[@patrickbilancione1201]

I tested a Fatboy. Hated it. With the foot boards the lean angle was terrible. I have a 2018 Fatbob 114. Far better bike that you can actually carve some twisties on. The Fatboy is just boring compared to the Fatbob.

[@IskateUphill]

6:15 My ex girlfriend’s uncle had a fat boy with different rims and a front fairing. It kept throwing me off cuz I never got close enough to know exactly what it was but he pulled up one day and I was like, “is that a fat boy?” Idk it’s weird cuz it was the gas tank that made me think it was a fat boy

Find a low mile, late 90’s model with an Evolution. Learn to work on your bike, you’re set forever.

[@MOTOmunchies_420cc]

114 > 107 .... 😅

[@joshmaag2457]

I don’t keep my motors stock. Probably would do a screaming eagle kit so getting the 114 would be dumb for someone like me. Also I’d rather have the chrome over the black so there’s that.

[@bikesandwrenches]

For real? 107 then 114 then 117, 124 and 131? Stick to whatever you have. Bigger is always better, only for HD, not for your pocket. This stuff is for posers. If you ride it for you and not to impress others, even an 88 is awesome. Go ride and forget about the numbers. Besides, it all ends with a Japanese 650 leaving a 131 on the dust! Its all about the ride. So just go ride! This is were a Harley really shines!

[@tudk4366]

Just put stage 2 in the 107.

[@rainkaru1946]

I also have had Harleys, now having Indian RM and tuned Kawasaki zx14r. I say straight, You are speeding your bombs and comparing them. Have a speedbike aside and do not talk bs about power, these bombs have no speed at all.
