I think it's it really hard to find people making videos on KZbin that really understand custom bikes (especially Harleys) in Europe. But you two, in my opinion, are just what custom enthousiasts need ! Congratulations for your great work ! In this video, you gave me an information that i had never heard about... I am currently driving a Sportster 883 for my A2 licence (I love that bike), and I intend to get a 114 Street Bob now that i'm out of the A2 restrictions. But at the Harley Davidson dealership (I live in France), they did not talk about anything like "no stage 1" and "no exhaust"..... But actually, it seems to be true.... Still, I think that a "modern" engine like the 114 doesn't really need a stage 1 as bad as the old Evolution engine for instance. But, like every single Harley, it needs an exhaust !!!! But do you mean that we can't install an exhaust that is "euro 5 friendly"? Or is it also the case for pipes like Vance and Hines ? To be honest I don't really care about the european rules, so If I can use an empty tube it's fine by me, but I believe it could wreck the CO2 sensors..... (which also happens sometimes with Vance an Hines on euro 4 bikes)

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! Very much appreciated! I think they will get round it but it’s unlikely to be ‘legal’ so pipes will probably have to be swapped back for the MOT test I guess

[@charlesreynolds6101]

I appreciate that you don't beat up these bikes yet can still translate how these bikes feel. Great job of getting really useful information out to prospective buyers.

[@chazbott78]

Love the StreetBob. I have a 107 and I’m a bit jealous they come with the 114 now but I still love my bike. Super nimble, plenty of power. I ride it to work 100+ mi a day on the freeway. It’s all I need right now. Great video as always guys. Cheers.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It’s a great bike, tbh you probably don’t need to upgrade unless you really want to.

[@beaugauthier4978]

I test drove one the other day and honestly I was expecting it to be much faster lol

[@robbyclark6915]

I actually test rode this bike today, same color, and wow! What a bike! That 114 is a monster! They wanted 17k here in Tulsa Oklahoma where I’m at? They said they can’t keep them in stock. I believe it since this one hadn’t even hit the showroom floor yet before I had my eye on it ....and my rear. The gears! Absolutely smooth like butter! Super smooth. Very smooth ride all the way around. Very smooth. Great engine! Just fantastic. The brakes were definitely a limitation of the bike. Downshifting felt strange at first until I got used to the shifter. The shifting is so smooth I actually wondered if it had changed gear a couple of times, but there is a gear indicator for that and a little, I repeat, little blip of the throttle will tell you anything you need to know about what gear you’re in. I almost traded in my 883 for it. But it just seems too pricey for me right now. Awesome, awesome, bike!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It’s definitely a top class bike! Glad you enjoyed the ride 💯👍🏼

Love that ‘poor brakes are a safety feature’ 😂. However, lovely looking bike, I’d have one in a flash. That looks like a proper cruiser, because it is 👌

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Haha! Yes it’s a proper bit of kit.

[@dgross2009]

As an owner of the 20 Street Bob I'm happy that Harley made pretty big changes to the bike for 21 which is generating some buzz. Really good news since many KZbinrs included the Street bob in the list of bikes dropped in 21. Unlike most I think the best change was adding the passenger pegs. Nice to have if you upgrade the seat to a two-up. I don't think the 114 upgrade is as big a deal as others say. The 107 to me is a lot of power for this bike. The disadvantage of the 114 especially this year is that you need a tuner if you add even just slip ons. I just saw a video on this and it makes sense. Since these already come with a high input air cleaner it already has half of the stage one. This year is more of a problem since you have to use Harley's tuner. Additional $300 minimum

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes you’re absolutely right 👍🏼

[@lencampey5685]

Yeah adding the Fuelpak FP3 and adding some nice V&H exhaust slip ones is all you need on this bike!

Thanks mate! You’re gonna love it!

[@timtowers7997]

One of the main reasons you buy a cruiser is for the way it looks. The new Indian Chief is streets ahead. Much nicer frame and engine(one of the best looking m/c engines, ever), no "cheesey" tank graphics, no ugly mini-radiator between the downtubes, and no "afterthought" indicators hanging off the front bars. 116" Chief performance is also ever so slightly better.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We’re really looking forward to reviewing the Chief 💯

That backrest fits the bike's character really well

[@robbyclark6915]

The standard, besides the 107 and paint job, also does not have the pillion and passenger pegs. Just get the street bob, it’s worth the extra considering what you get. That’s my absolute favorite Harley emblem on the side of that tank, no question! I have been in love with this bike since they unveiled it in January!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It’s a stunner for sure, and yes the graphics on the tank look awesome!

[@deangullberry5148]

If you're going to customize with chrome, get the standard. If you want to keep it blacked out, get the Street Bob. A crank shaft, splash of orange paint, and that crappy pillion aren't worth 4 grand.

[@robbyclark6915]

The 114 engine and the awesome paint job are absolutely WORTH the difference in price. Haven’t seen a 4K difference in price? Not between the street bob and the standard? You couldn’t swap out that 107 with a 114 and get that awesome paint job for even 4 thousand. I care very much what my bike looks like and that paint job is stunning as eff! The blacked out 114 is definitely worth paying more.

[@senormosquito1114]

I’ve got the 2021 Street Bob, a superb motorcycle. I owned a Yamaha XJR1300SP for almost 17 years with constantly having to lubricate the chain and a pretty clunky gearbox - no such problem with the Street Bob as it has belt drive and an extremely slick gearbox. I was extremely attached to that Yamaha but the Street Bob is far the better motorcycle for the ageing rider that I am with the bolt upright riding position for my problematic lower back. 😀

[@davidlloyd2594]

I just really wish they had kept the iconic twin-bob tank on the Street Bob. I still have my old Dyna Bob, and it just has so much more presence and the lines are more pleasing. The tiny tank really makes the new one's seem so much less 'Harley' to me, though I fully acknowledge that objectively, they have improved the riding experience.

Great review guys . I test drove this model two weeks ago and really did enjoy it, especially the pick up which literally is like riding a horse that’s decided to break loose. I however found one really annoying thing that at slow speeds the steering of the bike was really heavy and difficult. In comparison the Low Rider S was a dream and the Heritage classic was much, much smoother . In the end I decided to order a Softail slim . Unfortunately I couldn’t test drive it because it’s sold out in Cologne and there’s a waiting list . Which brings me to a request , if you agents could review a Softail slim in the months ahead then I’m sure many would benefit but I sure would appreciate it 🙏🏼 🍻. Keep up the great work !

[@vickaminski]

What do you mean you can't stage 1 it, it comes stock with a stage 1 filter. I have one and I recommend adjusting the rear brake pedal for more leverage, it helps slightly, the front brakes are grabby, adding a bung king crash bar looks cool and provides nice protection, wish the stock tank held more gas than 3.5 gallons, if you tend to get on it and wind it out when scootin' you'll be refilling a lot more often. I added V&H eliminator 300 slip ons to give it a nice sound and swapped the seat out which isn't terrible but I start dancing my butt around on the stock seat on long rides so opted for a saddlemen explorer, also if you're 190 lbs and 5'7 like me, you'll want to adjust the shock to 1 or 2 for a nice softer ride, at 3 setting you feel every pebble. My wish list is for a control placement that is between the mid and forward, that would make for a WAY more comfortable ride. For me anyway, the pegs begin to hurt my arches after about a 50 mile ride. Next upgraded needed for highway riding is a windshield for sure, but not a huge one to maintain the cool look of the bob

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

In the uk and Europe we have to comply with European emissions. this meant we have extra co2 sensors in the exhaust this year and a new cable body for the ecu. All the tuning companies had to make a stage 1 tune that was able to turn the sensors off to prevent the bike flashing up with errors every time you start the thing. They have now made a tune from diag 4 that solves this.

[@db6625]

A lovely looking bike......but yes, that exhaust sound needs rectifying!!!

[@srtspeedy4983]

Realy nice bike esp with the new 114 on it. I could have saved alot off cash with this bike instead off the breakout when I think about it. I would change the handlebars to a more dragbar style. And about the ecu you can change and put on a pair off slip on exhaust for a start and as so long you dont change the stock airfilter it will be fine and the main thing most off want is a better sounding motorcykle. Could be a god thing the first two years not to tune it becouse HD will notice any changes in the ecu when your dealer connect it to the HDs server and flag the motorcykle/engine and end the warranty.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That’s very true a pair of slip ons would certainly suffice!

I have 2019 FXBB with 107 and it is spectacular bike, I would love to try this gorgeous one with sharper teeth :D

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Both awesome bikes! Worth a testride to compare

I use bike to go at work so you think is best street bob 2021 or low rider s 2021? i lives in Milan so i ride in city and in highway too

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We prefer the Street Bob 👍🏼

[@ecrusch]

Besides the CVO which is ridiculously nice and would be the first choice by anyone, I actually like this Harley the next best. Relatively simple design, trim, and racy looking. I almost won one of those when they first came out. My ticket was the next one pulled after the winner in a contest...drat... Your channel is one of my favorites and I think you two quite well. Cheers, Eric in Kissimmee Florida. (And I can't believe that you call insufficient brakes "a safety feature". That is the largest load of bullshit I've heard.) Nice try though.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! Great to hear your views. Bad luck with the ticket! We should have one of the CVO’s lined up soon to review fingers crossed

[@davidyersz8668]

Great review as usual on a stunning looking bike, on this bike my first MOD would be a second brake disc on the front wheel that should have really been there before it left the factory in the USA, after that V@H short shots and a Screaming Eagle Air Filter sorted

[@silkycherry]

I think its the best looking bike in the cruiser range imo (Not because i own one).

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We love it! 💯

[@claretbuck1882]

Top review chaps cheers 👍🏻

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy 💯

[@TheGarthinator]

I seriously think I need something like this when I get my full license. Did a pretty long ride along highways and twisty roads on my 500 Rebel yesterday. And damn it gets uncomfortable after a few hours lol.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes the extra torque makes for relaxed motorway riding snd the size is better 👍🏼

[@TheGarthinator]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan yeah, I am so envious of the Americans who don't have to level up their license aye haha.

[@AlfadorMax]

I'm in the process of buying one in the US. This bike seems like tremendous bang for your buck. What do you think of the passenger pillion? I know it's probably the least concern but it felt like a rock (although I didn't sit on it.) Love your vids!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! We thought the pillion pad was fine. Not perhaps for 100’s of miles trips but perfect for short rides etc.

[@vtwindad1549]

Can you explain what the UK A2 Bike licence is? Is it structured to have a certain power bike over certain years as a beginner ect? Very much like these.. thinking it will be my next bike.. shame I only just bought my other new bike a few months ago 😅👌

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

They’re great bikes, if you stroll down our videos we made a video explaining all the licenses, it’d take me half an hour to type it all… lol

[@TonVerkleijT3]

As a previous Street Bob owner (2006) I prefer de Dyna version over the Softail. The more beefier and simplistic look of the Dyna is what in my opinion a Street Bob is al about. I am shocked to hear what it sounds like in this video, just like a Japanese bike. I absolutely dislike noisy and open pipes but couden't they make it a bit more sound like a Harley? Even my stock 2006 one sounded infinite better than what I hear now.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

I’m afraid that’s all down to the regulations by the government and the eu. Nothing Harley can do about that, it’s the same with any new bike now! So some aftermarket pipes are even more essential now.
