Harley-Davidson Street Bob

The Street Bob comes with Harley-Davidson’s quintessential low-slung cruiser styling, and it follows the typical retro identity, with its mechanical parts covered in chrome instead of black. There are five different colour schemes to choose from; Vivid Black, Billiard Grey, Centerline, Iron Horse Metallic, and Purple Abyss Denim. Buyers can choose between spoke rims and cast alloy rims as well.

The V-Twin engine makes it very recognisable as a Harley-Davidson, and unlike other Harleys having one exhaust pipe on top of the other, the Fat Bob also comes with two exhaust pipes, but with a two-into-one treatment. The Fat Bob also continues with the ape-style handlebars, a compact rear section,and a side-mounted number plate holder, further giving it the low-slung cruiser look.

The Street Bob is powered by a newer Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin, which is a 1923cc. liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. This unit produces 91.1bhp at 5020rpm and 156Nm of torque at 2750rpm, while paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. This should certainly give the Street Bob a mammoth amount of low-end torque typical of a cruiser, while giving it more than enough gusto for highway cruising.

The Street Bob’s frame is suspended on 49mm telescopic forks with aluminium fork triple clamps and gaiter boots, along with a pre-load adjustable monoshock. It also rides on a 19-inch front and a 16-inch rear wheel, both of which are tubeless. In terms of braking, it relies on disc brakes on both ends, with a four-piston calliper up front and a dual-piston floating calliper at the rear. The 293kg kerb weight is not exactly easy to handle though.
