no need to grip a tank really on a cruiser. I always have my legs pretty loose. This demo has forward controls for some reason. the mid mounted pegs feel even better. I toss this bike around like a bicycle lol. I had this as my 2nd bike but I only had a sportster for like 2 months before getting it. this bike never felt like too much to me. Unfortunately it got totaled 2 weeks ago because some lady didn't see me and blew a stop sign. I plan on getting another when I get this cast off my hand. I can't think of any bike I want more. I loved my fxdb
I just got this as my first bike and I absolutely love it. I was looking at the Sportster 1200 and 883 Iron, but they felt perfect and I knew i would grow out of these. Ive had this for just over 2 months and I really enjoy her.
Do you have any videos of your wife riding her street Bob? I'd love to see them. I bought a street Bob and it just feels so heavy. For me. It's my first bike.
Thinking this or the Victory Octane, would this be a good beginner bike? I have road my dads Road King I haven't moved the acceleration yet he taught me by just releasing the clutch. The turning was a little difficult since it was my 1st time but I loved every minute of it lol. I'm stuck here any advice would be great! Awesome review btw:)
Hey man, thanks for posting this video! I test rode a new Street Bob and a new Forty Eight the other day as both are appealing to me. I haven't been a long-distance highway rider in the past...mostly just around town on my '79 Honda CB650 that was modified into a brat-style bike. I love the sporty feel of my bike, but it's small and could use more power at higher speeds as well as stability to combat wind since it's a smaller, lighter bike. I"m just curious which of those two did you actually get more joy out of riding? It sounds like you enjoyed the torque of the Street Bob, but aside from that which would you choose? The rides that I went on were too short for me to really get a feel for the bikes and it was my first time on a HD, so the experience was very alien to me from the vibrations, haha! Thanks in advance!
Great reviews bro, question which would you buy with your own money the bob or yamaha stryker? I know, i know yamaha isn't a harley but the stryker is a sexy looking bike
It really depends on the person honestly, if that person may feel uneasy about it than they may want to consider other options....they just need to understand and respect what they're getting themselves into...
+archinuk417 I'm 5 foot 3 and the big twins are to much trouble for me to ride, I am used to bikes being to big for me to be honest, so nothing much fazes me if I can get tip toe on the floor at least.
Did you buy this bike? I bought this for my first bike and still trying to learn how to ride. Dropped it twice. I love the look of this bike but now starting to wonder if it's just too big for me.
It might be a little intimidating for your first bike but give it time and take it easy... I'm only 5'4" and yea I dropped it twice also, mostly due to not wearing the correct shoes. But it's a great bike and easy to ride
I recently bought a 2016 dyna street bob for my first bike. put certain mods on it that I liked both to enhance performance and cosmetics. And I ride it just fine for my first bike. Although I have had experiance on alot of off road bikes. But I think your right if it is your first time twisting a throttle, I wouldnt suggest it either.
A lot of dirt riders can jump on street bikes and have no problems like you mentioned. They know control for the most part. A completely new rider might have a hard time with this bike between the power and the size.
I'm a gearhead when it comes to and love speed, been thinking of getting a cruiser. Probably gonna be a Dyna Streetbob and I've never twisted any throttle. I'm a ballsy cunt with a self proclaimed death wish. It'll be a piece of cake.
hey bro, so i am looking into my first bike, which harley should i get i was looking at a sportster but i am a big guy 6'1 215 and i want to have my gf as a passenger. what would you recommend? or if anyone out there has any recommendations. thanks
Quick question about the starter switch. So it doesn't have a key or something? Like if you park that in the Walmart parking lot, what prevents somebody walking and turning it on, and of course possibly stealing it? If there's nothing preventing that, not sure I would to leave that unattended. Not the best idea if you ask me. Just wondering about that.
Archinuk417 will you please do a review on the fat bob dyna? Particularly comparing it to this street bob. I'm looking at getting one of the two but can't decide haha
I rode the Fat Bob and the Street Bob yesterday and bought the Street. Found it a bit more agile than the Fat Bob and easier to split lanes. That said, the styling of the Fat Bob is kind of awesome. Both great bikes!
Yes, the Dyna Street Bob felt like the "truest" cruiser. I liked the ape hangers a lot. I liked the Softail Slim a lot as well but the Dyna takes it for me. The Sportsters were low on power and a rougher ride but I wouldn't put them in the same class as the Bob and Slim.
Barclay Neel I felt that this bike was a little more raw and had the classic cruiser feel. The victory is a little more refined. For some reason I really liked this bike and would choose it over the victory.
Not sure why people say beginners can't ride a bike based off "power". A Indian scout at 1133cc has 100 horsepower and is the beginner bike for Indian.. flick ability, breaks, size. All that is what beginners who are not speed demons need to worry about.
when I was shopping for a bike this was one of two Harley Davidson bikes I looked at in the end I couldn't justify the price for the lack of power, warranty, and build so I bought myself a Victory Highball for 10K less and got more. ...I like the Harley Davidson bikes but they just cost so much.
And that's where you fail a Harley rider doesn't buy a Harley because it's the best bike,,, because it's not ,,,, we buy it because it's a cult it's a culture it's a brotherhood ... You buy a bike and you make it your own ...you will spend LOTS of money making powerful ,,, true ,,, BUT it will be a wild stallion brother and no matter what people say if you buy a Harley yes you will spend a lot money but in resale value no one,,, NO ONE can beat a Harley your bike will cost half in a year in 3 years your bike will be worth next to nothing and that's the difference with Harley ... But hey .... To each it's own ride safe!!
Dude I said that when you buy a Harley is because of the culture because of the brotherhood because of the resale value because you want to make it your own,,,, WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU READ THAT IT WAS TO IMPRESS SOME ONE?!!!!!!!! when did those reason I gave you become the wrong reasons to buy a Harley ?!!!! My reason are exactly the reasons that would make a rider feel good... If economy is your reason for not buying a Harley then it's your reason!!! My reasons are the same of many and never once I said that it was to impress some one... You buy whatever makes you feel good and if Japanese cruiser makes you feel good then Good for you. My original comment was that a Harley rider buys a Harley not because this are the best bikes in the world ,,,because they are not ....we buy them because of the reason I posted above.
well weekend bikers need to leave this bike alone. I use mine as primary ride and back and forth to work. 1690 cc and 98 torque. love how everyone goes to harley and takes it for a 4-7 mile ride and gives review. had mine 1 year now. great bike. only have 4300 miles on it because got where I could not ride it for 2 months. but going to do an owners review of this bike.
Honestly dynas can be beginners bikes. I feel like sportsters you will grow out of once you get past the beginner phase. With a dyna theyre small enough to start with, and big enough that its a worthy investment.
NOT FINDING NEUTRAL? ? ? ? NO, I CAN'T HAVE THAT. THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN ON MY 2016 SUZUKI, WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND SPANKING NEW. HOW MANY MILES TO DATE? OVER 8K, NOW. THE WAY IT RAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IS THE WAY IT RUNS NOW. MAYBE IT CAN BEAT A SPORTSTER 1200. THAT'S A STRONG MAYBE. I'D RATHER HAVE A SMOOTHER RUNNING BIKE WHERE YOU CAN FIND NEUTRAL EASILY AND NOT HAVE ANY FLOATING NEUTRALS.

I have the 2015 denim black streetbob. I love it. nice review.
love the bob... wife has one and I've rode it 700 miles in one day several times and it was more comfortable than my road king.
Do you have any videos of your wife riding her street Bob? I'd love to see them. I bought a street Bob and it just feels so heavy. For me. It's my first bike.

Great reviews bro, question which would you buy with your own money the bob or yamaha stryker? I know, i know yamaha isn't a harley but the stryker is a sexy looking bike
Nice review thanks. Hey this bike or victory vegas?
that nob under the speedometer is the key guys
Hey archinuk, what's your camera setup? I'm starting to record my rides and I want to do it just like yours. Thanks!
It really depends on the person honestly, if that person may feel uneasy about it than they may want to consider other options....they just need to understand and respect what they're getting themselves into...
I have a 2016 Street Bob. Great review/ride.
Would you say that Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob would be good for long road trips?
nice review bud!
Thanks.
Hey mate great video, just curious, how tall are you? Im looking at this bike at the moment but im 5'9 ft tall and im worried ill be too short
I'm 5'11. I don't think you'd have a problem. The bike is short itself.
+archinuk417 I'm 5 foot 3 and the big twins are to much trouble for me to ride, I am used to bikes being to big for me to be honest, so nothing much fazes me if I can get tip toe on the floor at least.

Jesus id buy that green FXDB right now if it’s available tbh the color alone is enough of a selling point
Nice video :)) nice sound. Do you film with a helmet camera or with a chestcamera?. Regards from germany
This is a GoPro mounted on the chin of my helmet. I run a mic from the camera into my helmet.
+archinuk417 very nice :)
Is there a big difference in vibration between this bike and the sportsters?
its called a primary cover. theres a chain in there connecting the engine to the transmission 🖒

ya man your right great videos by the way
frank Valente Thanks for watching!
I'm a gearhead when it comes to and love speed, been thinking of getting a cruiser.

There is a key fob.
+archinuk417 Okay. That would make me a lot more comfortable buying that, I was kinda worried about the theft issue there for a minute. Thanks
I was wondering the same thing when I first rode it.
If you have mid controls you won't notice the air box there. but all in all you can't really hug the tank in this kind of bike.
Archinuk417
will you please do a review on the fat bob dyna? Particularly comparing it to this street bob.
I'm looking at getting one of the two but can't decide haha
I rode the Fat Bob and the Street Bob yesterday and bought the Street. Found it a bit more agile than the Fat Bob and easier to split lanes. That said, the styling of the Fat Bob is kind of awesome. Both great bikes!
would you recommend this for a newer rider
The dyna street bob was my first bike and i was super happy with it, what ever you like go with it!
Out of the two Sportsters, Streetbob, and S Slim, it seems like you really enjoyed the Streetbob the most. Would that be an accurate assumption?
Yes, the Dyna Street Bob felt like the "truest" cruiser. I liked the ape hangers a lot. I liked the Softail Slim a lot as well but the Dyna takes it for me. The Sportsters were low on power and a rougher ride but I wouldn't put them in the same class as the Bob and Slim.
+archinuk417 How did this compare to the Victory 8 Ball? Preference?
Barclay Neel I felt that this bike was a little more raw and had the classic cruiser feel. The victory is a little more refined. For some reason I really liked this bike and would choose it over the victory.
+archinuk417 thanks man
Barclay Neel it's all personal preference.you would have to ride them to see what you like better.
What would be your verdict on this Street Bob vs the Victory Highball?
I personally liked the Street Bob a little better. It felt more raw.
Cool review
whats your opinion...streetbob vs indian scout...thats the two im deciding between...
Adrian Harvey Indian scout is cheaper that's for sure. I don't know what you're precise range but both are the same kind of bike.
Matt Williams ....thats exactly what i was looking for..u answered my concern..thanks

I love candy green
+Moto Virus I'll show you candy ;)
+archinuk417 HaHaHa
2:57 off to the right is that a Jeep Wrangler or a Hummer?
Wrangler.

Tony Vasconcelos I buy what I want cause I like it and I'm paying for it not cause of some
"Brotherhood"
And that's the difference in being a rider and being a Harley rider ,,,, day and night.
Tony Vasconcelos then your buying a bike for the wrong reasons a bike is meant to be enjoyed not to impress people
Dude I said that when you buy a Harley is because of the culture because of the brotherhood because of the resale value because you want to make it your own,,,,
WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU READ THAT IT WAS TO IMPRESS SOME ONE?!!!!!!!!
when did those reason I gave you become the wrong reasons to buy a Harley ?!!!!

well weekend bikers need to leave this bike alone. I use mine as primary

everyone goes to harley and takes it for a 4-7 mile ride and gives
review. had mine 1 year now. great bike. only have 4300 miles on it
because got where I could not ride it for 2 months. but going to do an
owners review of this bike.
Sweet baby jesus wish I could afford one
Why do people say a 1200 isn't enough power??? They literally have about the same power to weight ratio
WHATS A GOOD HARLEY FOR A BEGINNER
Honestly dynas can be beginners bikes. I feel like sportsters you will grow out of once you get past the beginner phase. With a dyna theyre small enough to start with, and big enough that its a worthy investment.
+AsisChronicles exactly what I wanted to hear thanx
any time brother
6 months you'll grow out of a sportster. my first bike was a street Bob
Does anybody know why some Dyna Streetbobs have Speedometers going from 0-120 and some from 0-220?
seth marquez 220 is in kilometers which is Canadian and European markets etc. and 120 is in mph.
nice
+motomax YES
+archinuk417 👌🏻
NOT FINDING NEUTRAL? ? ? ? NO, I CAN'T HAVE THAT. THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN ON MY 2016 SUZUKI, WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND SPANKING NEW. HOW MANY MILES TO DATE? OVER 8K, NOW.
THE WAY IT RAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IS THE WAY IT RUNS NOW. MAYBE IT CAN BEAT A SPORTSTER 1200.
THAT'S A STRONG MAYBE. I'D RATHER HAVE A SMOOTHER RUNNING BIKE WHERE YOU CAN FIND NEUTRAL EASILY AND NOT HAVE ANY FLOATING NEUTRALS.
Said acts of hooliganism would include, but not be limited to, leaving an empty starbucks cup on the side of the road.
You hooligan ;)
No key needed to start the engine? If you were parked in a lot and somebody who knew how to ride stole it, they could get away!
Or is it one of those "smart key" systems where the key fob has to be within a certain distance to work?
+MetsGiantsRangersKnicksNYSports it does take a key. Once it's switched on with the key then it's just a turn of the knob for on and off
dyna street bob limited edition is better. dyna street bob is a good bike.
Lol just a switch. That's how it used to be killer
