2024 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114

The Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 is essentially a Softail Standard with a larger Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, flashier paint, less chrome, a tiny pillion seat, and fork gaiters. Styling aside, what you’re really paying the extra $2,000 for (over the Softail Standard) is the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, which produces a claimed 94 hp at 4,750 rpm and 119 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm—that’s 7 additional horsepower and 9 lb.-ft. of torque compared to the Standard’s M-8 107. Although, honestly, the “No. 1″ graphic on the tank may be worth the price of admission alone—if you’re a Mert Lawwill fan or nostalgic for the glory days of flat-track racing, that is.

The Street Bob 114 accomplishes a couple of things in H-D’s cruiser lineup. First, it’s a bridge from the “entry-level” Softail Standard to the likes of the pricier Low Rider S and beyond. The Street Bob (and the Softail Standard, for that matter) also goes a long way to fill the minimalist cruiser gap vacated by the Sportster 883 and 1200 series. From the retro, the fat-tired, the slammed and power-mad, and the West Coast–styled, Milwaukee’s cruiser lineup is full of strong personalities. The Street Bob anchors the line with minimalist bobber styling that’s an enduring classic.

The 2024 Street Bob 114 starts at $16,999 and increases from between $350 and $650 depending on color.
