2021 Harley-Davidson Street Bob (FXBBS) Test Ride and Review 

The fact that you guys can make a full in depth review of bikes that don't have a ton of changes year to year and still make them engaging while offering new perspectives says a lot about your channel. It's funny because I have a softail low rider that I have no interest in trading but I still watch all your reviews start to finish.

This was my first Harley in Deadwood green, and I couldn’t be any more happier.

Well done fellas! You succeeded in distracting me away from the Pan America for a half hour. No easy feat! Keep up the great work

I'm trading in my 2020 Iron 883 for the Street Bob 114. I can't wait.

This channel has kept me sane during the winter lockdown here in the UK. Quality of production and information is brilliant and it's nice to see someone out enjoying their bikes!

While expecting my first HD, this is a treat. Thank you.

Again stellar review Matt. Love your content. Reviews have a very honest opinion and I always appreciate that.

I really enjoy these longer, more detailed-oriented reviews. 🤙

Laidlaw's Harley never fails to deliver... I put a deposit down on a white 2021 Street Bob, today. I'm up in Canada, but I always turn to this channel to deliver the best Harley content. Can't thank you enough for always giving your honest opinion. #Respect

Thank you Matt Laidlaw, I bought my '20 fxbb barracuda silver denim after watching your videos. Cheers from Istanbul.

Whole lotta respect to you guys for not just advertising and complimenting bikes (you're a dealer with sales targets after all) but pointing out weaker sides and discussing don't's also. This builds confidence in my opinion. Cheers from Poland

I'm really liking the orange and black. I always loved the styling of the Street Bob both old and new. It's retained it's Harley heritage by maintaining that old school bobber look.

This was the video I watched right before I bought my 2022 Street Bob 114 at my local HD dealership. Thanks and keep up the great content guys!! Best reviews by far.

Top channel for harley reviews, you guys pick apart these bikes in a intricate manner pointing out things that others over see, giving your viewers a more in depth understanding on H D. Way to gain costumers

-Learned much in this presentation. Thanks for all that peripheral information about the whys of manufacture's choices re: performance & looks.

I think this is one if not the best channel to learn about these bikes

It’s raining cats and dogs up here in Portland Oregon. Thanks for the Sunny Southern California ride today!

These videos that your putting out help tremendously everyone interested in learning more about the Harley line-up. I certainly hope you are around for a long time and continue to help the industry. Harley corporate should take note and compensate your efforts!

Always look forwards to your videos when a new model drops, if I were on the west coast I'd definitely buy one of your bikes.

Really great review guys, thank you. I took a test ride on the Street Bob yesterday at my local dealership and straight after bought the white bike that they had just unloaded from the truck! I pick it up on Friday - can't wait! All the best from Wales - or as we say "hwyl fawr!"

I love this channel! In a world gone mad Motorcycle's are the only thing that makes sense to me. Nick and Matt, Thank you

I agree with you making the Street Bob two up ready with the 114 gives it a leg up in my opinion, I still like the Low Rider S looks more but the new paint on the Street Bob is pretty sweet too.

Great video again! You guys make an Awesome team on Harley Reviews:)

I really like the changes to the Street Bob, even though I liked the Dyna Street Bob with the larger tank and traditional gauge on the console of tank. But is great paint schemes this year on them.

Great review. Definitely makes some good points that apply to my 883 also.

Started watching this channel after my first bike, back in 2017. It was a Honda Rebel 500. I said to myself, "my next bike will be a Harley" went to my local dealer in 2020, and picked up a softail standard. It now has cobra neighbor haters, and a softail slim tank. (black denim paint) The way my bike looks, is unique. Nobody has how my bike looks like, and that is why Harley Davidson is number one in my book. You make it your own. Even though i got the 107, its still enough to carry bags, and a very pretty lady. ;)

Great video thanks Matt!!

Truly a great video. Lots of great information instead of just vlogging on the bike. Thank you.

Thanks for this video. I’m getting mine here in the next couple of days

Hmmm….best in depth review with actual very useful information. Nice job guys!💯👍🏽🏍🔥

thanks guys this video helped out a lot, I appreciate what you guys do

Originally from the SGV now out in STV in Arizona, lookin at this for 1st Harley purchase. This video is the most informative I've seen by far.

Brilliant red candy colored with the same graffics would be sooooo nice.....And all chromed too...but candy. Fan of shine paintins, a bike must shine!!!!! No more denims, mate paintings, satín....open the garage un the morning And let the sun show that beauty...

You guys do a nice job highlighting the pros and cons.

I think HD did a great job on the new Street Bob. You get a lot of bike for the money. Always informative. Matt and Nick, great job on going through the bike and what a rider should know when thinking of buying one.

So was waiting for this review. I watched every video i could find but i knew this was going to be the one that covered the bob the way it would need to be done to really get a feel for the bike short of getting to put hands on. 🤠

Just picked this exact bike up 4 days ago, I'm coming off an R6, this is sooooooo much better of a ride, I love it

I just ordered one of these 5 weeks ago and it finally arrived at the dealer straight from the factory! I got the stone washed pearl! next winter the 131 is coming

Love these reviews! Matt, you and your crew are doing a great job. I have a 2019 HD Roadster and leaning towards trading it in for this bike. I'm in San Diego but willing to take a drive up there. Respect Laidlaw HD!!!

Amazing and honest reviews, particularly coming from a dealer. Really appreciate these and I'm debating going from a Triumph Street Triple R to a Street Bob. I know, big difference. Thanks again!

The tank graphics are absolutely perfect! Great job Harley! My favorite Harley logo is the #1. I love the iconic black and orange. Adding the 114 was a stroke of genius. This will probably be one of their biggest sellers this year? I’m also a huge fan of mids. Heck, I guess I should probably trade in my sporty for this bike.

A gloss black one with the same graphics in satin black would look good.

Great video Matt!

Just snagged me a 2022 Street Bob! I got the red one. This is my first Harley ever and I’m so stoked! I watched a ton of your videos and it helped me tremendously in making a decision!

I've sold many of these already and I'm really considering getting one myself.

Loving the looks of that bike. Considering adding a second bike and after seeing this it is a serious contender. Great job fellas

Perfect happy hour local bar bike!

Just test one of these at a Harley demo truck event. What a great bike, light , very nimble, and felt very snappy it felt faster and more responsive than the low rider s. Also as stated in the video the brakes are more than capable of stopping this bike. Felt good to ride a stripped down bike without all the clutter.

Hoped to see Matt on the bike.. I'm 6'6" and a similar build than Matt and I'm dying to see how I would look on it (without scheduling a test ride just yet). Cheers from Prague, Czech republic 🔥

A 131 kit on this would be the way to go

That's a spectacular B-roll, excellent camera work

Like the vintage look to black and Orange looks great thanks for the video take care

I just purchased one from Oakland HD, its been in the service department or a week awaiting parts. I can’t wait 2 ride this bike along the coast

Glad to see Harley make this bike what it should have been. Love the colors too. Would be hard to choose between the Deadwood Green and the White. Spoiled by cruise control though so I would have to add that.

near perfect naked bobber style bike . amusing to me is you guys talked a lot about HD adding the passenger seat and pegs , but that's one of the first things i'd take off if i bought one :) different strokes and all .

What an absolutely fantastic and honest review ☺️ 👍👍 A from the UK.

Great video thank you. Still have my 2012 FXDC but i really like the Bobber. Iam pushing 72😁 maybe a delux for my next one. Great information thank you God bless. 🏍🇺🇸

Love mine. 4 months in and no complaints at all. Excellent braking force, totally on point. Any more brake and it's overkill for fast road riding. Forks are beautifully calibrated, well sorted chassis, everything is buttoned down and tight as a drum. A beautifully engineered bike. Advantages of a single rotor/caliper is the lower unsprung weight, improving performance and handling further. A set of stickier tires and it will absolutely rail and keep with just about anything on the road. A great all-round power cruiser. A full system exhaust and stage 1 and don't touch the rest. It's a back to basics simple, raw motorcycle, and that appeals to the uncomplicated buyer that wants it that way.

I just bought the deadwood street bob and, as a newer rider, i think it is a great and very fun bike. I’m a larger guy, but the handling is so easy, the ride is smooth in town and on the highway, and it just looks so clean. The large engine is a plus, as well as the higher handle bars. All coming as stock too, I’m very happy I went with this bike as my first Harley!

3:20… regarding 2up-capability the Sport Glide is the first one, not the Heritage ! Generally I love your reviews! You’re doing an awesome job! Greetings from Bavaria.

PERFECT IN-DEPTH REVIEW!!!!! I just purchased the 2022 STREET BOB yesterday after noon here in Colorado Springs!! The only difference from the 2021 would be the Mag Wheels which I think look insane!!!

Hi Matt absolutely love your channel, own a 114 streetbob from Maidstone Harley Davidson in Kent and have toured Devon and Cornwall in England about 900 miles each time no fairing just strap my things to the sissy bar. Been riding Harleys for 44 years and the 114 streetbob is the best Harley I've ever had the p.easure to ride.

Wanted a Harley since I was 6. I'm finally 8 days away from getting my first one. We've narrowed down the options in their inventory to 3 bikes in my price range. 2020 low rider s, 2022 street bob, and 2022 sport glide. I want small bags and a road warrior fairing on whichever bike I go with, but it was really hard for me to make a decision. Your videos are a HUGE help. Thanks

Last new bike purchase was a 94 Dyna Lowrider. Still have it. Over 100K miles. Been all over the East coast and southern states with it. No windshield just saddlebags. My new Street Bob is a good replacement so far.

Great informative video !

Awesome info all around. Lil' feedback: when discussing certain specific parts of the bike that is right behind you, would be even cooler if we'd get to see those bits while you are talking about them.

godammit..I'm gettin one! thanks for the awesome vids!

Lucky for me I got to test ride a 2020 model last summer still can’t get out of my mind.

Amazing video!

I just sold my Dyna low rider S. Life kinda changed so I got my self a Wrx. Matt I swear to god the next Harley I buy is going to be from your dealership the Drive from Sacramento Ca to you is around 6 hours but it will be worth it.

Great bike. Gotta say for the price and engine it’s a good option. Me personally I’d go for the Fat Bob or Low Rider S but this is just as good

Really interesting to get your thoughts on twin Vs single front discs. Thanks for the insight.

Best looking Street Bob ever

We enjoy and trust your advice you opinion has made me move from Indian to HD I have just purchased a 2023 Street Bob big change from the Dyna’s. Have Fun.

Awesome video! I have an Iron 883 but am wanting to move up to the Street Bob. Is that too big of a jump? Also I totally agree with the blacked out tank graphic. If they had that, I probably already have it sitting in my garage 😂. I’m hoping for a black denim version

I was surprised when I sat on it how small and lightweight it was felt very balanced too

I got my 2020 and I love it

Hello,🇨🇦 from London Ontario Canada, when I was riding through the Rockie mountains,on my 1994 sportster,it was great, that was in 1998, and it was terrific, I rode home from Vancouver to London Ontario, the Evo 883 is the best motor of the motor company,

I do appreciate your information and I think you did a great job with the overview of the bike however putting a 114 in a bike with a 3.5 gallon tank was ridiculous by Harley. This is not your fault but overall I do feel the slim is the better barber with classic look and should have a 114 in it and I soon will. You are 100% correct that a bike with that type of power should have dual disc brakes it should actually be standard on the Slim by now

Great video guys...I love the street bob...

Great Video ……. You guys nailed it on the different characteristics of the Street Bob vs the Lowrider S. There’s definitely some confusion out there as to what Dual Disc front brakes actually do, and you did a great job at breaking it down . I went with the Street Bob…. Harley killed it with that bike man. I can’t get over how good this bike looks right out of the box- THEN they threw the 114 M-8 in the Street Bob. I HAD to buy this bike…. I always really liked the look of Bobbers but I was doing a-lot of Track stuff so that’s pretty much where my focus was . I’ve been riding mostly Italian bikes for 25+ yrs. ( with a few Triumphs thrown in for variety 🤔 ) , but that 114 motor in the Softail frame made me jump. That bike has GOT to be a Torque F**kin Animal 👿 Bought it in the winter 🥶 ❄️ . Didn’t Test Ride it - Didn’t Need To. I knew what it looked like before I went in , sat on it, decided it was more comfortable than anything I’ve ever owned, and bought it 🤷🏻‍♂️. I checked out the Low Rider S for a minute also….. For me it came down to looks ( and this Bike is F**kin Beautiful ), and what I wanted it for … I bought a Harley Street Bob to Cruise - I’ll keep the Ducati for the track / canyon carving. I don’t know though - once I start riding the Harley I’m not gonna want to go back to riding in a full-tuck position …. That S**t’s starting to hurt me man ❗️ Later Boy’s Great🤘 Video 🤘❕❕❕❕❕

Matt what happen to the podcact? You guys were doing great... bring it back please sir

I got to ride a Street Bob when it was in the Dyna family. It was AWESOME! I would imagine that being a Softail with the 114 it is even better now. But my heart belongs to the Fatboy.

Matt and Nick Another Great Review H-D Hit a Home Run With The 2021 Street Bob and 114 Engine if it Just Had 5 Gallon Tank...BTW When are They Putting 114 in Slim LOL

That graphic in black with the ghosted grey like on fat bobs would be mint

New camera? Sick production value. Love the video

I am one of the guys who would prefer the more subtle fuel tank with the black color and maybe just the Harley name on it. My hope is it will be an option for the 2022. If not ill still pick one up and just redo the tank on my own. Great review guys.

This guy is a good salesman. I’d buy a Harley from this guy. He turns the features into benefits with great examples.

Love my 2022. Redest thing I've seen on two wheels.

Sweet bikes. Dyna style with Milwaukee 8 fun, what's not to like. Personally I'd ditch the gaiters, but that's nit picking. You guys will shift loads of them, I'm sure!

Couldn't agree more with the need for a solid black option for a street bob.

Hey guys nice review. As an owner of a 19’ Streetbob I have to say ur underselling this bikes long range capability. With the steep price changes for the Heritage or even worse street glide price... this bobber can have quick detach saddle bags plus windscreen n two up comfy hammock seat for about $1500 Now that will destroy the bobber look but it gets ya from Detroit to Sturgis without issue. All of it can be changed out in 5 minutes. These are the most versatile bikes Harley makes and I’ve yet to see a salesman who knew it. Just sayin. I did the iron butt last year and only got sore for my shoulder having no cruise. But that’s been fixed for $12 now too lol

If I didn't buy my new Honda 1100 DCT, this was going to be my next choice. It's a nice bike for sure.

I had a 16 with the 103 and was a fun bike.. now with the 114 that bike would be a blast.. good move on HD part..

When in US I use to live in Santa Barbara or Ventura but next time I am in So Cal I will visit you. Ride a RG special 2020 by the way and love it. My third Harley. Love your videos

ya, they definitely should have come out with one in all black for sure, thats the only thing holding me back although that deadwood green is pretty sweet

I love the new frame and the engine. But I had the dyna street bob and the styling on that bike was so much better. I feel like they turned it into a softail version of an 883 low. The knocked it out of the park on fxlrs, flsb, fxfbs although the fxlrs def should have had cruise and a 117 but still a great bike.

I want that #1 Hoodie

Deadwood and the White just look cool!

All in all, a great bike. Been riding it since October. Handlebars are getting changed to Softtail Slim bars.
