Hello everyone,

I would like to get you opinion on the street bob. I recently rode one and I like the feel of it. But with all things sometimes is hard to get a good feel with the first try. I have an 09 883C and I have been kicking the idea of going for a larger bike. I don't want to say I will do an upgrade because sometimes that is misleading. I also read posts here about people regretting selling their sportsters to get something bigger. What a dilemma? I didn't think I was going to like riding so much and now I want more power and comfort without going to the touring or deluxe line. So please I want to hear your opinions on the Street Bob.

I like the Street Bob. My next favorite bike straight off of the floor...except for the hubs. They would be powdercoated first thing. I wonder why they didn't do that anyway?

 

I like the dyna series in general. The handling is tighter than most of the softies and just as powerful on the long haul. Very nimble and comfortable enough that several hours on the bike wouldn't run you ragged.

 

i'd hav to agree with mreed... next to my 1200N, the Street bobs my nxt fave.
the sporty for me is a great bar hopper but for long hauls i prefer the bob

 

It's just like everything else in life- there's always a compromise. No machine (or person) is "best" for every situation. It's all a matter of matching up with what you do most and living with it the rest of the time.

 

If were to get a different bike it would be the Street Bob. I have rode a couple of them and they are very fun to ride. I like the way they handle and feel on the road. the only thing that has me still on my 1200c is i love the hell out of it and will never give it up. I guess if I ever get a Street Bob I will have 2 Harleys.

 

Bigger slower Sportster,get a 1200 kit for your 883.

 

Street Bob is definitely a good looking bike that I would love to own my self, but if you can keep the sporty. If you can't afford to have both now, start saving up! It should still be around this time next year. I would say you could save over the winter because you can't ride anyways, but then I saw you are from Texas. LOL That might be harder to do there than Indiana

 

I have a Street Bob, when I bought it I thought it was the coolest looking stock Harley I'd ever seen.Now I kinda wish I would have bought a Sportster.

 

I really like them.
