The Sportster S has nothing really going for it in my opinion. It has abandoned the classic Harley styling, and it also lacks the performance and handling of similarly styled bikes in the same price range. At least the Street Bob doesn't portray itself as a performance motorcycle, people are paying for the classic Harley look. The Sportster S doesn't live up to the hype.

And I've got news for you, that tail light license holder is rad legit cool ! Its not about what it looks like from the side, its about what it looks like from BEHIND. The more time I spend with my Sportster S the more I like it... I actually love the pipes, the sound, the feel, the LEDs all-around, and the tail light assembly is absolutely legit; I'm just sayin. Also, the state-of-the-art technology package installed on this baby is second to none (Pan America same) and that 4 inch TFT display is AWESOME... again, no comparison with the Street Bob... sorry. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Heritage Springer Softail 2003 (antique) ... style, sound, feel, color (gun metal blue)... but my go-to bike is the Sportster S, hands down, no doubts. marcus PS edit Obviously , I went with the Sportster S 2021 Midnight Crimson

Here’s why the Sportster S isn’t a great motorcycle… it has no purpose. Meaning, you can’t tour on it, it’s not a track bike, it’s not for customization, it’s not for beginners, it’s not a heritage replica, it’s not an adventure bike, it’s not really anything…. I guess if you want 120 hp to ride around town for 30 minutes at a time, then it’s your bike. Other than that, there’s a better option at that price point for every style of motorcycling. I like my street bob because I’m growing with it… if I get power hungry, I’ll just go stage 2 or stage 3… if I want to do light touring., the road warrior fairing has me covered. If I want to do big miles, I’ll get an FXRT fairing. Bags? Plenty of options. More comfort? It’s upgradeable. The sportster s isn’t great at anything really besides making power and you can’t make it become anything else.

Hey mate, regarding the rear light and number plate holder, incase it hasn't been said already. The sportster is conforming to standards required in many European markets, where the 'fender' has to extend beyond the rear wheel. They do that by making that rear section be part of the 'fender' it's ugly as sin but legally required in many countries, we see it a lot in Australia and everyone changes it immediately.

I rode a VROD (the 1130cc with 115HP and 74ft lb torque) for the last decade until I got rid of it this year for the 21' SB. I can tell anyone who may think the SB with the 114 (90HP with 120ft lb torque) isn't going to have enough power. I have 1400 miles on my 21' SB, yesterday went a little hard off a start, spun the tire and when it gripped, the front wheel was off the ground! Not by much, say 6 inches, but that is the first time I've had the wheel of any of my Harley's off the ground. That bike continually surprises me. It is definitely the hooligan bike of the classic Harley styles. I highly recommend the Street Bob. It doesn't have the top end of the VROD, but it FEELS soooo much more powerful than those low torque numbers the Revolution engines put out. Lets face it, there is not enough road to need all that top end horsepower numbers, we need light to light power which then you need the 114. Besides with the wide tires, that Sporty is gunna have some troubles in the corners. She looks built to go fast in straight lines only, just like the VROD. The VROD could not hold a line in a corner if its life depended on it and the Sporty looks to be the same. I like where Harley is taking things, I'll just hold out until they have figured it all out first.

Great Comparison man. I literally just went thru this at the dealership.___ Been riding Italian bikes for the past 25 + years. Had a 92 Sportster back in the day but I was doing a lot of track stuff and the sportster had to go. I always loved the look of Harley’s but they just kinda didn’t fit what I was doing. Anyway Fast forward to 2021 - Harley put the 114 motor in the softail frame - that had me doing some deep thinking. The other thing that got. me in the dealership during Christmas is the Street Bob has mid controls.. That was the only way I could make the transition to a cruiser. I’ve ridden some of my friends Harley’s over the years and for some reason forward controls always felt kinda F***ed up to me. Anyway when I got to the HD dealership the sales associate was real cool, we talked bikes for a while. He asked me if I had seen the new sportster. He put the bikes next to each other and I went over every detail. The sportster’s power is closer to what I have now, inverted adjustable shocks , more sport oriented cruiser, etc. There was a lot of reasons on paper why I could have easily went with the Sporster. Bottom line - that Street Bob is Seriously F***in Beautiful. Clean and Mean. Plus - That motor in That Frame ⁉️ A few tweaks and this thing is a F**kin Animal😈❕ I think you did an excellent job at describing the real differences between those 2 bikes man. The Sporster is bad-ass , no doubt, but for me in the end - it HAD to be the Street Bob 🤘. Later Brother - EXCELLENT COMPARISON VIDEO ✅

I have a street bob and both of these top out at the same speed as a 400cc unless you throw quite a bit of money at the street bob and at least a tuner on the sportster s

My next season 2022 will start with a Streetbob. After riding an Iron883 for 6 years it should be a good next step.

Street bob all day I love the old school look. I would just throw an exhaust on it and that’s it. I’d just ride it.

I think a more comparable bike would be the sportster S to a fat Bob.

Looks like the Sportster S has 4 screw holes tapped under that plastic piece. I would assume for the passenger seat.

@ThrottleBlip - After watching your honest reviews and ride on the Sportster S, it’s really, really grown on me (the Sportster S). This bike is next level, but even more, Harley’s in general are growing on me! Thanks for producing and posting your videos!

I agree. The only problem is getting them both at the same time. This sportster sold and they didn't have any fat bobs when I was recording these. The struggle is real.

I'll wait for the "base" version of the Sportster S. I have a feeling that it will be a great bike.

Harley marketing has to be high if they're thinking I'm going to ever get that hideous thing over the Street Bob, period. Let alone for the same money, lmao.

Hmmm... Had they somehow managed to make the new Sportsters air-cooled I would have at least test ridden it and decided between these two bikes... Given that I would keep looking at that hideous radiator, the Street Bob 114 was an easy choice. No regrets whatsoever on the Street Bob. Train loads of pull, sounds glorious with a full system and handles so well, I feel no need on getting back on a sports bike and hanging with my fast mates in the hills... In fact, they have trouble staying with the Street Bob on many sections 😄 It's a fun bike and you'll be hard pressed to find fault. One very happy customer right here for the Street Bob 114. Superb bike. Love it.

Comparing the engines, I just rode a fat bob 114 and although it's faster than my old ride (Yamaha 1300 vstar) and sounded great, it wasn't scary like the Sportster s. The acceleration was not even in the same class. Yes the exhaust sounds like a scooter, but new pipes will fix that. Power is crazy.

I’m looking to get a Sporster S , I’ve had plenty of really cool conventional Harleys and currently own a 17 Breakout and a 54 Pan. I would be selling my Breakout to get the new Harley. After sitting on one I want one and I can make it look cool like my past bikes . Thanks again for your Review .

I don't think these bikes are competitors at all. If you want an around town cruiser get the street bob. If you want cruiser style but with performance, technology, features, modernity, and to keep up with some naked sport bikes, get the sportster s. Personally I would get a softtail standard AND a sportster s if I could.

Hmmm i dont understand the comparison … one is a crusier one is basically a naked racer(hidden in a crusier suit) in the way the bikes behave…and performance… In cash they are the same, but its like comparing a R7 to a 883 Hd… due to price tag..🤔

Very good comment about respect if you are a beginner. I drove high powered bikes many years ago and I’m about to get back into it but in order for me to stay safe I know that I have to respect the bike and my environment it’s absolutely crucial. Having said that I’m in New Zealand I’m trying to get one of these or an Indian Scout bobber. Shipping is just insane nothing is getting here spirit lake just say sorry”perhaps next year” and pretty much the same from Harley. It’s so upsetting because I love both bikes the Indian and the holly. So now I’m going to just go for the DiavelX.

Wait a sec, 150lbs it a massive difference - it's like adding a passenger. People spend $$ to loose 1lb on a bike, the sportster and that new engine is achievement for HD and that is one of the fastest bikes they have ever made. Shame they are so hard to get right now

I have a Heritage Softail Classic, a Sportster, and a V-Rod Muscle. Puttin around town and shorter rides the Heritage and Sportster are great for that. But, when it's time to do some serious riding here in the North Georgia mountains the V-rod is pretty damn fun. It's not the best at high speed turns but when it straightens out it's a beast. Enter the Sportster S: The Sportster S looks like it will do everything I want it to do, with a very similar engine that the V-Rod has but now with great handling and power. Carving out these mountain roads is what the Sportster S was made for. Yes, I will own a Sportster S.
