On Tuesday, January 19, Harley-Davidson finally stepped into the modern age with its first digital event, H-D 21. It was the perfect medium for the bike maker to unveil the new variant of the Softail Street Bob, one powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine. 1 photo
Aptly called Street Bob 114, the new machine is described as
“a tough-looking bike that was intended to be ridden hard.” The increase in displacement compared with the previous Milwaukee-Eight 107 means, of course, an increase in power and faster acceleration times.
According to the figures provided by Harley-Davidson, the 114 can do the 0 to 60 mph (96 kph) run 9 percent faster than before. But more importantly, this is the most power offered from the factory in a Softail chassis, with the powerplant churning out 119 lb-ft (161 Nm) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
