First up, Harley says the new Street Bob is the lightest of its Softail models, and powered by the new Milwaukee-Eight engine. Considering it also boasts 114-cubic-inches of said eight-valve V-twin, it’d be a good guess that it won’t lack for grunt. Harley officially says there’s 119 lb-ft of torque and that the revitalized 2021 is 9-per-cent quicker to 96 km/hr than the previous-generation Street Bob. If you
do need more grunt, Milwaukee will also sell you a Screaming Eagle III kit, with huge 4.155-inch pistons and an SE8-447 big-bump cam that pumps those 114 cubes up to 122 c.i.d and 15 per cent more horsepower. Let the fast times roll.

Sifting through the many announcements made by Harley-Davidson during its online event on Tuesday, we felt a bit disappointed at what we got to see. Sure, we got a new, more powerful Street Bob, extra fittings for the CVOs, and even a new sound system, but we didn’t get anything to really get our hearts pumping. 9 photos
It may very well be that
the something we were waiting for is the Pan America, but that one is getting its separate event on February 22. So, until then, we’re only left with what we’ve already seen, and the cherry on this rather tasteless cake consists of the revisions made to Harley’s baggers, the two-wheelers the company itself describes as being

It was a big day on Tuesday for American bike maker Harley-Davidson, which for the first time decided to present the novelties for the new model year through a digital event called H-D 21. We got to see most of the plans the bike maker has for the new year, but some things, like the full details on the Pan America, were left out (we expect more on that at the beginning of next month). 12 photos
We’ve already talked about one of the major developments planned for this year, the launch of the Street Bob powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, but there are news on other fronts as well.

With this increase in displacement comes a small boost in horsepower from 85bhp to 92bhp and a little boost in torque from 106ftlbs to 115ftlbs.

Offering the 114 option now makes the Street Bob one of the more attractive Softails. As such a simple bike, it’s the perfect base for customising but choosing the Street Bob previously meant picking the small engine (which obviously makes you less of a biker…).
