2021 FXBBS Street Bob 114 in Vivid Black<\/p><\/div>\n

So, we now know what\u2019s coming out of Harley-Davidson for 2021<\/strong>, most of which comes down to reading between the lines coupled with some quick research.<\/p>\n

Gone are both XG750 models, and despite showing you a 2021 XL1200N previously, we will not be getting that here \u2013 or any Sportster despite the EU extending the end of series limit to the end of 2021. If you want a new Sportster, you\u2019d best get down to your dealer, sharpish.<\/p>\n

That means that the smallest, least expensive new Harley-Davidson is now the 107-inch Softail Standard with prices starting at \u00a312,995 \u2013 an unexpected rise of \u00a31,500 over the 2020 model \u2013 making the new entry level Harley more than twice the price of the Street 750. Luckily it is at least three times the bike.<\/p>\n

Gone too is the base Low Rider, Deluxe and FXDR, but I\u2019m not sure there will be too much wailing and gnashing of teeth at the news.<\/p>\n

In their place, we have two upgrades to existing models.<\/p>\n

The Street Bob 114 is now substantially different to the aforementioned Softail Standard that was launched a year ago, which is a good thing because they were very similar. It has turned the former entry-level bobber into a high status model in terms of paint and graphics, quite apart from treating it to the 114-inch motor. That makes it by far the cheapest 114-inch M8 at \u00a313,995 \u2013 a weighty \u00a31,700 more than 2020 but worth it for the motor alone: the improved paint and pillion are the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n
