Street Bob 117 of the 2025 model year presents itself as a powerful and agile cruiser, which combines the essence of the Bobber style with modern performance. with the new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic V-Twin , it delivers an impressive performance of 68 kW (92 hp) at 5.020 rpm and a maximum torque of 156 Nm at 2,750 rpm. This engine is matched to a wide and flat torque curve, so that there is always sufficient power available.
Visually, the Street Bob remains true to its minimalist and puristic style. The slim 13.2-liter tank and the short rear protection sheet underline the classic bobber look. The painting is supplemented by the legendary Stretched Diamond tank emblem in black and chrome, inspired by a design by Willie G. Davidson from the 1960s.
Street Bob 117 is offered in five colors:
• Billiard Gray (Chrome Finish)
• Vivid Black
• Centerline
• Iron Horse Metallic
• Purple Abyss Denim
The finish is only available in chrome , which also emphasizes the classic cruiser style.
The Street Bob 117 is available with two different bike types:
• Cast bikes for a modern and simple look
• Laced spoke wheels that are perfectly rounded off the classic bobber look and are optionally tube-free
The new two-in-one exhaust system ensures a robust sound and improves the engine output through an optimized air flow. The Showa® Dual Bending Valve chassis on the front offers precise road holding and a comfortable driving experience, while the rear central strut with handwheel ensures flexibility for the spring preload setting.
Harley-Davidson has also added technically:
• Driving assistance systems such as ABS, drive slip control (TCS) and drag torque control (DSCS), which also work in inclined position
• Three driving modes : road, sport and rain - the right setup for every use
• New display instruments with a 102 mm multifunctional display
• Improved fittings with ergonomic design
• USB-C connection to load devices on the go
Harley-Davidson has extensively maintained the Street Bob 117 model and gave it a plus of performance and comfort. In particular, the new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine and the revised chassis ensure a sovereign and dynamic driving experience-regardless of whether on the country road or on short trips. Street Bob 117 is a clear recommendation for everyone who is looking for a puristic cruiser with modern technology. Whether you absolutely need the strong engine is certainly an individual question, but in terms of price you know that there has not only been an upgrade in terms of engine.
Street Bob (FXBB)
V2-Motor: Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic, displacement: 1923 cm3
power KW (PS)/U/min: 68 (92)/5020 (34 (46)/5020), torque NM/U/min : 156/2750 (113/2000) Prices ex works/status 01/2025: RRP Germany: from € 17,500, RRP Austria: from 21,200 €, RRP Switzerland: from 17:900 CHF
With an entry -level price of 17,500 euros , plus a flat rate and other costs, the Street Bob 117 is definitely not a bargain. There can be no question of a classic entry -level model at this price. However, one also has to take into account that in 2025 it has some new equipment, which relativizes the price a bit at least in the head.
The driving modes -road, sports and rain-in particular, are a sensible addition, especially in combination with the stronger 1923 cm³ Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine , which goes forward 92 hp This adaptation clearly takes off the Street Bob from the simpler cruisers.
For drivers who measure over 1.80 m size , however, the desire for pre -laid out footrests arise. The standard seating position fits better for medium -sized drivers. But despite the price, Street Bob 117 remains an exciting bike for everyone who wants to combine classic bobber style with modern technology.
