Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob FXBB 2020

Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob FXBB 2020

The Street Bob was formerly a Dyna Street Bob, but with the many changes to the new Softail models, its integration into this series is entirely legitimate. The powerful and modern Milwaukee Eight powerplant provides plenty of punch and the new chassis with better suspension elements gives stability. Only the single brake disc at the front is good, but could be better. On the other hand, the look with LED headlights and many black parts is completely convincing - a successful entry into the Softail family.

Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 N Iron 2020

Both the new Sportster XL 883 Iron and its larger sister Sportster XL 1200 X Forty-Eight benefit from the revised suspension - the rear shocks dampen more sensitively and are infinitely adjustable in spring preload. The front forks also do a better job thanks to the progressive spring winding, and sagging is efficiently prevented. The fat 49-millimetre fork on the Forty-Eight in particular also makes a good visual impression.

Sensitive and stable chassis

typical Sportster engines with the necessary vibrations

comfortable seating position

acceptable lean angle clearance

brakes with ABS

somewhat sluggish gearbox
