2007 Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob Motorcycle reviews

Bought my '07 bob in june of this year & put 3000 mi. on it already. Been riding since '64. Owned several japanese & english bikes, from 160cc to 1000. This is by far & away the best bike I've ever riden. Handling, performance, comfort, looks, & sound. This heavy rocks. I love this motor. Show less

Pure pleasure once you change out the back breaking stock seat. The denim black is easy to clean and is a great color for this Dyna. Every gear feels great! I average 40mpg, mostly freeway riding. The gas gauge and low fuel light are useless, you have to use your trip meter. The stock pipes are a little on the quiet side but look so good that I'm not planning to change them. Show less

I've only had it for a few days but so far it's great. The fit and finish are top notch, mine is the pewter denim which looks like flat silver to me. The blacked out engine with the stainless fittings and bolts looks tough. It's going to take me a little bit to get used to the vibration at idle, my Triumph didn't have nearly so much, it smooths out at anything over 30MPH though so it's good. Wind blast is not bad up to 55 - 60 range, over that a windshield would be good. I haven't decided if the 6th speed is really useful yet but I'm sure my first long trip will let me know that. I'm pretty comfortable with the mid controls and just put highway pegs on so I can stretch out on long trips. If you get one, try it with the mid controls before you go right to the forwards, you may be surprised at how comfortable they are and they do give you much greater control over the bike. My first tank of gas got me 37MPG average. Now the bad: The rear suspension is rough and there is a whine in first gear that is pretty annoying. The neck mounted key is a little tough to reach and you have to make sure you take out the key when you shut off the bike because it will fall out. Mine has the factory alarm but you have to buy the siren separate, what good is an alarm that doesn't make noise? Kind of stupid to make you buy that separate when you already paid for the alarm. If you do decide to get forward controls, Harley has a bad design on this one, in order to remove the mid mount shaft, you have to remove the outer and inner primary covers, about 2 - 3 hours work for a dealer, not a cheap proposition. The gas light seems to go on when you still have 2 gallons in the tank, not an issue really but I think I am going to just use the mileage as my gauge for when it's time to fill up over the fuel gauge or the light. Overall I am very happy with the bike though. Show less

Wow. Great ride. Good handling, smooth freeway cruising and lots of power. Excellent back to basics motorcycle. Want to ride, get a Street Bob. Want to polish chrome, get something else. Show less

My experience with the 2007 H-D Street Bob has been a great one. Love the look, the feel and the performance of the new 96cin motor. Pipes could stand to be louder. Show less

THIS BIKE IS GREAT. I RODE MINE HOME FROM THE DEALER TODAY AND IT WAS AWESOME. I AM ADDING FOWARD CONTROLS NEXT WEEK BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE IF YOU HAVE LONG LEGS. PLENTY OF POWER AND SMOOTH SHIFTING. IF YOU LIKE OLD SCHOOL LOOKS, THIS BIKE HAS IT. THIS BIKE NEEDS NOTHING EXCEPT TO BE RODE....NUFF SAID. Show less

I traded in my 2002 1200 Sporty and what a rush the Bob is. Speed, quickness, and handling are far better than the Sporty. Comfort and old school looks is why I had to have this bike. Every one has a chromed out land yacht and this bike goes against all that. My only complaint is the huge tail light that looks like it came off of a newer Volkswagon Beetle. Oh well, after market spending on just a few items. The 6 speed is just unreal and makes long rides fun! Show less

What a kick butt, no crap motorcycle! This bike has it all. Awesome looks, powerful engine, excellent handling, and a very comfortable ride. The 6th gear is amazingly smooth! I came off a 2005 XL1200 and the Street Bob will out handle my old Sportster easily. The Mini apes are very well positioned and are truly comfortable. The only gripe I have is the fuel low light will illuminate when you still have a 1/2 tank remaining. I test drove the Victory 8-Ball before I decided on the Street Bob and I have to say the 8-Ball is a nice bike but feels cheaply made and very very frail as compared to the Harley. Once you've ridden a Harley, no other manufacturers machine feels as well built and stable. American tradition to the core. Hats off to HD for making an awesome throw back bike like The Bob! Buy it....you won't regret it!! Show less
