Overview

Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson FXDB Street Bob, a true gem in the custom-cruiser category that embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion. With its iconic bobber styling, this motorcycle captures the essence of classic American motorcycling, appealing to riders who appreciate both form and function. Priced at around $12,999 in the U.S., the FXDB Street Bob stands as a versatile option for those seeking a blend of raw power and urban sophistication. Its minimalist aesthetics, characterized by a stripped-down look and a powerful stance, make it a standout in the Harley lineup, attracting both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. At the heart of the FXDB Street Bob lies a robust 1584 cc V2 engine, delivering a potent 125 Nm of torque at just 3000 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse offers exhilarating acceleration, ensuring that every twist of the throttle translates into a thrilling ride. The 6-speed gearbox allows for smooth and responsive shifts, enabling riders to effortlessly handle the urban landscape or open highways. Coupled with Harley's Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, the engine provides an efficient and reliable performance, making the Street Bob not only fun to ride but also practical for everyday use. The bike's air-cooled design, combined with a comfortable seat height of just 680 mm, makes it approachable for riders of various heights while still delivering a commanding presence on the road. The FXDB Street Bob is not just about performance; it's also loaded with features that enhance the overall riding experience. The steel tubular frame provides a rugged foundation, while the 49mm front forks and coil-over rear shocks ensure a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. Stopping power is assured with a single disc brake setup, featuring a 4-piston fixed caliper in the front and a 2-piston floating caliper in the rear. Riders can choose from a range of striking color options, including Vivid Black and Cool Blue Pearl, allowing for a touch of personal flair. With a generous fuel capacity of 17.30 liters, the Street Bob is ready for long journeys, while the electric starter ensures a hassle-free ignition every time. **
