Overview
Introducing the 2006 Harley-Davidson FXDBI Street Bob, a motorcycle that captures the very essence of American custom cruisers. Priced at an accessible US$ 13,195, this model stands as a tribute to the spirit of rebellion and freedom that characterizes Harley-Davidson's rich heritage. With its minimalist design, raw attitude, and robust performance, the Street Bob appeals to riders looking for a bike that combines classic styling with modern engineering. It’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement on two wheels, offering both seasoned riders and newcomers a chance to embrace the open road in true Harley fashion. At the heart of the FXDBI Street Bob is its powerful 1,442.15 ccm (88 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine, producing an impressive torque of 115.26 Nm (85 ft-lbs) at just 3,000 RPM. This generous torque band ensures exhilarating acceleration while maintaining a smooth and enjoyable ride. With a compression ratio of 8.9:1 and a 6-speed gearbox, riders can effortlessly cruise through city streets or tackle long stretches of highway with confidence. The air-cooled engine, complemented by an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, not only delivers a satisfying roar but also ensures efficient fuel management, making each ride as thrilling as it is economical. The Street Bob's nimble handling, aided by a rake of 29.0° and a trail of 119 mm, allows for confident cornering, giving riders the feeling of being one with the bike. The 2006 FXDBI Street Bob doesn’t just excel in performance; it’s also packed with features that enhance the overall riding experience. With a sleek, minimalist aesthetic available in bold color options like Vivid Black, Black Cherry, Deep Cobalt, and Black Denim, this motorcycle turns heads wherever it goes. The single-disc brakes at both the front and rear ensure reliable stopping power, while the comfortable seat and low ground clearance of 142 mm provide a relaxed riding posture. The bike's sturdy construction, with a weight of 287.6 kg (634.0 pounds), offers stability and confidence, making it a perfect choice for both urban commuting and weekend adventures. Plus, the 17.78-litre (4.70 gallons) fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump and more time enjoying the ride. **
