2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob Review
The 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob receives a major shot in the arm for this model year. By upgrading the powerplant to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic V-Twin, Harley has transformed its lightest, most stripped-down Softail cruiser into a hot-rod bobber with serious grunt. Dressed in the eye-catching Centerline Yellow finish with factory optional tubeless laced wheels, this build hits the sweet spot between traditional custom attitude and modern performance.
Powertrain & Performance Upgrade
Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic: Upgraded from the previous 114ci mill, the 1,923cc engine delivers 98 horsepower @ 4,600 RPM and a massive 120 lb-ft of torque @ 2,500 RPM.
Torque-Driven Character: Power delivery is smooth and immediate right off idle. With 120 lb-ft available low down, the bike effortlessly shoots out of corners and pulls hard without needing to be revved out.
Refined Sound & Tuning: A updated 2-into-1 exhaust system provides the deep, signature Harley rumble while complying with modern emission and acoustic standards.
. Tech, Safety & Ride Modes
Selectable Ride Modes: For 2025, the Street Bob features electronic ride modes (Road, Rain, and Sport). Switching into Sport Mode sharpens throttle response to make full use of the 117's instant torque.
Cornering Safety Enhancements: Standard rider aids include Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS), Traction Control (C-TCS), and Drag-Torque Slip Control (DSCS), along with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Modern Cockpit Controls: Features updated hand controls, USB-C charging port, all-LED lighting (including a 5.75-inch LED headlight), and an upgraded 4-inch display with digital gear, range, and ride mode indicators.
 Ergonomics & Styling
Classic Bobber Stance: Mini-ape handlebars, mid-mounted foot controls, a low 25.8-inch laden seat height, and a chopped rear fender give the bike a raw, upright riding posture.
Centerline Yellow & Laced Wheels: The Centerline paint scheme brings a bright, classic retro contrast to the blacked-out engine and chassis, while the optional tubeless laced wheels complete the classic wire-spoke look without the hassle of inner tubes.
The Verdict
The 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 117 is the ultimate blank canvas bobber. It strips away unnecessary bulk while packing big-bore Milwaukee torque, up-to-date rider tech, and unmistakable style—making it one of the most exciting lightweight cruisers in Harley-Davidson's current lineup.
