and to showcase just how beautiful and interesting this region is, especially for motorcyclists &#8211; I jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n<p>It was therefore on a Friday morning, full of enthusiasm and anticipation, that I headed to Harley Rimouski with my buddy Isabelle.<\/p>\n<p>We were welcomed as if we were part of the family: the employees were so hospitable to us \u2013 whether it be staff in sales, parts or the clothing shop. We didn\u2019t want to leave&#8230; but all that changed when we saw the beautiful bikes waiting for us in the garage. At that moment, we couldn&#8217;t wait to hop on and depart for our adventure!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31248&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_I_choose_the_Street_Bob\"><\/span><b>Why did I choose the Street Bob?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among all the options in the entire Harley showroom, why did I choose the Street Bob?<\/p>\n<p>First of all, in terms of looks, it&#8217;s definitely the one that spontaneously attracted me the most when I arrived at the dealership. It&#8217;s hard for me to put my finger on the specific features that drew me to this bike more than the others.<\/p>\n<p>I really like the <strong>shape of the handlebars, which are raised<\/strong> yet comfortable. I also really like the bike&#8217;s<strong> clean look<\/strong>: no bags, no windscreen, no fairing. This bike, in its purest form, doesn&#8217;t need all those accessories to look outstanding.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Built on a Softail frame, this bike is designed to be low, with an upright riding position. What&#8217;s more, <strong>it boasts easy customization,<\/strong> so there really is a way to make it unique and truly your own.<\/p>\n<p>The display screen is tiny and almost hidden from view, which I found not only unique and original, but also very practical and in line with the bike&#8217;s sleek character.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31244&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>I also appreciate the attention to detail on this bike, like the little Harley logo in the headlight, for example\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31242&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8230; as well as decorative seams on the bench.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31238&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The bike is available in three colors: Industrial Yellow, Redline Red and Vivid Black.

As mentioned above, the handlebars are just high enough to give the bike an aggressive look, without sacrificing comfort. I really like the riding position.<\/p>\n<p>I found the seat very comfortable and soft, yet supportive. What&#8217;s more, as a petite, 5-foot tall rider, this model didn&#8217;t intimidate me at all, despite all its power, because I had both feet firmly planted on the ground on either side of the bike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31254&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><b>Technical specifications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the bike&#8217;s specifications, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harley-davidson.com\/ca\/en\/motorcycles\/street-bob.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Harley-Davidson website<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIMENSIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length: 2,320 mm<\/li>\n<li>Seat height: 680 mm<\/li>\n<li>Ground clearance: 125 mm<\/li>\n<li>Wheelbase: 1,630 mm<\/li>\n<li>Fuel tank capacity: 13.2 L<\/li>\n<li>Weight, in running order: 297 kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ENGINE :<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Engine: Milwaukee-Eight 114<\/li>\n<li>Displacement: 1,868 cc<\/li>\n<li>Fuel system: Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that the bike loaned to me had a Screamin&#8217; Eagle air filter, which is an add-on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31252&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Riding_the_Harley-Davidson_Street_Bob_114_2023\"><\/span><b>Riding the Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 2023<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Leaving the dealership, I quickly adjusted to riding this big (for me), beautiful beast.
