If straight-line speed is your priority, the Fat Boy takes the lead. With 6 HP more than the Street Bob, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Street Bob has a clear advantage. Weighing in 22kg less than the Fat Boy, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Fat Boy. Its seat height is 22mm lower than the Street Bob, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the fat-boy if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the street-bob-117 if you want the alternative brand character.
