2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 117 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 117 relies on a 1917.4 cc (117 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 4,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 162.7 Nm (120 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 51.1 HP per liter and a 2,100 rpm working window between peak torque (2,500 rpm) and peak power (4,600 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Street Bob 117 measures 297.1 kg (655 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 655 mm (25.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,630 mm (64.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.2-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 264 km (164 miles) between fill-ups.
