Harley-Davidson Street Bob — Overview

The Harley-Davidson Street Bob is a cruiser bike available at a price range of Rs. 20,23,000 - Rs. 20,41,000 in India. It comes in 4 variants and 5 colours. It is powered by a 1923 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a ARAI mileage of 18 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Harley-Davidson Street Bob comes with anti-locking braking system. The Street Bob bike weighs 293 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13.2 liters. It develops a power output of 91.18 bhp and a torque of 156 Nm.

Three years after Harley-Davidson quietly pulled the Street Bob from India, it's back - and this time with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, a full suite of cornering electronics, and a Rs 20.23 lakh ex-showroom sticker. The Street Bob is the purist's bobber from Harley: stripped down, blacked out, running on a 19-inch front wheel with ape-hanger bars that signal exactly what kind of riding this is built for. Whether that price makes sense depends on how much the bar-and-shield badge matters to you - the Indian Chief Bobber starts at Rs 25 lakh, and the Triumph Bonneville Bobber is arguably better-rounded. But for weekend highway riders in metro India who want a proper V-twin rumble and authentic bobber character, the Street Bob makes a genuine case for itself.

Harley-Davidson Street Bob Latest Updates

View all

  • Harley-Davidson recalled approximately 17,000 Softail motorcycles in the United States - including the 2025-2026 Street Bob - over a rear brake line issue where contact with the Body Control Module (BCM) can cause a fluid leak and potential loss of rear braking. India-market bikes are not officially confirmed to be affected; Indian Street Bob owners are advised to contact their nearest authorised Harley-Davidson dealership for clarification.

What We Like

  • Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin delivers 156 Nm of torque low in the rev range - highway overtakes are a lazy, satisfying affair
  • Loaded with rider tech: cornering ABS, traction control, drag-torque slip control, cruise control, and TPMS are all standard
  • 680 mm seat height is genuinely low for a bike this size, making it more accessible than expected at 293 kg kerb weight
  • Bobber styling done right - ape-hanger bars, chopped fender, blacked-out engine - a head-turner in any city

What Could Be Better

  • At Rs 20.23 lakh ex-showroom (over Rs 25 lakh on-road in Mumbai), some rivals offer more equipment per rupee
  • 293 kg kerb weight makes slow-speed manoeuvring and Mumbai or Bangalore city traffic a genuine workout
  • Harley-Davidson's service network is thin outside the top 15-20 cities; maintenance costs are higher than Japanese alternatives

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Harley-Davidson Street Bob?

The Street Bob makes a strong case if you want an authentic Harley bobber without paying Road Glide money. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 is a great engine, the electronics package is genuinely modern, and the low seat is a welcome surprise for a big cruiser. The weight and city-traffic difficulty are real, and service costs will add up - but for highway weekend riders in metro India who want something with character, it's a credible buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of the Harley-Davidson Street Bob in India?▾
The Harley-Davidson Street Bob ex-showroom price starts at Rs 20.23 lakh for the base Billiard Gray variant and goes up to Rs 20.41 lakh for Iron Horse Metallic and Purple Abyss Denim. All five variants share the same Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine and full electronics package - the price difference is purely colour-based.
QWhat is the on-road price of the Harley-Davidson Street Bob in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The on-road price of the Harley-Davidson Street Bob in Delhi is approximately Rs 22.75 lakh, while in Mumbai it rises to Rs 25.18 lakh - a difference of over Rs 2.4 lakh due to Maharashtra's higher RTO rates. Cities like Kolkata and Lucknow come in around Rs 23.15-23.16 lakh, making them more affordable registration destinations.
QWhat is the mileage of the Harley-Davidson Street Bob?▾
The ARAI-certified mileage of the Harley-Davidson Street Bob is 18.18 kmpl. In real-world riding conditions in India, expect 15-17 kmpl on the highway and 12-14 kmpl in city traffic - the 1,923 cc Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine is tuned for torque, not economy. The 13.2-litre tank gives 180-200 km of highway range.
QWhat is the EMI for the Harley-Davidson Street Bob in India?▾
For the base Harley-Davidson Street Bob at Rs 20.23 lakh ex-showroom, a 20% down payment with a 48-month tenure at 10% interest works out to approximately Rs 55,000-65,000 per month. Most Harley-Davidson dealerships have finance tie-ups with HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance for quick approvals.
QWhat engine does the Harley-Davidson Street Bob use?▾
The Harley-Davidson Street Bob is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic - a 1,923 cc air and oil-cooled V-twin producing 91.18 bhp at 5,020 rpm and 156 Nm of torque at just 2,750 rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox and quickshifter.
QWhen was the Harley-Davidson Street Bob relaunched in India?▾
The Harley-Davidson Street Bob was relaunched in India on August 18, 2025, after being discontinued in 2022. The 2025 model brought the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, cornering electronics, and a revised two-into-one exhaust - a significant upgrade over the version previously sold in India.
QIs the Harley-Davidson Street Bob good for daily city riding in India?▾
The Harley-Davidson Street Bob is a challenging daily rider in Indian city conditions - its 293 kg kerb weight and 125 mm ground clearance make slow-speed manoeuvring and speed bumps demanding. The low 680 mm seat and three riding modes help, but it is best suited for weekend highway rides rather than bumper-to-bumper commuting.
QWhat is the service interval and maintenance cost for the Harley-Davidson Street Bob?▾
The Harley-Davidson Street Bob requires its first service at around 500-750 km, with subsequent scheduled services every 8,000 km at authorised Harley-Davidson service centres. Maintenance costs are higher than Japanese alternatives - annual upkeep at an authorised centre can run Rs 8,000-20,000 depending on the service type - and dealership coverage outside major metros is limited.
