Meet the 2012 Harley‑Davidson FXDB Street Bob—a stripped‑down, attitude‑loaded throwback to the golden era of post‑war bobbers. This bike is all about pure riding: no frills, no nonsense, just fists‑in‑the-wind freedom with its stainless‑steel mini ape‑hanger handlebars and iconic minimalist styling. Harley took the essentials, blacked them out, chopped them down, and created a bike that screams ride me long before you thumb the starter. Powered by the legendary Twin Cam 96™ V‑Twin, the Street Bob delivers strong, low‑end torque and that unmistakable Harley rumble. A solo bobber seat, Fat Bob® tank, and mid‑mounted controls give you a classic, connected feel to the road—exactly how a true bobber should ride. The Street Bob isn't just a motorcycle—it's an attitude, a throwback, and a statement all in one brutally beautiful package.
