A bobber with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 putting out 98hp at $17,999 - I can't help but grin at that combination of specs. The way Harley commits fully to turning a Sturgis-derived character into a proper production model is great. This is a bike that makes me want to closely compare how the equipment and chassis layout differentiate it from the existing lineup. There's more story here than the numbers alone tell.

98hp out of a 117ci air-cooled twin - it's about time fuel economy and noise start becoming a concern.

The name Deadwood, plus the Sturgis roots - that hits the spot, love the rebellious vibe.

Selling a bobber straight from the factory now, huh - used to be something you'd carve out yourself.

$17,999 - in Japan that'd probably land around 3 million yen out the door.

For the same budget, feels like an Indian Bobber comes with more equipment loaded on.

98hp out of a 117ci engine seems modest for the displacement, doesn't it?

Harleys are all about torque over horsepower, so that's clearly by design.
