Reviews of Harley-Davidson Fat Boy [2018-2019]

When a motorcycle makes 50 per cent more power than stock, it’s only fair that it gets enhanced show to match the increased go. That’s why this fat boy special is all matt-blacked, projector-lamped, smoked-lensed coolness. This is one harley with which you’ll never risk chrome-blindness, a condition endemic to harleys. We’re not too sure about those white/blue-light projectors, though – seems a bit too futuristic to be on a fat boy.

What really strikes you about the fat boy is that it’s a simple motorcycle – but everything is super-sized in typical american fashion. Fat boy, indeed. The overall effect is subtle but striking, and it looks like the fat boy a 23rd century terminator would ride. Thankfully, you don’t need to be built like arnie or have hydraulic-powered limbs to ride it.

Continuing to live up to its apt name, the fat boy weighs in at a massive 330kg. And like all harleys, you never really feel the weight, since like all harleys, it carries its weight as close to the ground as possible. Especially when you start moving, you forget that you’re commandeering (sounds like the right word for a bike this size) a mothership of a motorcycle. The fat boy dances pretty well, well enough to outrun a golden hayabusa with loud exhausts in fast-moving traffic. No kidding, that. It’s more nimble than a 330kg motorcycle has any right to

Awesome buying experience, smooth and stable ride on highways, many customisation options, rocking performance and sound, home service is a best part. I assure this bike is for all age people

Comfy ride on highway but a little bit irritating in crowded cities as the bike is heavy 327 kgs.

I didn't own this bike my brother do.Quite expensive.I have ridden so many bikes like ktm390,honda cbr. But this is something amazing.When i ride it at highways it's so amazing.It looks fabulous in black colour. It performs very well at highways but at crowded area it's quite heavy for me.Servicing and maintenance are also excellent.

Pros:

# brand harley davidson. None of the companies on planet can match brand image of harley davidson associated with cruiser bikes.

# ride quality and manoeuvrability. If you're new rider, you'll be able to ride it with ease with little practice.

Cons:

# lack personalised attention regarding sales. I had to wait nearly an hour to get test ride of this beast.

Harley-davidsons are not really about outright power. You’d never end up using all of it anyway. Harleys, to surmise, are about knowing you have the power. And sometimes, you need to know you have twice the power.

That’s what this, the fat boy special, gives you. Why, what’s the point, you ask? so did we, and realised that that’s something you can understand only after riding it. At which point you’ll counter your own question with a strong ‘why not?’
