    my dream bike was is and will be very comfortable to ride good for weekly rides unforgettable experience I suggest who loves cruiser can go with this bike and good grip on roads is heavy but while riding feels light as usual harley Davidson is a fabulous outstanding brand, it was is and will be the beast.

  • Fat boy all the way !!

    4 years ago


    Pankaj Sabharwal

    Fat boy is a keepers motorbike. Very sturdy, very good suspension and handling. It’s not very heavy while riding. A lot of customization can be done on the motorbike. Pros : Abs brakes. Cons: Tyres gets worn out in 10000km of riding. One set of tyres cost about 35k. Also my bike some issues with the cam shaft counter weight. Too much vibration in the bike and hence had to send to the service station. Parts are not easily available.

    Fatboy is awesome experience overall for long ride and speeding breaking overall good if you have budget for buying the harley then i will suggest only fatboy riding comfortably and all good. About the services it is fine and look wise when i riding on traffic people are looking my bike and that time we will get some satisfaction Only thing i found in fatboy is overheating in traffic apart from over heating rest every thing is good.

    Harley davidson is beautiful bike but handle it with care....Cause its very expensive.... Fuel consumption is very high so keep refuelling it time to time.....The best way to keep it protected is to lock it in the room and keep it safe.This bike is for the well maintained road only. This bike is unapproved for uneven roads.This is a cruiser which makes an impact over viewers. Whenever you will ride over it you will feels like you are in a heaven.

    It was awesome experience for riding and i didn't find any cons for this bike, if i tell about the cons i can tell about the heat but i can handle if we ride long, over all i can give 5 out of 5, once we ride fat-boy definitely we will purchase at any cost. When we are taking test ride you will get to know about this bike, i don't know how to express about my riding experience, harley is harley there is alternate bike especially fat boy.

  • This bike is 1000 out of 10.

    6 years ago


    Vasu Gupta

    Harley davidson fat boy is my dream bike. I am really loving it's looks and appearance and the strong body adds to it's durability and strength. It's a great fortune to ride this bike. When we ride on it everyone's eyes are on us. It's also having a very powerful engine with dual exhaust, which is my favorite and which impressed me very much. If i have to rate this bike, i will always rate it 1000 out of 10.Thank you.

    Harley-davidson fatboy name is enough. All thing are excellent but after 1 hour continous drive then hold for some minute. Good for long distance ride. My maximum riding distance is ahmedabad to rajkot but felt free after drive. Thank you. In this price range it is very good.

  • Must buy harley davidson fat boy

    6 years ago


    Akash Rathod

    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

    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?’

    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.

    Fatboy is awesome experience overall for long ride and speeding breaking overall good if you have budget for buying the harley then i will suggest only fatboy riding comfortably and all good. About the services it is fine and look wise when i riding on traffic people are looking my bike and that time we will get some satisfaction Only thing i found in fatboy is overheating in traffic apart from over heating rest every thing is good.

    Harley davidson is beautiful bike but handle it with care....Cause its very expensive.... Fuel consumption is very high so keep refuelling it time to time.....The best way to keep it protected is to lock it in the room and keep it safe.This bike is for the well maintained road only. This bike is unapproved for uneven roads.This is a cruiser which makes an impact over viewers. Whenever you will ride over it you will feels like you are in a heaven.

  • Harley davidson fat boy

    5 years ago


    Rinu Raj

    It was awesome experience for riding and i didn't find any cons for this bike, if i tell about the cons i can tell about the heat but i can handle if we ride long, over all i can give 5 out of 5, once we ride fat-boy definitely we will purchase at any cost. When we are taking test ride you will get to know about this bike, i don't know how to express about my riding experience, harley is harley there is alternate bike especially fat boy.

  • This bike is 1000 out of 10.

    Harley davidson fat boy is my dream bike. I am really loving it's looks and appearance and the strong body adds to it's durability and strength. It's a great fortune to ride this bike. When we ride on it everyone's eyes are on us. It's also having a very powerful engine with dual exhaust, which is my favorite and which impressed me very much. If i have to rate this bike, i will always rate it 1000 out of 10.Thank you.

    Harley-davidson fatboy name is enough. All thing are excellent but after 1 hour continous drive then hold for some minute. Good for long distance ride. My maximum riding distance is ahmedabad to rajkot but felt free after drive. Thank you. In this price range it is very good.

  • Must buy harley davidson fat boy

    6 years ago


    Akash Rathod

    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

    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?’

  • New to riding bikes yet eager to own high end harley davidson

    6 years ago


    Kunal

    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.
