I started out on an FZ07. A year later I was considering adding a cruiser. I test drove a ton of harleys at the dealership and finally got on this bike. I fell in love. I wound up upgrading to an MT09. Well, I went back yesterday and test rode it again. I’m trading in my MT09 to get this bike. It’s a Lexus on two wheels and it’s perfect in my eyes.
no new bike is a good bike for beginners get something you can thrash and drop a few times, moving on to something nice* once you learn the grind.....than again a 500$ bike can kill you as fast as a 15k bike so live that shit up 😂
From a European prospective you can't speak of corners with that large sweet long bends, so I don't think it is so capable in corners with that bif tire at front, I mean real corners, but it's a wonderful motorcycle. I like a lot.
I'm a first time owner at 49 (insert stereotype lol) I just bought this bike yesterday on Saint Patrick's day it's getting painted custom with a matching helmet course I'll take the riding course from Harley..... The Bike be ready next week, I do have some experience riding motorcycles just never own one and thank you for your review it was very helpful for a first time owner🤙🏼
Cruiser comfort with Sport bike performance? Perfectly balanced as all things should be. But in my opinion the Low Rider S is slightly better than the Fat Bob. But from s styling aspect I’d choose the Fat Bob
It is really not that hard to master a sport bike as long as its sub 500. I started on a Ninja 400 and by month 5 I was going to track days. I now own a CBR600RR and love going fast on the twisties and track days. Not everyday I wanna go fast hence why I want to add a cruiser to the lineup. Sometimes its just better to chill.
My favorite bike on the market, there’s no comparison. This and the low rider s are my favorite bikes. I have a 2020 Kawasaki z900 and I love the bike but it’s not a do it all bike. Even though you sit upright the wind on the highway is not fun. Longer rides aren’t much fun either. Learned this the hard way. Will have to pay it off now to trade it in for either a fat Bob or a low rider s. Will be test riding both but my heart really wants that fat Bob off looks alone. Here’s Another thing for people that look at the price, rather than to have to be fiddling around with bikes because of price points, if there’s something that’s priced higher and will make you much happier id say go for that cause it’ll pay itself off in the long run. You won’t have to lose money like me reselling to then go buy another bike and paying more taxes and fees. Harleys hold their value, lots of customization options, and just beautiful classic bikes
The Infinit Ryda, thanks for describing things for new riders, your detail is very good. I am 60 years old and careful and mature. I just passed my msf course, but I am 6'4", 230 pounds with a 35 inch inseam. Would the fat bob be okay for practicing slowly around suburbs with few cars until I get used to developing better skills?
Ever since my MSF class at harley... The fat Bob is a bad first beginner bike. Watched a newbie who bought a new fatbob, then went to class with me, failed within 2 hours, and then wrecked his fatbob in the damn parking lot after failing his class. He couldn't even handle the street 500. And he was a retired marine, big tough guy, definitely DIDN'T see that coming. He was saying that he could ride no problem!
TylerDD I didn’t say it’s a good option for someone who can’t ride. No bike would be good for that individual. They shouldn’t be on a bike. A new rider is a rider not a non rider.
@@theinfinitryda right lol he fooled us all, we all thought for sure he knows what he's doing, who else would buy a brand new fatbob unless they were confident in riding, but he dropped the street 500 3 times in the first hour of class. I do wonder if he still has the bike or went back to take the class again
I am Riding Motorcycles my whole Life, i own this bike and i love it for sure, but better dont praise the dynamics of that bike, it is nothing against any of my other bikes.My Opinion ist that Harley build the best Bikes for Car Drivers. When i go real Biking, i did not take the Harley....
I would love to get my hands on that bike. However I think I will first get through the class then once I pass the class hopefully then I might try the 500 or 650cc naked bikes first just use to the bike then once I'm more confident then I'm might consider a Fat Bob.
I'd have thought that the feet-forward position was worse for your back. I find that my slightly tilting forward/feet behind me position on my MT-01 - 1670 cc cruiser engine/sports chassis - google it - is very comfortable. But I would like one of these. First-class review, bro.
@@theinfinitryda I'm just over 6' but my legs are only 32'', so I don't mind the rather bent knee stance of the original MT. But I would love a Fat Bob, the best-looking Harley ever, in my opinion. I have subscribed.
I'm about 5'10" 175lbs. Been on two wheels my whole life, no motors though. Mountain biking, Downhill biking. Got my first motorcycle last summer, an Iron 883. It has actually herniated a disc in my back, the rear suspension is so rough. I want to move up to something cool and softer in the rear end. I'm fairly confident on my Iron, do you think I can handle the Fat Bob 114?
I’m not a new rider, but I have limited experience on feet forward cruisers. Rode a 2013 Suzuki Boulevard M90 for a year in the city. Looking to get a cruiser again after 5 years and I’m torn between the 2019 Sport Glide and the 2018 Fat Bob 114. Both has their own appeal. Which one would you recommend?
The forwards on these aren’t really that foreword. I have stretched out on some other bikes with forwards and scared the shut out of myself, but these are just perfect.
the 400cc sport bikes are so much better for beginners. they don't make a lot of power and the throttle is tame for beginners. they are also designed to be more comfortable than 600cc+ sport bikes. they're also a quarter of the cost of the fat bob and offer the same if not more tech features.
@InfinitRyda2o they most certainly do. You can buy them at $5500 and sell for almost that a year down the road if desired. As long as they aren't damaged, they hold their value extremely well
The Rebel 1100 preforms better than this for half the price (and damn near half the weight) plus it's got actual technology integrated into it. This thing beats it on styling though, definitely looks cool but the preformance just isn't there for 20k out the door.
For new riders getting a heavy 20k$ bike ain’t it. Since you brought up r3 or ninja 400/300 they are actually pretty upright seating at at what 300lbs wet it’s a light weight bike to learn on at 1/3 the price Sport bikes have better brakes, rider modes, traction control pending model actually cornering ability For anyone reading Pay2-7k Get 300/400 Get street triple Triumph Fzo7 Yamaha 790/890 superduke Learn to ride Rider aids are your friend I have fat bob right now Bikes I have owned R1s two Zx10r S1000rr Panigale Street bob Ducati 1098 (2) Ducati 899 Ducati monster Rsv4 Many more Now Harley fat bob love it but don’t start on. 20k plus bike Go to a safety course as well
@@theinfinitryda you don't bro you give Dangerous advice.. I ride i understand bikes. You tell a beginner that a Harley like a 114 fatbob is for beginners.. And a 300 cc ninja is not? A 300 pound.

Good decision.
I currently have an mt-09 and I’m considering getting the fat bob. Is it worth it?
The cost is the killer for new riders. The R3 is more affordable for a new rider. But I agree master the throttle and practice your skills.
If cost is the issue they should look at the street 500 or any other bike besides a sport bike.

@@Justh4tguy traded my z900 in, which they paid off and financed a 2021 fat bob last year. Check it out on my channel
The perfect bike!! I'm definitely going for one of these! Nice video man, love them all!!
Thanks
Great video ...... Does anyone know how many mile's it does before the fuel light come's on from full .... cheer's
Bought a 2020 in Performance Orange 🍊 can't wait man, such a rad bike.

Yes it will be fine as long as you’re not giving it too much throttle. How is your throttle control?
I am 1.95 cm and really fall in love with this Beast...really a beuty.
Am i too big for this bike ?

@@ErikR1979 where you getting it from
I'm going to get a 2021 from my local dealer. Trade in my 883.
I might've missed it, but would you recommend this for 2 up riding or would I be better off with a touring frame? I'm 6'1" 225
rednkitaln I can do 2 up riding but it’s not as comfortable as a touring bike.
Americans are so tall you guys completely forget the height aspect in their videos when talk ergonomics, aftermarket bars and controls placement...

Depends on the rider
nice vedio pls make video on bmw r nine t vs fat bob

Excellent vid, bro what gloves you ridin with here they're drippy af
I think the Z1R gloves
@@theinfinitryda appreciate it man

What gloves and helmet do you use?
I have multiple gloves and I have two bell helmets and a Ruroc. I mainly use the bell eliminator though.
Damn if only it was 10k and under I would get it, so sad
Subbed man. Great information
Thanks
I love this bike
24k beginner bike, right
brian Tremblay it’s not $24k lol. But it is a bike you can keep for your entire riding career.
@@theinfinitryda oops, sorry. Canadian its 24k. Should have specified. Still a sweet ride and wish I had one
It’s not 24k it’s 20k 😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️ still pricey
Quad lock for my phone and use a speedometer app as the standard clock display is a little bit low.

Thank you for sharing
Of course
Good content!!!!!
Can’t wait for the new custom 1250 to come out. It looks like a baby Fat Bob. I might actually be able to afford it?
Yeah it does. Not sure how they going to price it. Hope it’s around $12k
Stopped listening after he said an R3 is more dangerous to a new rider than a 700lb bike with almost 120ftlbs of torque...
Should of kept watching
700lbs for a new rider is alot....get a iron 883 or a metric cruiser for a tall rider. Maybe an Indian scout..
The Rebel 1100 preforms better than this for half the price (and damn near half the weight) plus it's got actual technology integrated into it. This thing beats it on styling though, definitely looks cool but the preformance just isn't there for 20k out the door.

Not for a new rider. To heavy even though it balances very well. And to much torque.
Clickbait. Wanted to see the white one with fairing, looks like it was custom then the video is on a standard one . Lame
