  • In this video we review the 2019 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob with the 114 M8 engine.
    What does it ride like? How does it sound? Is it any good? How does it handle? All your questions answered!
    We look at everything, from the wheels, the engine to the suspension and styling.
    This bike is also fitted with Vance & Hines Big Shots staggered, which are astonishingly good, rather tempted to put them on my Heritage Classic!
    Let us know what you think of the Fat Bob! Have you ridden one? Have you got one? What would you do to yours?

      You said leave a comment good or bad well I have a comment it's good and bad I love this bike but I can't afford it and my credits not good enough pray for me because I think this bike is the best-looking thing I've seen in a long time and I've never owned a motorcycle in my life and I'm 37 now mom died three years ago and I bought 5.6 acres and now I'm sleeping in the car working 75 hours a week and I spent all my money on more important things but I'd really like to have this bike so pray for me that I can find a way to get it thanks Noah

    Excellent review. One of best on YT! I have tried a few HD's bikes with M8 engines including FXDR 114, Fat Bob 114 and Fat Bob 107 and I've pulled the trigger..... Just over a year a go I have become very proud owner of Fat Bob 107...and I love it. I picked the 107 as to me is more snappier, more aggressive than 114...and a few grand left in the pocket for upgrades... Ride safe. H&R

    • @MrDarcy-OlMan
      @MrDarcy-OlMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes good choice. We think you're right that the 107 is snappier. It's less laid back than the 114. Thanks for the compliment!

    What an easy to watch review, thanks guys.
    This bike has a uniquely attractive look to it. I am leaning towards Ducati XDiavel S too, but this looks more solid and beautifully aggressive. I also read that it takes holes in the streets better and more reliable.
    I’ve subscribed and will watch your videos to learn more about bikes and go and test some myself before I make the big decision one day!

    First Harley that’s ever appealed to me, so managed to get a test ride along with the Fatboy. Blimey what a great bike the Fatbob is.. Felt like a big Aprillia Tuono! Fast forward a year later , after looking at everything including the new Rocket 3 and a completely different Norton Commando 961, I’m now looking for a pre-owned one👍🏼

    Great review as always! I have a 20' Fat Bob and it's a wonderful bike. I had a 99' Dyna super glide sport, 06 Softail Night Train and a 07 FLHTCU. This new Softail chassis and M8 motor put the old bikes to shame! Your right about the stock exhaust. I got rid of that before I picked the bike up! I'm a runt next to you 5'8" 150 and it fits me fine as well. It handles great and is comfortable for even longer rides. The adjustable suspension is a really nice feature as well. Can't keep up with my 17' CBR 1000RR though. LOL

    Riding around the British countryside after it's been raining, dodging the mud and the pot-holes. Now there's something I've not had to endure now for many years. Back in the day we didn't have ABS either, just a mixture of common sense, a little skill and loads of luck.

    The difference in looks between the stock pipes and the Vance and Hines is drastic, however, the difference in SOUND is like a freight train compared to a sewing machine!!! The stock pipes on this bike are absurd and yet even at that I wouldn’t hesitate for a millisecond to get my hands on the Fat Bob! Love this bike!

    There is no nicer Harley Davidson for riding.I've owned more than 20 motorcycles of many makes and models. Harley Davidson is by far what I want to be on and the Fat Bob is the most fun out of all of them. Be advised : You'll probably want to change out a couple of personal comfort things so expect to spend another couple thousand on parts and accessories but once you do that you will love this bike. Lots of power, more torque than you'll ever need and a really fun ride !

    God it's a tough one boys. I am from the UK originally but moved to LA and I am buying my first Harley soon from the Glendale dealership. I started off with the fat boy, moved to the fat bob, then the low rider S, but now I am thinking the Street Bob would be a better bet for a first Harley. All of them look so nice but I'll be test riding them when I complete my m1 here in a week. Enjoying the videos, I would NOT want to ride in that UK winter, I do not miss the mud, rain, wind and cold haha.

    I Like the solid, planted looks of this bike. Long shot Vance and Hines pipes have a superb deep resonating rumble to them. Matt paint gives the bike a rugged,no-nonsense appearance. aesthetically not as pleasing to the eye but the Fat Bob looks as though it would handle poorer road surfgaces,gravel dirt roads better. Id get rid of those flat bars, add some Lucky Dave style bars around shoulder height. Being 5’8” Id install mids. Headlight is fine. Nice review setup,different young & old style.

I know that this video has been up in the air for a while, but recently I ordered a 114 2021 fat Bob and I was wondering if you could help me on something. Can you please give-me some feedback on the 2021 model regarding changes to that one? If there are any.

    firstly great video, hope you succeed with your target, TThe Fat Bob I rode first before I bought my Heritage, the machine is a better riders bike than the heritage, but it was'nt practical for me. as in the exhaust was oddly placed for fitting bags or you could fit V&H, exhaust, … The biggest problem was a rev counter instead of a speedometer, in a World full of speed cameras a quick look a speedo may save you from a petty unnecessary fine. but also adding a new backseat, Docking kit for bags, sissybars ,a screen, V&H Pipes, mapping the motor. Oh if possible a larger capacity fuel tank for better range, doing a little bit every few months would you be near the cost of a Heritage 114 classic,.. I really liked the Fatbob114.

    Back when I was looking for a HD, the Low Rider S, Breakout, Fat Boy, and Fat Bob were on my top list. After seeing the Fat Bob in person, it easily became my favourite bike of them all, followed by the Breakout and Low Rider S. Visually, it looks awesome. There is not a whole lot that needs to be modified on it in my opinion. I think there was a deadwood green coloured one in Sycamore in September, but it was already sold. I would have gone for that one as well. Lucky buyer.
    I loved the drag bar position on the Fat Bob. Nice and wide which gives you that wide seated, aggressive look, and just the right reach for a 5’7 height guy like me. I’m thinking of adding the same riser on my Iron in the future to get the same feel out of the drag bars.

    So far as I was aware, that was the major difference……… the Fat Bob you tested, to me, is more Fat Boy…. ??
    Anyhow, mine has a single tractor sized saddle, short back end, twin LED day makers and a Supertrapp tuned 2 into 1…… the bike was breathed on by Powerglides in Kent and goes like a stabbed rat…….
