I switched to a Fatboy in 22 and haven't regretted a single moment of it. It is THE Harley ride I expected when I got into riding Harleys. Power. Performance and Presence. A few customizations (new exhaust, saddleman seat, etc) and I can't imagine riding any other Harley for my main ride.
I have a 2018 FatBoy 115th and absolutely love it. Who ever designed it with the new softail frame deserves a medal 🥇 !
👍🏼
I’ve got a 22 fatboy and consider myself a novice rider.. I was worried about all the videos of people saying how hard they are to corner etc… I’ve never had any issues, beautiful bike to ride and handles very well
How's the bike when it comes to potholes?
Did you ever think you might drop the bike when you hit a pothole ?
@@scotttracy9333 don’t imagine it’s different to any other bike regarding potholes, might handle them better with the wide tyres? Not sure.
I love the fact it still looks like a traditional classic Harley with the dial on the gas tank. As always a great review 👍🏻
I'm glad to hear that the Fat Boy was maneuverable at slow speeds. I could also see that the bike looks planted on the roads which is a plus in windy conditions! I'll need to test one at the dealership. It wasn't under my radar until I saw your video.
👍🏼 most Harley dealers will take you on a demo as long as you have your endorsement. You should go ride one.
@@theinfinitryda Will do! 👍
I have tons of fun riding my Fat Boy through the twisty roads.
What year do you have?
@@theinfinitryda 2018.
I love that billiard gray! It looks military. This just might be the bike I've been waiting for.
Nice.
Love this guy's reviews!
Appreciate it.
I love the simplicity of the Billiard gray, but i probably go for the Sharkskin blue. Also i like the chrome.
That’s the one color I’m not a fan of
I think the sharkskin blue is awesome@@theinfinitryda
Great review as always
Thanks
i own a 2012 fatboy, i drool over the 2013 breakout. to me the new body style fatboy is a tank breakout. short fenders, over sized headlight, and 240 rear tire.
I have 2012, 103cc. I love it and get compliments whenever I get it out. People tell me they wish they haven’t gotten rid of theirs.
My fav HD, pity no reviews discuss service intervals and their associated costs on HD's or any other make.
Thanks for doing the video. Well done 👍
👍🏼 thanks
I appreciate your honesty and enthusiasm. While the Fat Boy is a good Boulevard Cruiser, I definitely prefer the ride and handling of the Heritage Softail more.
Each to his own.
I hope it is next in line for an upgrades like a Breakout !
I like your channel 💐be happy as you do always
I have questions what do advice me
Fat boy or break out I love break out because it’s fast 117 but can I travel with it as they do with fat boy
great content! I would also really like if you do the sound test, where you would put a microphone in front of an exhaust)))
Will do in the next video. I’ll try to in Sunday’s video
I ride a 2012 fat boy in tequila sunrise orange love it rode 700 miles in one stretch last summer at 64 years old
mine is the same color, it gets lots of attention, and compliments. 28,000 on mine, i've had it 4 years, and put 10,000 miles on it.
Mine isa 2012 in Denim Black. I upgraded the exhaust to V&H 2 in 1 Pro Pipe. I still don't want to let it go. I test drove the 2024 today and was disappointed. I felt like I was riding a Honda. The new bike has more take off and torque on the low end but I was disappointed. The new design is missing that mean look and sound that made the bike a Fatboy.
This grey Fatboy look more fancy..I liked it ..This Fatboy is on my list to buy it soon...
Nice
Bike is great for long distance just like any bike have to get custom seats and make it comfortable for you I own a Fatboy
Look amazing
👍🏼
I own a Fatboy with solid wheels. The notion that a cross wind will push you across the road is erroneous. Those slots in the new FatBoy does absolutely nothing. Consider the fact that the wheels are turning hundreds or thousands of revolutions, depending on the speed. Air or wind will NOT pass through those slots. Matt Laidlaw asked this specific question to HD engineers in a video a few years ago. The engineers agreed, this was definitely a misconception.
I had a bike with solid wheels and switched to slotted and it was a night and day difference
@@theinfinitryda That's BS and scientifically impossible. I've had my 2004 FLSTFI with solid wheels, since it was new. I've ridden in cross winds multiple times and I've owned bikes with spoke wheels. There is NO difference. Perhaps you're a novice rider or a very large person that's pushed by the wind.
Wrong
@@user-kk6jw2cf4y Not wrong but l'd like to read what you have to say Mr. Blake.
Just as I thought Andrew. You're probably a youtube "troll" that doesn't own a motorcycle.
I like the chrome hate the color. The front tire size isn't bad , I think the rear is too big. 200 is the biggest I personally would go. The wheels look good. As does the headlight . Just my thoughts. Good vid
You and I are on the same wave length!
We're on the same wave length!
Nice bike ❤
👍🏼
I've ridden bikes with spoke wheels at speeds where they blocked wind like a solid rim and a strong gust would nearly push the tires out from under you. Slots won't help much at speed.
From my experience it does
@@theinfinitryda The weight of a bike does more than anything to minimize the effect of wind gusts pushing the tires sideways.
I've ridden bikes having everything from old-fashioned spiked rims to a five point "star" mag to solid rims in all types of weather and at speeds ranging from creeping to 180+ mph.
At high speed every rim behaves like a solid rim when hit by wind gusts.
The lighter the combined weight of bike and rider, the more effect wind has on instability. Of course, the closer a rider's weight comes to the weight of the bike, the less stable bike becomes as the center of gravity moves upward.
The Fatboy is a good bike and solid performer, but at my height of 6ft the handlebars are too low. I would buy a bike with mini apes like the Heritage or the Road King.
I move a lot of bikes for a living and when i jump on this. The handling/ stock pull back bars and big wheel/ geometry 📐 just feels wacko/ heavy. I think this bike would benefit greatly with apes and slimmer rear tire
I can see that. I might just be used to it. Lol
My Deluxe is my no1 bike but if I was going to get a nice cruising bike I’d get a fat boy. I like the brush look more
Great looking bike. I could not own one. To dear.
One HD shop i visited said that the swing arm can easily be altered for thinner tyres. I wish you could get the Fat Boy with a thinner back tyres. I hate that fat thing.
Single rotor on the front, how does this thing stop?
I had the same thought but I've ridden this bike and the brakes stop the bike very well
I like the FAT BOY alot 😊 the gray is not nice but it suits that bike !!!
👍🏼
💯💯🎯
👍🏼
so for 2024, you can have a bike painted the same color as an Amazon delivery van, or pay extra. got it
lol. My Amazon vans are Blue.
You should drill big holes into the side of your helmet so you can scratch yours ears when they itch or upgrade to a football helmet!
lol. No way
I own a 23 Fatboy, can’t really see any differences other than the shark skin blue color
Yeah. The only change was colors.
It's okay but more of a fan of the sharkskin blue
I've ridden a HD Fatboy for over a decade. I test drove a stock 2024 version and was disappointed. The bike feels cheap and the elements that made it a muscle bike are gone. It has more torgue in the low gears but it sounded like a sewing machine. I thought I was riding a Honda. I wished they would go back to the old design.
My dream bike. I am a high schooler 🙅🏽♂️
You can make it happen. Strive for what you want and it will become reality
Not a fan of that grey, and I think it’s ridiculous that they are charging people extra now for black. I have the 21 fat boy and love it.
Nice. My favorite color was the blacked out anniversary
Phải chi fatboy sẽ được đổi mới như Breakout ! Phuộc trước dạng thể thao và 2 thắng trước.chắc sẽ hầm hố lắm.
Not sure what was said.
No, not to my 95 Fat Boy, but maybe I am just to principled. Thx for the vid tho, allowing me to see the de-evolution.
Glad I could help. Lol. The older ones did maneuver better and you have a classic. I’d definitely keep yours.
@@theinfinitryda Oh she ain't no long haul roll, only short or local, at least with me in the seat. Old school EVO and carbonation makes it easy to keep out of the shop, that and just straight up better looks. Yeah I will pass away before she ever does...roll easy brother.
So if you commenters could choose a new fat boy or a new Triumph Rocket which way would you go? I’ve been shopping about two weeks and I want both of them hahaha of course I can’t do that! One bike will stretch my pocketbook. But pricing both is very similar where I live. Triumph is much more negotiable in price than my Harley dealers. Finance for 23 Rocket? 3.9% for 60 months…Best rate for Fat Boy 7.0% for 72 months both based on my 815 score. Finally mpg Rocket roughly 35. Fat Boy roughly 46. Many many other differences..the Triumph has all the bells and whistles for instrumentation but Harley is pretty stripped. Finally, this time I mean it, there’s something about owning your first Harley. Iconic, America proud all that stuff even with their issues. So what’s the choice folks? Help me buy my next bike! Send Money hahaha
Triumphs are nice. I like them, not really the rocket but a lot of the other ones
Save up a bit longer & get both !, I did & loved them both for different reasons, you won't regret it 😉 good luck !!!!!
@@robfereday4753 wow that’s impressive 👍. Unfortunately I 67 so getting both would bury me in debt and probably have my wife kicking me out LOL
@@HeCoversMe I'm turning 64 in May, you have probably worked hard all your life like me, you deserve it 👏 so do it & enjoy coz you can't take your money with you 😉
@@robfereday4753 you got that right brother 👍
What is so terrible about putting dual discs up front? Oh, yeah, it may actually stop 800 lbs.
Lol
Lovely bike, here in UK all new petrol bikes banned from 2030
Oh wow
Seriously? You blokes need to push back on your bloody government tyranny!
Ha Ha mine is a immaculate 2002 twin cam .As I am 82 I can't see me still on mine in 2030.Its like new and only done 12000 since 02.
Phil Dunphy from ‘Modern Family’ has beaten you the the ‘Head Scratcher’ TM , too late 😂
😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏽
It cracks me up. The rotational mass of a solid wheel “centrifugal force” is 10x stronger than any effect that wind force could have on it. The wheels if anything make it more stable. This is why basic education is still important… so people stop believing idiotic nonsense
I believe nothing but my actual experiences. So you can keep your centrifugal force nonsense. I’m sure I’ve ridden a lot more bikes than you my friend.
The bars look too low for me, I prefer just a little more up and back. NOT APES!
👍🏼
Yrs after the total redesign, this completely different Fatboy is still compared to the actual Iconic model Arnold rode , don’t vote well for it. For one thing, gone is the old school timeless styling. It reminds me more ironically of the VRod that got killed off one model yr before this total redesign appeared. In my opinion carrying over the Fatboy name was a huge marketing mistake. Like the VRod, the Fatboy should have been retired as well because it’s completely different, yea it’s got solid wheels but it ends there. HD should have given this bike its own identity so it would not have to compete with a legend and stand on its own merits. That’s just my opinion and I think others will agree. Yrs ago when I saw my first Fatboy I was thunderstruck. This bike? Nope.
Ok. I can see where you’re coming from
Yep agree
My 02 twin cam gets recognised everywhere as a Fat Boy ,because it still resembles the original Evo Fat Boy.
It’ll not be pushed sideways it’s Fat !
Allah hu akbar❤❤❤❤❤❤
The only Harley I would even consider owning. I have rode 3 Harleys home for friends that bought them not knowing anything about riding. They thought they wanted a Harley etc. but in every case years later they sell them. 100 plus ft pounds of torque only helps them leave a stop light, by the other side of the intersection I am the only bike and wondering why they had to sit there and rev bomb. It's actually embarrassing when I don't even rev and embarrass them by the other side of the intersection. I'm tired of listening to a guy revving for attention. I just sit there, wait for the light to change and lay the embarrassment out. C'mon dude, Get a bike that can move. Remember that a Harley is the bike that can turn gas into noise without the side affect of horsepower.....I will embarrass you everyday. With or without your girl on the back.
And here you are trolling a Harley video 🤣
Get a life
That's strange ,I always left my buddy ( on his Jap bike ) standing at traff lights on my old evo wide glide.
Seriously? People still buy into the notion of getting pushed around by the wind with solid wheels. What a joke. Logically, think about the surface area on the wheels compared to the entire bike and yourself. Also, even a spoked wheel is spinning at such a high rpm that it is basically a solid surface in motion.. give me a break yall can be that stupid.
BTW, I own a 2018 FatBoy and have ridden thousands of miles and experienced very high cross winds. Shocker!! I was not blown off the road. On ANY bike, you will feel a crosswind, regardless of your wheels. I would even say that the FatBoy is more stable in wind due to the lower center of gravity compared to lighter sports bikes I have owned.
Well from personal experience I noticed a difference and I’m sure I e ridden more bikes than you. But I can see what you’re saying
🤣🤣you can even go in a circle?!!
I did
Just lean
After all that said I can hardly understand what you are saying. You are all muffled.
Sorry about that. Everyone else seems to hear me. I mean I’m riding with a mic in my helmet
dont like the color
A lot of people don’t.
I thought cruise control was standard from 2023??
It’s not on all models
It's a Suzuki
Who fkn cares, we can all find something to complain about 🤮🫡
☝🏼let’s Enjoy the ride called life 🌻 with gratitude for the adventure 🤙🏼
Enjoy the ride
