We all have "that one friend" that is just a miserable mf'er and ain't ever happy with anything, if they win a million dollars they bitch about havin' to pay taxes on it rather than be thrilled at the money they DO get .If you can't find a bike you like in HD's line up as many models as they have, the problem ain't with HD, it's with YOU. ,that's what I tell 'em.

Apparently you can get a little bit more power on these engine mounts, probably thats why the went for it, but most likely they will go back on thise decision, the thing about HD is that all the technology is added little by little without changing drastically the aesthetics and feeling, and by doing this is a complete 180, thats the problem. Is not that we don´t like changes, is that we don´t like unnecessary changes, specially if its just for a stupid trend. Look at the street 750, it worked out great, but the street rod? that one sucks, it looks nothing like a harley and is too hipster-ish, thats what is happening here, it feel forced. In HD there is no place for 'performance', they are quick enough and the best air cooled engines, but you don´t get a harley to ride fast and to scrap pegs, these babies are too expensive and pretty to be doing that shit, so, nobody cares about getting 10 or 20hp and "better" suspension if that means changing the entire meaning of the bike. Where did the Wide glide go? that is sad.

These new Harleys are NOT rubber mounted. They are rigid mounted to the frame because the motor itself is counter balanced and Harley got feedback that people didnt like how little vibration they were getting with the new motor, one of the reasons the power transfer is better. the monoshock and rigid mount is what giving the motorcycle a stiffer feel and greater transfer of power. that salesmen needs to learn his product.

I can't really understand all that hate for the 2018 lineup. I fell in love for the new Fat Bob on first sight. After reading the specs, it seems like it delivers all the things I was looking for in my Low Rider S (that I sold a few months ago): a torqy V-twin-powerhouse, nice ground clearance, good suspension and brakes plus a mean look.

Love the look of the new Fat Bob, looks like a tough bike not a flashy, chromed out bike with a ridiculous paint job. I personally didn't like Harley before these new bikes. I took the 2018 Fat Bob out for a test ride and loved it so much I ordered one! From a business perspective Harley made the right choice to change and attract new customers. It worked for me and it will bring new riders over which Harley needs. Nothing stays the same forever.

I was upset when i first heard the dyna was gone but after reading into it. i'm glad it is, because the old softail is gone too. Harley gave us a brand new bike from the ground up. The rear suspension actually looks worth a damn for once. Too all the people who are pissed at Harley for dropping the dyna, you are the same type of person that caused the FXR and the Vrod to be a failure. Loosing your mind every time the motor company changes anything. This is Harley investing in its future and a modern bike with modern performance is what i wanted to see. Hopefully the sportsters and touring bikes get a ground up rebuild soon

Cheers Blockhead! First review online I think. I tried the Low rider S and was unsure really, I will try the Fat Bob as well, problem with Harley in the uk is the prices, the Fat Bob 114 is nearly as much as a Ducati XDiavel here which is an astonishingly powerful and well equipped Cruiser, you would have to really, REALLY, want a HD badge on your tank to spring for one here but I could be tempted by this one.....

The reason Harley made these new line of motorcycles was to appeal to millenials like Blockhead. The aesthetics are a move to the comtemporary faction that is this new generation. The nostalgic look of vintage Harley's (watch the opening scene of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man to see what vintage Harley is) has expired and the "biker" image has changed. These bikes are a real testimony to where the motorcycle industry as an inclusive whole are going. Its not a bad thing at all but just not what old guys like me and the rest of us are used to.

Gen X here. I never liked the ride of HDs and preferred the look of other bikes. This is the first HD I lust over. I absolutely hated the vibrating rides of the older HDs and I bought other bikes. When my next bike purchase comes up, the Fat Bob is at the top of the list. Garbage is what I thought of previous HDs and to me, they're finally starting to make good bikes and not cater to the older crowd.

So I guess the ultimate question. How does it compare to the Low Rider S? I've personally test ridden a LRS and absolutely love it. Mostly because of its little bit higher seating position, decent handling and excellent brakes, the power of the 110 doesn't hurt either. If this new platform is that much better I hope that they do a Low Rider S on the new platform (though with the 5.0 gallon tank, after all the 2017 has a 4.7 gallon tank).

Now, they just need to get rid of those tractor style mufflers. My favorite is straights with slip in baffles. That's inside the pipe, not slip on mufflers.

This is a bittersweet, the fat bob was the first HD I test rode and it was love at first ride, love the fat tires, the seat, the dual headlamps, the only thing I don't like is the foot forward riding position, because of this I considered the lowrider S because it has the best ergonomics for me, but now it looks like they're not doing the dynas anymore, which is weird because they had good sales with the lowrider s.

Hey Blockhead, what did you think of the handling with that big front tire? I am seriously considering a Fat Bob as I love the styling, but wide front tires tend to make the turn in a bit numb. Obviously I don't expect sport bike razor sharpness, but I am well experienced with "Point and hope" handling lol. I am a long time classic Goldwing rider (GL1000-K0), so I tend to like a good balance of power and handling.

It’s not they’ve “gone” rigid, it’s that they’ve stayed rigid. Softails have always been counterbalanced. Touring bikes never have been until this year with that new engine. Get on a 13’ or older touring bike and it will shake your hand numb at idle. Get on a 14’-16’ with those Rushmore improvements and, in my opinion, they are smoother. Now, get on a 17’ touring bike and it’s more like my 2005 Heritage. Not completely smooth at idle but pretty close. I’ve wanted a touring bike for as long as I can remember but I’ve always hated that shaking at idle (a lot of people love it). I’ve test ridden every model of the 17’ touring line and I like all of them. Huge improvements, at least for me.

The Fat Bob 114 is the only Harley-Davidson I would buy. I've never ridden a cruiser. Is the weight carried low because it isn't light. I ride an MT-01 [google it; you didn't get them in the USA], 1670 cc V-twin in a sports bike chassis. Weight: 584 lb wet/kerb. I wonder whether the 114 has the legs on it. Greetings from a Brit.

Same here! Bought my sporty in October but now it’s April and I traded up for the Fat Bob 114!

The white Fat Bob is great looking. The bike didn't sound too HD-like however. But I'd imagine with headers and an engine upgrade higher performance kit (which will be available by 3rd party entities such as Fuel Moto) this bike will be a real screamer and joy to ride.

I think the Fat Bob looks awesome! If I were willing to shell out 10 grand more for a Harley Davidson logo, I would be all over it.

Ever hear of a hard break in? I don't know if I'd risk it on a new bike if I bought it, but I've heard from a few sources that it's legit. Plus, I'm sure these will be demo bikes until 5-10k miles or so, then they'll be sold with a pretty significant discount, because who wants to buy a demo bike? XD

That's a myth. The break-in period is for the rider not the bike.

I am looking at getting back into motorcycles after many years and I gotta say the guys who are crying over the new design are just plain crazy. I used to look at Harley as some fat geriatric dude’s god awful looking ride to the nursing home, with his tacky plastic saddlebags and bigass godawful plastic fairings looking like a wannabe, telling everyone how he scored a touchdown in high school 50 years ago, and now spends most of his time in the cath lab. Harley desperately needed something new. The brand was dying with the guys whose glory days died with the old design, 30 years ago. These new bikes spark my interest and I may see myself dropping $20,000 into a hobby I couldn’t have imagined a short while ago. Nice job HD. 👍

Man I have HD on facebook,when they unveiled all the new 2018's..people went nuts,and not in the best of ways. Everyone hates the new looks. I'm still fairly new to Harley,but I will say I was mad they have stopped the Dyna line..Guess I'll be getting a 2017 like you when the time is right!

I gotta say, that paint on the tank looks awesome. I'd rather have Harley Davidson written on my tank in a faint color than the chrome emblem they put on it.

I can get why some people are upset, they don't like drastic changes. But I'll tell you, this Fat Bob has my attention as a sport bike rider. It strikes me as a more comfortable Ducati, of course though, I'm very sure that's a negative to most Harley riders!

Finally Harley makes a bike that's a lot more durable, with less vibration and more power.

Good looking bike but $20 k? 3,6 gallons tank? Traction control? Electronic suspension?

I still love my '13 Breakout but the new one (except for the speedo setup) and the Fat Bob have got me thinking about a new one. I'd venture to say that the Fat Bob will be a winner.

You all know Harley's aren't made in America, they are only assembled here. Wire harnesses and seats from Mexico, engines, transmissions and all the chrome in China. The wheels, whether spokes or cast from Australia. We only make and paint the Fenders, Tanks and Frames here in the USA.

Hey, I actually worked assembly in York PA for 2017 Surge and got info from all the 20 year old timers and how things changed. Yes you are correct. Harley doesn't have a facility in Mexico, China or Australia because they out- source production for assembly to those countries. Like I said, frames, tank shells and fenders are made in USA, nothing else. Do you really think a large chrome plating company still exists in USA due to EPA regulations?
