Owned a 2010 Fatboy Lo, great bike. The 2019 looks great with the exception of the solid billet wheels, but starting to warm up to them. Fatboy's have always been a chore in corners, still fun to ride. Price is too high for a cruiser, 16-18000$ I think is fair. 20000$+ and I'll wait to buy used.

[@ralphdodson9865]

Bad ass! I love these rides. I am almost looking foward to the day that my shadow wears out so I can get one of these sweet Merica machines.Love the content

[@foundryx6697]

This is the one I was waiting for. I have loved this bike ever since I saw Terminator back in the day and that movie inspired me to get into Motorcycle riding.

[@ThanhLai5]

Hope that you will get one soon (I you haven't).

[@AdamTheCaptain]

Me too haha. I used to watch it pretty much everyday, sometimes twice a day from age 3 -7 lol. I wore the VHS tape out haha. Still in my top 5 favorite movies and the FatBoy is my favourite bike. I just test rode this 2019 114 Fatboy today actually. Loved it

[@liamstandish878]

Its not even the same bike.. i got a 98 fatty and i would never trade it for a new one.. cheeper to put a new 124evo from s&s and a baker 6speed

[@steveimperial7760]

Can u believe like a little child i want 2b like the turnmeator daddy.Thats the reason why he wants to ride a motorcycle.Thank God for beginners accidents haha get it?

[@johnnystieferman6527]

i have a 2000 fatty. With a reliable. 88. Engine not sure i,d ever sell her , changed the primary oil today adjusted the clutch,my 88 has had some performance added so it,s not stock..might try to ride one of these one day heard a lot of bad things about the new engines ,not sold on em yet would like a 6 speed trans tho....time will tell...

[@81722Les]

Love this bike, my first Harley, got the 2019, pulls like a train. Totally love it and boy, runs easy. Did 1300km one way to Capetown the other day

[@hollywood3881]

Great review as always Blockhead, love how you are doing the specs at the beginning of the video, can’t wait for the next one!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thank you!

[@beatstreet33]

That sky is gorgeous. Makes me want to plan a trip to Daytona.

[@sandhu3563]

Thanks bro, was waiting for this video... 👍

[@BadDirtRider]

I love the new midnight blue the most for 2019

[@adamrodgers1326]

awesome video love all the stuff you do. keep on going

[@FredyLagos]

Dude, I love it when you go to Mexico for test rides!

[@HeinrichBeck]

That motor sounds gorgeous....

[@604cuinkillah]

Just ordered my '22 114 Fatboy! Can't WAIT, just in time for Labor day

[@Clem8]

Awesome bike, along with great video, keep up the good work

[@redden.jeremy]

Do a test ride on a yamaha raider. Love your test ride videos first impressions keep them coming. Best motovlogger in history. BLOCKHEAD FOR PRESIDENT! Hahaha

[@DCyclemoto]

I call them “floor boards”. Nice review, Block!

[@TheMarkMillerGroup]

Great video and the FatBoy 114 is a great bike. I felt the same way about the turning initially, but after 250 miles, I don’t even notice it. My buddies on street glides cannot keep up with me through the twisties and it’s rare that the footboards scrape. The stock seat is JUNK and there are very few aftermarket seats due to the new softail frame.

[@ronmarvicsin7709]

Love the bike. Perhaps one day!!

[@Xr8Crue]

Awesome video cant wait for the FXDR tests to comence, any ideas when we are going to see one?

[@TheNostorian]

Loving the specs.

[@ratlips4363]

I still ride my 97 FatBoy (one word..just saying). I love it. Its lowered, doubled the hp, and other than that, it is stock "looking"....LOL I always love the comments about how it sounds...bad ass! Oh yeah, and I paid $14K out the door! Barger Harley in Southern California! Dayuum...you don't stop at Stop Signs! Nice touch for a KZbin video!

[@davvidcrouch]

Love it. Really like the fatboy. Riding 2015 fatbob now. Gotta get one of the fatbobs:)

[@colin9253]

Best looking bike this year,price is to high though.Harley would sell alot more bikes if they priced them right.

[@Steve-ec6ed]

I think $15k is the # for this bike.

[@some5.3]

@@Steve-ec6edthats sportster prices 🤣🤣

[@alexnaseramini5436]

Yes I’m sure Harley needs your advice on how to better sell bikes 😂

[@craigmnz117]

Cool colour

[@bundymc502]

It is nice but the best one is still the T2 Judgement day 91 model EVO :)

[@draganm7823]

I've ridden most other models, this summer will be the M8 FatBoy, looking forward to it.

[@johncorcacas9935]

Bought one in September, it's amazing!

[@donp9982]

Footboard

[@adriamillasluque]

The shake of a Harley and its sound and looks is the reason I want a Harley, so I hope they never take that out of their bikes.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

This is my dream bike except, I want the 107 version to do a stage 2 build with the power cam. Stage 2 characteristics, and 107 is a lucky number for me. Also Harley Davidson specifically calls them Floorboards in the catalog and in technical specs. So I'm going with that. They're floorboards.

[@markmasson123]

My dealer wants 16 hours of labor to do a stage 2. That's about the same amount of time for a stage 3. I've seen lower labor estimates on forums but I can't find a dealer who will do it for less and I've been to three in my area. I can't speak to the "lucky number" thing but you are going to end up spending more money to build up a 107 then just buying a stock 114 and you'll be left with a bike that has similar performance to a stock 114. You'll also now have adjustable pushrods with a 107 Stage 2 which many techs I've spoke to are down on. I do agree with you on the power cam over a torque cam. The Milwaukee 8's are known for their torque in the lower RPM range so adding power to the upper range with the cam you are looking at is the way to go IMHO. Lastly, the 114 comes with a Stage 1 air cleaner so that saves you another additional expense. BTW, I have an '18 Breakout with a 114 and LOVE the motor...and the rest of the bike.

[@RossMalagarie]

Just get the 114ci 2019 version probably cheaper

[@Aprojeep]

A Stage 2 horsepower cam cost me just a tad over $2400 on my 114 Fatboy. But that includes the Auto and Street tuners. Reference the HD Screamin Eagle catalog for power charts. I went with the cam because it made slightly better power than a Stage 3 kit and $2000 in savings.

[@RossMalagarie]

Aprojeep not arguing just doing the math. So if they wanted a Fatboy then it would be cheaper to get a new or used one with a 107ci motor and do a $2400 lets call it $3K tax, title, and license, (total after all fees) so any Fatboy under $14K with a 107ci would be cheaper since a new Fatboy stickers at around $18.5K so after T, T, and L it should be around $20K. As long as the total of bike and $3K for 2 stage is less than $20K then it would be cheaper that way yes

[@80sOutrunFan]

Impressive machine.

[@megoblue3037]

This is my first motorcycle I purchased, alot of power! I'm really starting to enjoy my bike I came from a 250 scooter to this yeah I kno I'm crazy but it drives smooth!

[@81722Les]

are you still enjoying it?

[@streetglidespecial6316]

I bought that same bike. Took the rear tire pressure down to 37 and set the rebound dial to 2 and the ride is manageable. I’m 6’ 2” at 260#. It did change the cornering a little, but a softer ride is more important to me. HD wants 36 PSI Front and 40 PSI Rear and it rides like a hard tail😔

[@ABikerDude]

Awesome Bike and great video!

[@billbright1755]

Those staggered gun look pretty cool. I like a trimmer triple-clamp area with smaller round headlight pod. I prefer spokes. Overall not bad.

[@flashgordon6238]

Love the "Made in Mexico" sticker under the oil tank at 2:12.

[@Stevel_]

Super premium! Lol. Could be worse.... could be China like many other parts on the bike.

[@flashgordon6238]

Love that color

I brought a brand new Fatboy in 2017 for $17,000. Great motorcycle.

[@donaldbishop7222]

Wow ...did they do AWAY ....with heel ..toe SHIFTER ,,,my 2001 fat bay has it ,,,love it too !!!

[@Kash6161]

Foot boards ! If ya got “foot pegs” with pegs Then “Foot boards” with boards You don’t call “pegs” Floor pegs As don’t call “Boards” floor boards 😁 Love the 114” as a base to build up. Keep up the Brilliant work

[@caseyvidrine2506]

There very nice and fun to ride also easy handle now i did see one at the mall but it was only for show no one can ride it cause the bar was blocked

[@waynegto1484]

I have the 2018 M8 Fatboy and found I have got used to having to steer and lean the bike into the corners its just a matter of getting used to it, I actually find it handles okay....it's no sportsbike but I don't think its designed for that style of riding. Hey its comfortable and that's important to me these days.

[@baham9217]

Still my dream bike! Love the "root beer" color, too ✌️

[@bradwilliams4921]

Nice bike. Technology has vastly improved but the price has remained relatively stable since 2002 when I bought mine.

[@GuitarznGirlz]

They need to make a blacked out model of this bike. Black chrome and a flat white or flat orange finish.

[@steveimperial7760]

They have to sell some of these first,young people don't have any money.

[@slyguyaction]

And now the 30th Anniversary all blacked out FatBoy just comes out. 😎

[@dave434]

I have a 2009 Fat Boy, Love the thing!

[@franklinbalbuena7813]

Ever since I learned how to ride a bike . I be been wanting to have a harley .

[@metalb0087]

Both my hd and victory came with dunlops, they would all get set into the ruts and road stripes till I replaced the dunlops with metzler 888s

[@GIGABACHI]

I want dual brakes and mid controls. I'm not a cruiser rider but this looks attractive. If the Fat Bob had mids I would probably go with it.

[@johnriise9506]

You don't lean into a turn . You push - pull this will save your life (i'm s former MSF instructor) I have a 2014 Heritage Softail FLSTC, I love it, I'm 76 years old and still riding. We live 50 miles south of Lake Tahoe.

[@jeevsism]

waiting for an fxdr review from you, wanna see how it measures to your low rider s bro :)

[@mattbroussard7409]

Been hearing them called floorboards fir the past 20 years my Drifter has them and so does my Ultra Classic. I call them floorboards.

[@noeldawson9211]

I rode it and loved it, the turn in issue became a non event the more I rode it

[@justinjoos6606]

Love the video 👍🏼what are the chances of more fat boy content in the future?

[@dwightraine9686]

Ride Harley CVO‘s but I’ve always felt the fat boy was the best looking bike that Harley makes.

[@andreynadyssev8684]

what an amazing bike =)

[@campanileLabs]

Thx BH.

[@damianarchibald7792]

I'm new to Harley's and currently own an 08 Dyna Super glide custom. I always worried when I was shifting because the thunk I hear makes me think I'm breaking something. But it is good to have both tactile and audio indication that I shifted gears. My main complaint is the mid controls and how hard it is to shift gears with my riding boots. Have to use the edge of my foot to upshift. Looking for forward controls to fix the problem.

[@renehansen8971]

my future bike...love the fatboys

[@rsbharley4766]

Great video Blockhead. How do you think it would go up against a fat boy S for power ? Cheers

[@Aprojeep]

I have a 2018 Fatboy. You have to push harder in the corner and it will do it. Don't expect it to handle like a sport bike. That's not its purpose. Touring bikes with M8 have 75 percent vibration knocked down with a single counter balancer and Softails have dual counter balancers with roughly 100 percent of primary vibrations gone.

[@curtis1951]

Fatboys used to handle good until Harley put oversized tires on it.

[@BrawndoQC]

I've a 114 Breakout, so I hear you. I love this new Fatboy but didn't test it yet. Was a hard decision between both. I've no problems enjoying my Breakout if I wanted to do Canyons I would own a Japanese bike.

[@lightice1387]

Curtis Sherwood : the Looks of the Japanese bikes do not stand to compare to that of a Harley. Harley looks are much much superior .. that’s why..

[@MrLew1965]

This is a Highway Machine for sure, twisty roads and canyon turns are not this bikes forte with these tires. With that said, it's the best looking "old-school" bike HD has in it's soft-tail line-up with the Deluxe following close behind. Is it me? I'm diggin the Root Beer color on this Fatty !

[@Steve-ec6ed]

That is one BADDDDD lookin bike

[@adrianlazaroroman]

I laugh every time you "travel to Mexico" 😂😂 can't help it...

[@BlockheadMoto]

Such a lovely place this time of year! 🇲🇽

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

Do the 2019 Street Rod

[@thejerseyj1636]

It's unfortunate that the surge of power and speed doesn't show well in videos. My brother owns a Honda VTX 1800 and when you twist the throttle the pull is incredible. It's like your not accelerating so much as you are being transported to a way higher speed. Want to catch up to your buddies ? Twist the throttle, BAM ! you're caught up !

[@austinscott9036]

DREAM BIKE. I just want mine blacked out.

[@scottshonting]

I’ve been wait for the 114 in the Fat Boy

[@d-dotjohnson7596]

Man the camera you use shows good nice video

[@danthechippie4439]

Very nice bike, no heal shifter??

[@peterjones4621]

Hey there, I just bought the 2022 Fat Boy, love the bike, taking slow corners, you just have to get used to it, I bought this bike for cruising, I've got a 2014 Honda CB1100 if I want to corner, it's not sport bike but I love that Honda. My last bike which I wish I'd kept and bought this bike also was a 2017 Lowrider S, yeah, your bike, I kick myself for selling it. Just wondering the front disc brake on the Fat Boy is somewhat loose and it clunks when stopping, I've read about this problem all over the web, your thoughts? Thanks for the video, good job! Faithful subscriber.

[@GautamKumarGoswami]

It is smooth because of its newly modified engine M8 - I think so !

[@tartan_ninja69]

this needs A much bigger Like Button...

[@steveimperial7760]

ALLLLLLMANNNNNNNN OMG WOOOOOOOOOOW loo at that rain.I'm so glad he told me where the turn signals were ,i just wish on his next video he shows me where the gas tankmis,I'm so tired of the same old performance vids or....orrr how the bike feels around close turns.Hey bud does the bike have a switches for lights?I would have never known where the gas gauge was located if u didn't tell us.

[@nauticalpixel]

Fat boy is gonna be my next bike. Coming from a sporty I want fast cruiser but I also want a nice ride.

[@cranialdiscomfort]

A dude passed me on a 2018 fat boy around a turn and I don't know how the Hell he didn't lowside... He was hauling ass and hanging off the left side of it. Crazy stuff.

[@hfalcon25]

I do it all the time in mine. These are not our grand daddy’s Harleys, the new H-Ds can corner hell of a lot better and they hold lines like they are on rails.

[@valentin_marin]

The Breakout it's a better bike in teams o maneuverability?

[@ronmarvicsin7709]

I would think that after riding it for awhile you’d get use to how it handles. You ride a bike with narrower tires sure but I love the FTboy

[@dannymassive]

Hmmmm that squeeky clutch...... they have a cable operated clutch rather than hydraulic. Bit budget for such a high market motorcycle. Thanks for the review :) P.S - I call them "Foot boards" !

[@benwedow7101]

Hey man, it would be really cool if you did a Softail Slim review. It's a slick bike with a classic look and I'm looking into one, just would like a review with good content on the bike.

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure, have it on the list! :)

[@jetdoctn]

I'd say the color is root beer.

[@kevinwilliamson3957]

A little help pls. If one didn’t like the tough turn fat bob, what’s your recommendation for a ride close to the fat bob, but easier to turn?

[@cluuck4617]

Consider a record session of the display in a stand still environment and edit into the main video.

[@peter9180]

Not much traffic on your roads, lucky man.
