[@RedJourneyGT650]

I really do enjoy the perspective of the Harley from the other side of the pond. It's nice to see some positive comments as well as fair criticisms. Keep going brother 🏎

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks for watching. What’s your favourite Harley bike?

[@meherenow490]

I’m from the U.K. and the Fat Bob was my first Harley, I absolutely love it, fair to say it’s expensive for what you get (mine was £17,400 on a 2021) but the Harley Brand carries a premium.

[@columbazaal4312]

I bought one. Had Kaw ZX12R before. Bloody love it. Superb machine for the taller rider. Great bike to transition to HD

[@MBUOffical]

how tall are you

[@Jonathan-L]

And in 3 years time you'll love it even more.

[@r8ksw]

I have a 2019 FatBob and love it. I am not so keen on the tank HD graphics on the 2022+ bikes

[@bryanme5771]

Same here. 2019 in performance orange! Although subjective, let's just say I love the graphics (and color) on my '19! Ride safe and enjoy...

[@christianmouraux7269]

I got one and I love every minute I spend on it. Thank you for your excellent review 👍 Fully agree with all your remarks

[@TheBikeFather]

Glad to hear that. I recently became a Harley owner, my very first one, but I decided to go with a Sport Glide. I love it.

[@eduardoravanelli5832]

the best HD ever

[@camerondorris-pheigh8665]

Ive had a 2022 for about a year, love it so far! just need new tires I try not to get deep into corners with the showroom tires. Great video!

[@TheBikeFather]

👊🤘

[@TomekKuzel]

Very interesting video, a lot of interesting information. I have a question, what kind of helmet are you wearing in this video?

[@FreedomRider1982]

Beautiful bike ! I just came across your channel actually and I'm happy to support you and other fellow content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from your channel in the future. Keep up the great work and ride safe, out there ...

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks

[@zeo_here]

The Fat Bob looks so cool and aggressive, and the Street Bob is also cool. I'd have to test ride to choose haha. Awesome video btw

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks. I was planning to do a video on the streetbob as well, but I didn’t really enjoy it, so after riding it for half an hour or so, I took it back. But I definitely enjoyed riding the fat bob and sport glide.

[@Braapstar219]

Had a hard time picking as well torn between this, streetbob and breakout. But after a few months worth of thinking. I ended up with a breakout. Best decision lol

[@TheBikeFather]

I haven't been on a Breakout yet. Looks good, but also almost £3k-4k more expensive than the Fat Bob here in UK.

[@drainmonkeys385]

That’s an awesome bike…. So bad ass looking,, by far the most aggressive looking

[@TheBikeFather]

It is indeed. Thanks for watching 👍

[@gavincostin1729]

I use Sycamore Harley and have test rode this bike too, the seats great, style awesome, its our next bike tbh, I have had my Streetbob since Oct 2021 done 5k on it its great but the first thing to go was the seat for a nice Saddle man, plus a few other mods, Engine moustache that gives forward foot rest position which is great, Sycamore stuck a stage 1 and some sick V&H mini grenades on it. Yes Harleys have that great sound and tbh i still cant find a bike to beat them, been on a rocket 3 too not like a Harley, have a XSR900 22 model from Uppingham and thats still no where near the Harley, Horses for courses but for me Harleys are the only real bike. I may change my mind and our Monkey bike is as fun but no power comparison.

[@TheBikeFather]

In the end I went for a Sport Glide. I just got it about a month ago. I found it overall a better package/value compared to the Fat Bob.

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

How did the Fat Bob compare to the Sport Glide? Pros and Cons between them as I'm looking at both. Thanks.

[@TheBikeFather]

Both felt really good. I liked the mean/aggressive look of the fat Bob, but the sport glide offered more in terms of value, bigger tank, cruise control, side panniers, etc..so I went with the sport glide. I would also suggest looking at the low rider ST. That’s similar to sport glide but more power and perhaps more wind protection.

[@ralphdajao9514]

How’s the heat in th legs?

[@kennethdean7437]

Which do you prefer, Fat Bob or Street BoB, thanks

[@gavincostin1729]

Streetbob is so easy with big slim front wheel, Fatbob for the extra 2k has twin discs, upside down forks, straight easy bars, although i tilted my streetbob back 3 inches for easy use, also external suspension adjustment and an easy revcounter and dials, plus stock seats perfect and save £350 for a decent upgrade, so in my opinion even though i'm not selling the Streetbob, i will get a fatbob too next year, and if i had of researched more then Fatbob all day long. Hope you get one. BTW i have done 5k on the streetbob, its great fun, best test ride them well and see what feels best.

[@TheBikeFather]

Between the two you mentioned, I would go for the fat bob. Between the fat bob and sport glide, I went for sport glide. Just got mine about a month ago.

[@HowellDiesel]

If only it came with a 6 gallon tank :( I just went with the 117 FXLRS, extremely happy with my choice it's quite literally perfect.

[@TheBikeFather]

Agreed. They should’ve added a bigger tank. I just bought a sport glide. I haven’t had a chance to many any videos just yet

[@HowellDiesel]

@@TheBikeFather nice 👌🏾

[@stephenharper7356]

Hi good review I have brought the bike you reviewed

[@TheBikeFather]

awesome. How are you finding it?

[@Black_Onyx]

Thanks for this nice review 👍

[@TheBikeFather]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

[@Mike-bv2yf]

Love mine.

[@TheBikeFather]

It’s a great bike. I enjoyed test riding it 😍

[@citydread1327]

The Sportglide is standing out ❤

[@TheBikeFather]

Love them both. Really enjoyed riding them but I think I prefer the sport glide more.

[@bishalgogoi1993]

sportster s or this one Which one is best ?

[@deputysoandso6105]

Fat bob all day long

[@1821mail]

Long distance ride: Fat Bob

[@TheBikeFather]

definitely the fat bob. I was very disappointed when I test rode the sportster s

[@abdullaalhammadi6828]

The best & worthy HD

[@TheBikeFather]

❤️👍

[@transporter1387]

13.36 following the police with High beam on 🙃

[@TheBikeFather]

lol 😂

[@TheBikeFather]

to be honest, for a very long time I havent even noticed I had my high beams on. I think only close to the end I've spotted that and switched them off. Even on my bike, I don't ride with the high beams on.

[@dantheman2212]

I have a 2021 FatBob it’s on my page I love this bike ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I have a 2022 Indian Scout Rogue as well

[@gwaddles]

Love the Fat Bob

[@TheBikeFather]

👍

[@GBMatthew07]

Way too quiet exhaust needs some slip-ons at least.

[@TheBikeFather]

well this one had the Vance and Hines exhaust already. The exhaust sound had a nice tune, deep, but it wasn;t very loud, so I can only assume it had the baffle/silencer in.

[@GBMatthew07]

@@TheBikeFather Wow my bad, that's surprised me.

[@TheBikeFather]

@@GBMatthew07 You can never really tell the actual sound of an exhaust. You need to be there to really feel it, like music in a club.

[@GBMatthew07]

@@TheBikeFather Very true. A club1 what's that, ah I remember those :P

[@carltonbirds]

How on earth did you end up in a field?

[@CrusaderGeneral]

discontinued in 2023, im gonna be bur ied with mine

[@TheBikeFather]

Not in the UK or Europe. I know also the sport glide was discontinued from the US market yet here in the UK/EU it’s one of their best sellers.

[@CrusaderGeneral]

@@TheBikeFather you're right, I just confirmed for UK. Wonder what they are planning. Usually they canc. the bikes in EU before they do in US for the trx gender agenda emission laws. VMAX 1700 is perfect example

[@ercellandrus3665]

Those are slip ons, not pipes.

[@Davidbrant-r1l]

Buy INDIAN. Fire CEO and upper management. Or stocks are going to drop drastically. But WILLIE will wait just like AMF.

[@aliencode8681]

I want it in the newest year available always and I’m going to keep dreaming I can have a motorcycle again please send me one to turn a man’s dream to reality

[@Vanfools]

Harley should just stop producing bikes while their ahead lol

[@TheBikeFather]

Why? What do you mean?

[@loweredyote8416]

They make great bikes. Just not ungodly fast like everyone thinks bikes should be

[@TheBikeFather]

well. no one said they are sports bike, but I felt they had plenty of power. Especially once yo've done a stage 2. If I wanted a fast bike, I would definitely not choose a Harley, however, comfort, style, sound.. these are my top 3 reasons for choosing something like this.
