Harley Davidson Fat Bob Demo Ride 2023

I take you along on my Demo ride of a 2023 Harley Davidson Fat Bob during the Homecoming Rally. These Demo rides were at the Harley Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, WI

You tried out a street bob 114 yet?

[@Badgerbiker]

I haven’t however I’m not a big fan of the Street Bob look. Something about the fuel tank looks a little off to me. Or maybe it’s the Mini Ape looking bars. Something just seems odd. But I’ll have to give it a ride the next chance I get.

Super review , enjoyed seeing you open it up. How tall are you please ? From Mark in England

[@Badgerbiker]

Thanks for watching. I’m 5’11 and have a 30 inch inseam. Super fun day rider. Front fat tire makes it a little slow cornering but you can still push it through the twisty roads.

Is it any easier to handle than the street Bob. Just demoed a new one and didn’t like it at all. To heavy and unruly. Engine didn’t sound feel like a Harley.

[@Badgerbiker]

The heavy feeling is mostly due to the fat front tire. It would take a little more grunt to slice through the corners which a rider would get used to. As for the sound, well the M8 in my opinion HAS lost some of the Harley “potato” sound but that can be brought back with a little cam upgrade. The M8 is a much smoother feeling engine as well and can be easily turned into a monster torque engine with some simple upgrades which in my opinion is far superior than what you get from a Twin Cam after some major upgrades. The M8 was definitely a nice step in the right direction for Harley.

@@BadgerbikerThanks for the info.

@@Badgerbiker P.S. Also, the bike just felt heavy at a stand still and going slow around corners it felt like it would tip over.
