Is this really the Harley you want? Fat Boy test drive review

Solid wheels are my favorite on the fatboy. If they are good enough for the Terminator, then they are good enough for me.

Beautiful motorcycle sir. I had an 06’ with fuel injection, loved that bike. My Fat Boy was black however, although I do like blue.

Bought a brand new Fat Boy in 91 after returning from the Gulf War and saving 90% of my pay for the 9 months I spent there. I never thought I would get rid of it but I happened to see a beautiful 92 FXR that had been completely gone through and fell in love with it immediately. The Fat Boy was a comfortable cruiser but my FXR is a full tilt boogie type of Harley. It's now supercharged, very quick and handles better than any Harley I have ever owned. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable on a long ride. Definitely fun in a canyon carving up a highway though

at 3:40 he stated "1st time bags been drugged, I'll try not to do it again". During my Motorcycle safety course on my Fatboy which i lowered, i knew my Bike floor boards scraped during sharp turns, I let it scrap, the floor boards fold/pivot. knowing your bike is Key to riding through obstacles, in the Safety coarse many rides straighten there bikes when they heard the scrapping noise & failed to hold the course & had to circle back again. knowing your bike stopping power is also Key, for myself i Know the rear tire is going to slide so i'm prepared knowing to keep the front wheel on coarse, " Not Losing Control" OK Every rider, Safe Thump Up.

[@thomasbarnardjr9657]

Sean, I got nothing but respect for you, but it's a fact that the front rim can affect the ride. We've got bridges down here that have cross winds that will push that bike right into the next lane. You love the solid front rims... that's great for you. But I myself, like many others don't. That's for the rider to decide. All that being said, I wouldn't let the front wheel scare me from buying the bike, but it would definitely be changed if I did. I don't need to grow up to know what I like and what I don't when it comes to riding. As a rider, the biggest selling point of a motorcycle for me is the ride. And anything that affects the ride of a bike needs to be considered. And the wheels of a motorcycle are a big part of that. All this said, that's just my opinion and my thoughts on the subject. Like I said, I think you're a great guy, and I love the test rides you do.
