I'm looking at a new bike and am considering both of these. When you price them out with ABS they are the same. Just looking for some opinions from those with experience on both or one of them.

 

You really need to ride both as they are very different from each other.

 

Comes down to a Dyna versus Softail preference.

Which frame/chassis fits you better, and which do you like better?
I've had a Dyna, I've had an FL Glide, I currently have a Softail, and my wife has a Sporty.
Loved all my bikes, each had a different personality. Had to go to a Softail cuz I need the laid back lazy boy recliner seat style for my bad back.
But I loved 'em all.

 

I kinda prefer the look and feel of the Fat Bob, but the bikes are so different it really boils down to which one you like better - ride them both and I'll bet you one of them clicks more with you...

 

Only way for you to know is test them and see

 

I think a Fat Bob is more of "riders" bike and the Fat Boy more of a "cruisers" bike. I grew up on dirt bikes and have been very happy with how a Fat Bob rides - I enjoy cornering and general "hot *******" riding and the Fat Bob is great but a few mods are necessary...

 

For me its not even close! Fatboy all the way! Sit down low comfortable, foot boards, smooth counterbalanced engine ,standard ABS and Cruise, and sexy Softail looks. Plus the Fatboy is a way better bike for customizing and making it your own. It pretty much looks good with the stock handle bars, with Drag bars or apes. Looks good with many different style wheels. There's so many different directions you can go with the Fatboy and it will look great. Fatboy is much better for 2 up riding. With the Fatbob it pretty much only looks good with Drag bars. Apes look ridiculous on it. Your just stuck with that similar stock style. With that being said there's nothing wrong with that style if that's what you like then its pretty much done for you minus the obvious exhaust mods and stuff. Obviously this is just my personal taste and opinion.

 

I like a white fatbob.

 

Fatbob is one of the best handlers in the lineup.

 

FatBoy all the way! The bob is cool, but you're eventually gonna want to graduate to a more comfortable ride if you go that route. So why not get the bike that is a keeper instead of soon to be trade-in
