I wouldn't, $750 surcharge. extra charge for ABS Brake. And I don't care for them taking away the left dummy cap on the fuel tank. Looks kind of lopsided now.

I have not liked the Fatboy since they redesigned it. I have always wondered how many they sell since they did that.

I have had 2 fatboys and liked them both. A demo ride will let you know if the bike's for you. Last year I was sure I was going to buy the low rider s because of the 117 but I passed after my demo ride because of the very uncomfortable riding position.

In January, I had a demo ride on the 23 road king special and loved it and bought it. So it all boils down to personal preference. Lots of aftermarket goodies for the fatboy.

Had a deposit on a 120th Anniversary Fat Boy, but after looking at them for a while, decided the front ends of these bikes are just not my cup of tea. Went with a Breakout instead. That slim tire in front is a better fit for me.
