Obviously, I prefer the Fatboy, but the Fatbob is a very nice bike.

what the dealer said to me was the fatboy was better for thew states with all your freeways etc - Euro roads have a lot more twists and harder riding - he said the fatbob was more suitable for Ireland / UK ETC -What I could not see between the two bikes was 4000 euros in the differerence
