2016 Fat Boy
 

Hi everybody .....I'm looking to trade in my sportster for a fat boy. Been looking for reviews of 2016 fat boy and not finding much. Then it dawned on me to ask in the forum. So, if you have a fat boy can you give me some info? Handling, ride,braking, turning etc. any problems encountered? I'm a new rider and feel I have already outgrown my superlow

Love mine! The only thing I would ever consider instead is a Road King (which is pretty much the Fatboy of the touring line). It won't be as nimble as your Sportster, but you'll feel a lot less cramped and more comfortable. If I were buying a bike today, I would get the Fatboy S. That is the slickest version of the Fatboy since they came out in 1990. I sat on one the other day and almost thought about considering a contemplation on a trade-in...:D

Thanks for input. I really think I'm gonna do it. I test drove one the other day - just in a big empty parking lot and already I felt the difference in the smoothness of the ride. I think I mentioned ijust got comfy with my sporty but am really romancing the fat boy! Thanks again ride safe :)

I love my Fat Boy Lo!

Same as a Fat Boy, but with less chrome and slightly lower.

Lovin' my '14 Fat Lo.

:icon_ditto:Right down to that AWESOME color!

Oh... review?
Well, I've taken mine through some mild twisties and it handles surprisingly well for a bigger bike. The power is there, though it seems more there now that I've changed the pipes and AC and threw a canned tune on :D

how long have you been riding

The Harley Davidson Fatboy is one of the best bikes Harley makes. It is one on the most balanced comfortable bikes made. Plus its one of the best platforms to start with to go custom. You wont regret one bit buying one. That fat 140 tire up front plows through all the road imperfections better then any other Harley. Its great for 2 up riding and there is tons of seating and other customization options and parts. Looks good with beach bars, apes or drag bars. Its the perfect Harley. Go for it!!

This is my 3rd harley, but i've test ridden a bunch of others. never did test ride a fatboy even though it had always been my favorite looking bike. i'm glad i didn't until right before i bought one, cause i would of been driving myself crazy to get one. it was always my dream bike, and since buying it, it is the best riding/handling bike i've ever owned! Like he said^^^, it's the perfect bike.
