why would you consider it a muscle. didn't have a ton of torque, and the top speed was 105.. it's for cruising not meant to be a rocket.. outdated.. classy doesn't become outdated. their version of the muscle bike was the v-rod, and look where that got them. low sales and now it's gone

Plus don't worry about the Muscle part. Its the Modern part that matters. The Fat Boy was originally designed to be Modern and ahead of its time. It became dated because Harley never refreshed it. So people just got use to the same 90s style look. But when it first came out it was different and that was the point!
And now its finally Back! Big Bold and different and on Top!

Muscle never ment super fast. Look at Muscle cars. There usually Heavy big cars with a v8. Not a Sports car or Super car! There quick not fast and all about style. I never said a Super Bike!

it didn't need to be refreshed. and now it's become a movie prop. i remember 15 years ago when every chopper had a 240/ 250 tire. Then victory flooded the market with their bike and the 240, again look where they are. Riding on a beach ball no matter what engine size is not gonna do well. good luck leaning that bike over without getting to the point where the tire gives you that oh **** moment. look at the guys who put the huge tire on the back of a sport bike. they're good for going straight. last i checked people like to do twistie roads, lol not on that thing
That says a lot considering it was almost dead.

I remember years ago with they started putting the 200mm on the Softail Customs and Night train. People bitched and moaned. Saying it would handle like sh$t. Well that time as come and gone and now that size in the norm. If it was a 280mm or 300mm I would agree with you. Harley is one of the last companies that would put a tire on a bike that couldn't handle well. Trust me its all good.
