I have owned both....I came back to a Sportster for a reason....I HATED my Fatbob.

 

Fat Bob,,,
Lean angle 30/31,,not bad XD
about 115 Lbs heavier,,
3.7" longer wheel base..
6 speed,,,Would almost hang with the 1200 to about 100,,
then walk away In 6th gear,,,

It would be my choice for a second bike IF I had the coin,,
I will never sell my Roadster

 

Yep.

The superglide dyna looks a lot like the sportster c model, in my opinion, just about 20% bigger.

I personally like that the sportsters don't have instruments on the tank; it is a cleaner look.

 

Yeah, I was looking for a second bike.

 

I like looking at the women on the Sportsters...Don't see too many on Fat Bob's.

 

All I know is I would love to have a factory six speed in my Sportster. With that said, the Fat Bob is one of only two big twins I would ever consider owning, the other being a RK.

 

No, it won't. The Big Twin makes less power than the 1200, and it moves more mass, so it just doesn't have the power to move all that additional bulk any faster than the 1200.

 

How much less HP? How much more or less torque?

I was under the impression that the Big Twin makes more torque and slightly more HP, but has alot more weight to move.

 

The 96" BT makes 13# more torque, but about 8 hp less than the 1200 Sportster.

 

Yeah true,,that 115 extra ponuds,,

But still the sixth gear,,
Sportster doin 110,,the Bob still has some legs left right ?
