Having spent 6 years on R1's doing the knee down thing and track days, I bought one of these after taking it for a test ride and finding a different kind of fun. I don't understand why people compare them to sports bikes. They are not sports bikes, they are cruisers and immensely awesome cruisers. I took my missus on the back all around Normandy this year and not once was the weight an issue even with luggage, and at 5' 8" I'm not a big guy. These things could tow a caravan. Spent around 9 hours a day in the saddle and never felt uncomfortable. It truly is an awesome bike. A Harley is a Harley and not something you can compare to other bikes.

Im not a harley guy but god damn thats a good looking harley. 100% would own

I've never had so many admiring glances for a bike before. Even people who wouldn't normally turn their heads for a bike.

I ride street bikes but for first time I test ride a Harley Fat Bob and I really liked everything about it, good job Harley Davidson for making it.

I just bought one yesterday, it’s my first Harley and I absolutely love it. Coming from sport bikes I was expecting a different feel. I’m in love now!

The best Harley being built right now. They’ve sorted this one out nicely.

I really do love this machine. Finally Harley is getting with it for the 2 lane crowned twisties. No Scraping Parts! It's a Blast to ride.

The only Harley I've wanted for years! Good review as always Mr. Bob!

Definitely my favorite bike right now. Thanks for the vid!

This is the only Harley that speaks to me, great review on it

Imo this is the best modern Harley out. Then the the discontinued v rod/night rod.

Just bought one...what a magnificent bike..really recommend it!

Loved the style of your video guys, the music just calm like siting in coffee shop on rainy day in london

This is the best fatbob video I’ve seen and I’ve been looking for a long time!!!

I'm an aussie. I own an 2018 fat bob. I'm really short 168cm and 78kg. My arms are only 60cm. I put the harley Reach seat and the street slammer bars is so comfortable now is great with the cruise control too. I have the 107 with the torque cam. Oh wow the power and characteristics of the bike incredible now it sounds like the older Harleys. Recommend a cam for sure in the M8s.

It's really nice to see Harley trying new things. I don't like the headlight but the rest of the bike looks killer

Excellent review , I love how this guy got all excited hitting the throttle... Sweet machine I want one

Thanks for the video Bob. What a great bike the Fatbob looks!!

I really like the classic ones but this, this one i would love to have!

The best bike, got my yesterday.

Love the aggressive looks! 🏍

One of the best ever made!

I own a Fat Bob 107 and trust me it is a lot of fun!

Enjoyed the insight into this Harley, very cool machine. Personal preference Adventure bikes. But I love all motorcycles and what they offer, Freedom. I really enjoy 😀 your vids Bob 👍🙏

I absolutely love this bike.

Great video, and thoughts on what you felt was good about it. Ive just bought one, had it about 2 months and put 1000 miles on it. Its a hoot to ride, really good fun on the local roads near me in Essex in the UK. Much more usable power than the GSXR I let go. Wont be swapping any time soon. Just put a Mustang Solo Touring seat on it for some much more comfortable trips out.

Must say it’s the only Harley that I like, would consider one of these, thanks for the review.👍

I LOVE THIS BIKE... I was thinking about getting low rider s BUT i saw this one in real life yesterday AND IM IN LOVE...

I can understand people wanting a more classic front light but I think it looks so mean / commanding. No complaints from me. It looks like a Sportster had a Dodge Challenger dropped onto it. This thing is mean as all hell, I hope one day I'll get to test one of these out. I hope HD will keep moving forward with the right kind of bikes to keep new riders coming to them while still maintaining their roots, only time will tell though.

Great review👍

Buy the HD long neck mirrors and mount them upside down. Great coverage, no tank contact at full lock and looks cool.

GREAT VIDEO REVIEW! Awesome work and really enjoyed that! Just so you know they are "Reduced forward controls" ;)

5:06 your verbal restraint here is admirable sir lol

I bought one with 114cu 3 month ago. Its my first bike and I love it. I feel the weight somethimes but still a agile bike. the only bad thing for me is the tank with his reach. I would buy it again for sure.

Now this I like. I checked one out yesterday here in Brisbane. Just a look, not a test tide, but it has that 'certain something'. I've recently been hugely critical of the dreadfully fake and contrived Triumph Bobber, but respect to HD with this.

Great review. What's the jacket you are wearing?

I absolutely love how they pushed the envelope aesthetically while retaining a character that's unmistakably H-D. With the Sportster S and now especially the Nightster, my fear is that this Fat Bob is the last real innovation we'll ever see in their cruisers that's imbued with the MINIMALISM that is (was?) at the heart of the brand...

More appreciative of the effort you put into your work than the Bob. ❤ Beautiful 😭🙌

You seem to have chosen roads more suited to Raleigh than Harley but good review. I love Harleys but only ever owned an 88" Super Glide and would probably want the older 96" Fat Bob than this latest version?

Smart bike but that rear number plate cradle set up needs a tail tidy...love the front end and headlight!

Well, I would almost be banished if I pulled up on that around my buddies but I would definitely take that chance!! I really, really, love this bike! Made for riding!

Nice review. Next time swap your cameras though, the session stabilization isn't up to the blacks' when viewed in 1080.

It looks like it was built for a apocolypse

I was between this bike or the new T100 Black and chose the Triumph... no regrets hahaha! Still would love this bike as a second bike.

Commuting in Central London at legal speeds is much easier on smaller machines. Hey even 125s are fine up to the max of 40 on most urban roads, are cheap, do over 120 (UK) Mpg, and easy to push around. The Harley and Triumph Rocket type cruisers always look like they suit some long straight empty single carriage way road. Just like there are lots of in the USA. In the UK the long straight roads are usually dual carriageways and filled with lorries and cars and the empty single carriage way roads are twisty. I'd like a ride of a big cruiser but I doubt I'll ever buy one unless I moved to the USA (unlikely to happen). I do like looking at the v twin, to me they look like works of art.

P.S. In America, the 2 lane country roads are almost 3 times as wide as England's. Most folks here where I live do 70mph + on them.

Interesting comment about the mirrors at around 9 mins. I've got one of these and the mirrors are pretty useless (as they were on my previous 48) unless you just want to look at your chest and under your armpits! You can mount the mirrors upside down as you said, and it looks good, but they bang into the tank on full lock if you do this. I ended up fitting some of those small concave mirrors in the outer edges of the bike's mirrors and this helps a good deal. Technology wise, it does have LED headlight, LED combined rear/stop/signal lights at the back, drive-by-wire (Cable-less) throttle, anti-lock braking and a USB port. Seems pretty advanced for a Harley, but I've not owned a Japanese bike since the 1980s so maybe I'm just out of touch. Weirdly, they didn't fit LED indicators at the front. I've replaced all mine with smaller LED units all round. You can also get things like heated grips (I fitted my own) and cruise control as extras. I also have a V&H FP3 attached permanently and this can give you quite a lot of info on your phone if you really want that. It's also got belt drive, mono-shock rear and upside down cartridge forks at the front. It's certainly more modern than any other Harley I've owned and rides more like a Triumph or something like that, than a regular Harley. Good review, interesting for me to see - thanks!

Out of all the Harleys, the only two I would ever consider owning would be this Fat Bob (bit offensive to you, the naming of this bike) and the Sportster, especially since from a bike I want tonnes of usual torque and sporty cornering (especially doing textbook "exit from corner onto a straight" overtake). Obviously, with this bike, there would be a lot done to make it look and sound better, but that happens with every new bike. Just wanna say, as well, I'm not too sure about the camera angle on your lid, personally. I feel like it's way too low and almost looks like you're crouching over the tank on every bike. But still, amazing video

Great review mate ! 👌👌ahhh, if I had the money I would love to own one to go with my ST 👍

Don’t think it’s the motors as much as the new emission regulations! Seen a video where they cut out the cats in the pipe. There is a 10-12in section in the pipe that is completely filled, can’t see though. Then you also have the “cans” on the ends.

Bob you are riding way too fast down the country lanes, hence your moment with the van! Especially on such a heavy bike. Stay safe.

Nice looking bike not your usual Harley

i did like the original fat bob, didn't realise it weighed in at 298 kgs... The new one, looks the business but... 317 kgs...i am surprised you felt comfortable on such tiny roads... 317 kgs... to put the weights in perspective, the Rocket made by the Light Car Company only weighed in at 380 kgs, and thats a two seater car. Great review though.

I would add that while the bike has loads of torque, that is offset by a 675lb wet weight. So a bike weighing in at 525 lbs has a 25% reduction in weight and even a lower torque number will result in similar acceleration - torque result. Imagine if Harley went on a diet and shaved 150 lbs, how much better could that bike feel? Great review I just subscribed to your channel 😎

I'd love a harley 😕 not this one though. I'd like to try a street bob, Bob 😅 but I've always had a soft spot for sportsters (1200 NOT 883, totally different bikes! ) since I first rode one 10 years ago. Lighter and slimmer than the big harleys but they're still grunty and make all the right noises!

Different tire will also help the handling

Holy shit you ride fast down those narrow roads. I was stressed just watching. Slow down a bit bud. Stay safe. And great review.

Fat Bob is the only Harley Davidson that calls out to me to ride it. The only sporty bike in their lineup. Still 300kg is heavy and that's just the way Americans build their bikes due to wide open roads and cheap fuel. The other Harley I am going to ride one day is the Street Glide. Maybe low Rider S. But that's it, I just know they are all pretty much the same riding experience... I would buy one only if I live in US. Cheers Riders ☻☻😁

Can you please tell me what make jacket your wearing , Thanks

Just got 1 2020

I want One

What is the Fatbobs 115 max horsepower?

The M8 is a 💯% better IMO compared to the yesteryear models it doesn’t vibrate ridiculously like the older models and performs so much better

What mount is that for the GoPro?

What is that jacket you’re wearing?

The bag's undone the bag's undone what do we do?!

How are they able to make it so heavy? Looks good though! For me, it's too big, too heavy and too powerful. I love a light, nimble bike.

that country lane is asking for a shunt nice bike tho.

Harley is TRYING to reach out to a Younger Market. They need to KEEP their current Market... but if they are to continue into the future, they MUST also bring in new and younger customers. Although I am a 'naked-bike' rider... I do have a 'cruiser'. And I Often ride with Friends with Cruisers, including a Lot of Harleys. I am a little short of the Funds to throw at this Bike, for now. But would strongly consider it as my 2nd bike... for riding with my friends on longer trips than what I do on my naked bike, or for simply enjoying some open road and curving country roads. But I'll KEEP my 'naked bike'... it has been "tweaked" with some performance extras, for Track Days and those Really Twisty mountain roads! About all I would think of changing on this bike is some removable saddle bags for road trips, a removable back-rest, and work on some kind of smaller wheel and tire combo on the front... for a little quicker steering. Overall, a Very Nice Bike...that I would be Glad to own!

How is the ground clearance? Any foot/peg scrapes?

great review, great bike. But riding a Harley with a white helmet is a no no!

Does anyone know what jacket he is wearing? Looks great!

Would you recommend this bike for a 6’2 tall rider?

What did he say Is or I sent a beginners bike?

I own one I love it But handle bars gotta go I like bars level with my shoulders.

If you think that is torquey then you need to test ride the Ducati X Diavel that is a beast of a bike 😳😳

I agree with most of what you said. I do enjoy mine but it is really let down by shocking build quality and poor reliability. At £16k I don't think it's unreasonable of me to expect better.

Brakes are brembo's they cooperate with them. You can see small brembo logo in the front disc if you really look at it.

You can park a super bike and a fat bob side by side, more people Will take a pic of the harely

Im 6'2 do you recommend this?

Don't like this one prefer the Fat Boy...or even the new Triumph Rocket 3.

2019 "its a £15k bike" 2022 they are now an £18.5k bikes

I did not care for the rear brake pedal or feel needs an angled block on it for me

I commute on mine and it's the bollocks

It looks like it should have off road tires.

Ever heard of using indicators?

The Reinhardt slip ons sound better and cost less

Does it have an ABS?

Would never fit in my front gate , breathe in .

get it back to the shed at the first sign of rain, or it will quickly go all brown and horrible.

I'm a rocker who earns £10/hours. So this bike isn't for my wallet.

Sounds like your yelling your way through the video. We are right here ,no reason to yell. Sounds like were being scolded.

The airbox filter on this bike hits your right leg making your leg spread open wide. Its a bad design. The rocket 3 kills every other cruiser. Please dont compare rocket 3 to any other bike in the world. Its in a league of its own.
