    Thanks for doing the Fatboy ride. Let's start. I have done long rides and doing big one to Newcastle in march. I have cruise control and it's killa. My 18 fatty has a 260 rear. I reckon it handles awesome.
    The rims. Leave the solid you bunch of sooks. All bike catch wind. Lean in and enjoy it. Cutting out the rims takes away the Fatboy look. . Your a legend gnarly.

      Hey peter !!! Oh hell yeah that sounds bloody awesome mate. I imagine once you're used to it you'd have it dialed in the corners. It's hard for me not to compare the the other Harley's I've recently rode that's all. Appreciate the feedback !
      Mate ! The full dinner plate rims are the best !!!!!!! I totally agree with you, it's the fatboy look and they need to bring them back. Thanks for watching mate 🧡🖤🤙

    I personally have a '23 Fatboy in Billiard Blue. It actually corners fine, you just have to trust in it. When I first got mine, I had the same feeling you did but by the end of the summer I was swooping around corners. Nothing crazy, it's not a sport bike but it can take more than you think at first. You are also right on that seat. Any ride longer than 45 mins and you'll be hurting with the stock seat and the stock pillion seat is a punisher. I swapped out mine for a Harley hammock seat. Much much better. Makes the bike look a little more old school as well which some folks may not like but you won't have a sore back end after an hour of riding. Great bike. Highly recommend!

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Oh awesome, I love that colour mate ! Beautiful looking bike. Sorry mate, I was comparing the handling to other it to the other Harley's I've ridden. I'm sure it's good once I get used to it. Definitely see where you are coming from and I appreciate the feedback. ( I don't think I was used to the fat tyre haha ). Ahhh okay, seat always makes a big difference too doesn't it. Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

    Hey Matt, a bit more additional info. My wife and I now ride 2up, 2022 RGS. Before this bike we had a 2018 then 2019 Fatboy, with a 2020 SGS in between like your dad’s. The 18 fatty was great but because of the 160 front wheel did make it handle a little slower but I changed the bars and just rode it, awesome! 19 fatty, had a breakout 21” front wheel and different bars, changed the handling a million % and a much more enjoyable bike to ride.Out of the box with standard suspension they are an awesome touring bike. can’t say that about the SGS or RGS just add another 15k for changes so overall the fatty has been our favourite bike but couldn’t afford to have 2 Harley’s so the RGS is better for our touring and much longer rides. I think a Lowrider ST would be a great bike for you and next test ride. 👍

    No doubt the Fat Boy has a serious presence!
    Iconic with Arnie outrunning the T1000 in T2 Judgement Day. 😁 😆
    The "whole look" (even though it's modern) has definitely stayed solid like the previous models.
    Except even more mammoth!
    Seemed like you had a blast on it,
    but I reckon I can safely say that you'll keep your Fat Bob for a while brother!!

      @Gnarly_Harley your welcome brother. When you have ridden on the mighty fatboy for awhile. You get accustomed to the handling characteristics. You have to be as one with the beast. Lean in to the corner's and get half off the seat to keep the lean angle to a minimum. It takes awhile to get the hang of it. Onya bro 🤙🎸🍻👌🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🙋‍♂️

    it handles like a tesco trolly with a broken wheel, but thats part of the fun. when you do get used to its odd handling you can start to push it and push it untill you can force to go around corners, and there lies the fun.

    Hello Matt! Finally.... you got to review the Fat Boy!!! You did an outstanding job and a great review! Like you said... it's a cruiser motorbike! Like the Breakout... made for cruising, but still an awesome looking Harley Davidson!!! I wouldn't feel too comfortable leaning that big old bike over in the corners either. A person can always replace the seat for a more comfortable one. That Fat Boy really does sound bad ass with that exhaust system on it! And yes... thank you to your Sunshine Harley Davidson for working with you and offering a discount if they mention you! Now that is a class motorbike company! Don't know if it's possible, but could you do a test ride on the 2024 Road Glide CVO ST? John...

    Hey I ride a Road Glide now but own a 2020 fatboy as well they actually preform ok in the corners after a few hours riding they lock into the head. They also take a different mussel memory. But they do well in the twistys once you tune the head back into the rise... Mainly ride the glide now but still love my fatboy.

I think it's because I'm not used to the massive rear tyre haha. Still a bloody amazing bike ! I love them either way. Thanks for the info I appreciate the feedback.

    Great video. I have a ‘21 FatBoy and have never experienced crosswind issues with the solid wheels. Totally agree that the handling isn’t great though. Price you pay for a 240mm rear tyre. I find the best way to corner is by counter-steering.

      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 4 měsíci +1

    Love the reviews bro, especially the honesty. I gotta ask: who is the breakout for and who is the fat boy for? Can you elaborate a bit more on the differences of their intended use and who would buy each one? Thanks.

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Thanks mate, really appreciate that just keeping it real.
      That is a hard one to answer as everyone buys them for different reasons etc. But in my personal opinion I think the breakout is for a taller person and abit of a status bike as it looks bloody amazing. Perfect head turner ! Also has the 117 so more power than the fatboy.
      The fatboy is iconic and in my opinion would suit a shorter person due to the floor boards, abit more of a subtle bike not as showy as the breakout that's for sure.
      To sum it up both are for someone wanting a great weekend cruiser basically intended for the same thing... but my pick is definitely the breakout.
      Hope that helps mate and thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

    Good review Gnarly, the Fat Boy is the quintessential Harley Davidson! I’m not sure if you have already done a review on the new 117ci Breakout, but would be interested to see that and your comparison of these two bikes. Cheers mate.

      Thanks mate !!! I've reviewed a 117 2023 breakout if that's the model you're talking about ? Beautiful bike ! Gets a lot of looks. (Head turner). If I'm honest I'd own a breakout over the fatboy. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

    Hey mate, I’ve got the same helmet as you but riding with the visor up get a mad whistle do you get the same or have you combated it with a change? Thinking of an open face.. I’m riding the 23 breakout ✌️

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Hey mate, nah I get a gnarly friggen whistle too it does my head in !!! You would of heard me close my helmet as soon as I got to speed due to that reason. Abit of a bummer ! Hopefully upgrade eventually. I usually chuck on the open face when not filming.
      Oh hell yeah the breakout is bloody beautiful!!!! Thanks for watching 🧡🖤

    Thanks for the review. I'm considering buying one of these but I'm concerned about the limited cornering clearance/scraping. I noticed that you didn't scrape in the curves. Can it be said that even though the handling is generally bad the cornering clearance is good enough? I can tolerate having to muscle it around curves but I can't tolerate scraping, and risking hitting hard parts, on some curvy country roads.

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 4 měsíci

      No worries mate, thanks for watching !
      Look... I bloody love smashing it through the corners and tend to ride pretty hard sometimes. Personally I wouldn't be doing it on this. But... it depends on your riding style. Probably one of my favourite looking Harley's but Personally (for me) I wouldn't buy one. Definitely go for a test ride though. I still had a lot of fun !
      Cheers 🧡🖤🤙

      This is true, but I was also comparing it to other Harley's I've ridden for the same time frame (only a few hours). I imagine I'd get used to the fat rear tyre. They are a beautiful looking bike that's for sure !! Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

      Sorry for the last reply, I think I'd have to go with the breakout. Just looks so bloody cool and the 117 is awesome 🤙 I was abit more comfortable on it too due to my height. such a hard choice !!!

  • @thomasrostl1673
    @thomasrostl1673 Před 4 měsíci +1

    How would you say the handling of the Fat Boy (and Breakout) is compared to your own Fat Bob?

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Not just because I own one but the fatbob is well ahead in handling and has the 2nd or 3rd best lean angle out of all the harley models Believe it or not. Apart of the reason I chose the bike in the first place. Not sure about the new model fatbob but I'm keen to test ride it.

    I have this same bike in sharkskin blue the stock seat is shit the handling isn’t great but if you run the tyre pressures at 42 on rear and 38 on front and trust yourself the bike will corner pretty well nowhere near a sports bike but that’s not why you buy a Harley .

      Push right to go right I'm very familiar. Just doesn't handle great in my opinion, and that's okay for people to own one to get upset it's only my personal opinion and comparing them to all the other models I've ridden they are definitely not as good for handling. (And that's okay because it's a perfect cruiser). I'm just being honest mate that's how I want to keep my reviews. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
