This bike is everything I loved about my Sportster dialed to 11! Nimble handling, feels angry, looks great, naked enough that it's lighter, shirt ride height, and it absolutely begs you to be a hooligan on it!
Jeff Roller agreed
Nice review! Really love my 2019 114.
Could not ever said it better man fat bob rules
Thanks for describing my future (June) bike! 👍
Ex sport bike rider here. Bought a 2019 FB 114 went with stage 1 w/ VH pipes.. Best of both worlds! Very happy with my purchase!
sitting at home, with my Fat bob stowed away in the garage for the winter and drooling at videos with motorcycles :(
ride 365 whats the matter with you?
This is my favorite Harley
I kept wondering when you were going to realize the key fob is on the handlebars. Glad you made it back without losing them.
Great analysis and riding to show this bike at it's best. I own it and love it. Vance and Hines 2 into 1 Pro Pipe made it sound bad ass. Inverted forks and a tight rake make it nimble. I run it here in the Philippians mountains. Torque monster baby! My wife and I love it....
Great vid!!! Been on many sport bikes and my 18 fat bob is definitely the most sport bike feel for a cruiser.. it is the most fun bike I've owned just to ride on !!!:-)))
I have to wait 2 years until I turn 18 to ride this bike cause I live in Brasil! This is my dream motorcycle!
Great vid,i gonna test ride one of these soon....looks awesome!
Love the starting sound, like some badass heavy truck. Or WWII diesel submarine :)
"Oooops, There's a Corner Again." Lol love it!!!
Mine rocks! It does everything well, slipped on some RineHarts and sounds fantastic. ...... Nice review......Ride hard or stay home😎
Great biike, i love where the keysare on the front break
I am about to buy one! Great review! Subscribed!
Ronaldo Pereira nice. Where you getting it
Got mine in stiletto red.. been customizing it for 2 yrs now.. love it .. about to go cross country with it thus summer
what have you done to it so far
I love it. Great video.
Sir all that u said about the fatbob and other harleys is completely true sir, i am an aspiring motorcycle designer and harley is my personal favorite brand and i love people who like harleys , great job sir!!
Picked up an FXFBS after 22 years of sportbikes. He speaks the truth. Great work Infinit
Thanks
I have a 2017 breakout. I test rode one of these last year and told my friend “if I didn’t own a bike already I’d be talking numbers right now.”
Beautiful colour
Such a clean bike, imo one of the best HD bikes ever made! I got a S1000 R I can't bring myself to get rid of, but if i do it'll probably be this just to have something more practical.
Luv mine.. ! Changed the seat and did a stage one.. Mirrors had to change too for longer stem.. Lots of power..U can tell when cruising with a large group.. They shifting up and down to climb hills.. Not in a Fatbob 114.. Gonna add a windscreen for long trips.. Ride what u like.. and what fits u.. Have fun..That's what it's all about.. And yes I'm dieing by Friday togo riding..
Paolo D'Abarno nice. Post a pic of it I. The forums on www.theinfinitryda.com
I had the original fatbob(2009)...loved it! I took it on a 982mi one way trip,and it was beautiful! I wish they didn’t change the style,the original looked so much better..IMO
Eric Draven I think I like the new look. Looks innovative
Just bought this exact bike yesterday. 114, performance orange. It absolutely RIPS
Yeah. That bike is a blast
If I didn't need a bagger I'd buy one in a second. I've ridden for decades, literally, Harley Davidsons, sports bikes, (ZX14R was my last sport bike) but the Fat Bob seemed to handle better than anything. Oh nice video and review!
Thanks
i love mine every second of it.
Francisc Varga : me too
I live in Charlotte and I absolutely love this bike( I don’t ride yet) but I looked at one at the Concord Harley Davidson in that same orange and I have to have it!!!!
I subbed
We do classes at Independence. You should come there to get yours and get signed up for riding Academy.
The Infinit Ryda
Absolutely brother, my wife just told me today that I should sign up for the class
Want. Just wish they made one with the dash and rider modes of the new Sportster S.
I like the Fat Bob but it does not compare to a sports bike in any way shape or form. Even an MT-07 would show one a clean pair of heels in a straight line, throw some turns in there and it's a complete no contest. Wake up and smell the coffee and just love it for what it is. Funky, quirky and good fun.
Great job with this! I'm getting one real soon. Still debating on the color! Thanks a lot!
Mychael Pierce - you get one?
Thanks for another great review video 👍🏻
charlie ryan 👍🏼 it’s a fun bike too. Have you ridden one?
No not yet but I’m getting my 13 V Rod delivered tomorrow 🙏🏻 just sold my Ducati 848 EVO ....I loved the power and the way it looked but that riding position was killing me.
Fat Bob!! Yeaaaaaaahh baby
Best color for this bike!
Great bike, love it but still not enough to pull me from my Ducati Xdiavel S That is full of gadgets, Power launch,cornering ABS,TCS, 156Ps, bluetooth, Full colour display, riding modes, Pretty much full adjustability on the suspension, 40 degree lean angle. I love the sound of the Harleys but still very basic machines for the money being asked imo.
I heard that this is the most maneuverable Harley motorcycle. That’s what I like about it. Plus I love the headlight, exhaust and the deep roar and rumble. I am seriously considering buying the Fat Bob. I have a 2010 Honda Stateline right now that I am using for practice and to train. I am thinking of trading it in for the Fat Bob.
Pull the trigger. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
great clip
Is there any upgrades for 2020 model compared to 2018 models?
I have the wicked red and I do love riding it. Fun bike. H-D haters gonna hate but it really is an enjoyable ride
Drew Yager I wish I had one
I along with you recommend the motorcycle highly
Nice show
Man, i want one!
Me too
Love my 2019 114 with VH short shots!. It is indeed nimble AF
i have the same, i love it
Crusader General : We meet again! I’m like you.. Have a Fat Bob and still watch all the videos
@@Lucifer3001 thanks for stopping by bro. I love bikes. And I can't have just one :)) check out my channel
Crusader General : You got more than one? What other bikes do you own?
@@Lucifer3001 2019 zx14r..2019 vmax..2017 cbr1000rr. 2019 gsxs1000z .2014 valkyrie
Pick mine up on Friday ! So amped!
Nioce
The video had a very very very slow start but it turned out well thank you
I own one, and I love it. Do some upgrade and you will have awesome bike.
True
Good review.
Thanks. Check our the review playlist. Did you subscribe?
I'm looking to get another gsxr, but i think for my wife and I, ridding a fatbob might be more comfortable. For crusing around the lakes, etc, im torn on doing a leap from a gsxr to a fatbob.
You're thinking about an Indian FTR1200 (120hp) or Scout Bobber (100hp). Both can run an 11 second quarter mile at a lower cost. Stock. Let alone once you mod it.
The fat bob is very slow especially at 1700+cc. The 1700cc Vmax makes 200 horsepower.
This hunk of metal only makes 80hp. It looks cool but there are many other cruisers/naked comfortable bikes that will rip it limb from limb at even less cost. Fun and cool, but don't try fooling people into thinking its 5.8 0-60 is fast.
The best!
Who me? Why that you. Lol
I test rode this at a event. Started popping wheelies the moment I left. Sorry, I've been riding supermoto for too long lol
Lol
The great alternative to a Sport is a Naked, the alternative for the price of a Fatbob is a Super Naked. Why spend the money on a Fatbob when you can get a SuperDukeR, Tuono, StreetFighter, or a Z H2.
I dont hate the Fatbob, its actually one the better looking harleys but for the price point i find myself easily looking away if i were to spend money around that price point.
Im 5"7" 185lbs. I really like the appeal of this Bike. I am a new rider and Im thinking to get the Iron 883 or the Forty-Eight. I finished the MSF training course. But I like Fat Boy 114 so much. Im gonna test drive and test drive this at the dealership. IF I can feel the comfort and confidence I will buy one. Would you recommend this?
Get the bike you like more because if you don’t you’ll be trading it back in in a few months.
Traded my Triumph on one of these. Great alternative to a sport bike. Just wished the front end didn’t dive so hard under braking or well any time.
May need to upgrade suspension
I have a 2018, 114, the only criticism I have is the gear change, it makes my foot hurt on up changes. It has an edge that digs into my boot. Repetitive changes make my foot hurt. I will be looking into whether Harley has an alternative. Long distances aint a problem, but around town its really uncomfortable.
Might need adjusted
I bought a KTM Duke 890R this year, but I could see my self own this as a second bike.
114 vs 107 ?
114 and 107 no crazy performance differences. The 107 will take off a bit faster from low speed but the 114 will real it back in before you hit 80/100 kmph
Man I want one sooooo bad, only I'd need a big sissy bar & saddle bag racks, I took one out for a test ride & was blown away.
I need one in my life, only I don't want to have to sell a kidney!
Lol
I want this so bad🤤😍😍
Go get it. You’ll love it.
I have the FB114 and also a ZX14R and a CBR1000RR. I gotta disagree with you bro about this bike being like a sport bike. Its a great bike, but its more like a bruiser/hooligan bike. A lot of low end and not much in the high end. But the biggest difference is the RPM range, the FB maxes out at 5K (and also 110MPH) while any liter sport bike is 13000+ with 180MPH+. The riding experience is entirely different. But yes, the FB is sportier than most cruisers, although my VMAX1700 is sportier
Crusader General I can agree with that
Of course.
Orange and black?! 🤤🤤
Harley colors
C'mon man - if you're gonna sell this as a sportsbike rival, get it out on dem twisties and show it!
(FWIW - you're right; it kinda is and I love mine to bits!)
Lol. It wasn’t mine. Belonged to the dealership. I had limits.
Any one sees that key fob about to fly away?
Izbiten Feljen yeah lol I was looking to see if anyone noticed
So. For people that wanna ride just as fast as is legal... Ah. Its an alternative to any random nakedbike or tourer that still touchdowns early(honda cb1000f) is what you wanted to say.
2:57 That's because you've never ridden a Xdiavel my friend. Talk about cruiser being a sport bike! I am actually trying to choose between the XDiavel and the Fat Bob right now. Ugh, decisions, decisions...
SuburbanHobbyist I want to ride one
Just something about a big vtwin......makes no sense but can't be denied 🤣
Need to go over and show close-up, the features of the Bike...not just the riding of it...otherwise a good video.
Dinoxt12 I had a review of the 2019 that goes over specs. I think I went over specs. I make a video in the near future with the motorcycle specialists going over the specs
Dinoxt12 here is the 2019. Goes over a little of the specs but might not be as great of a video as this. czcams.com/video/-WT-fq89TkQ/video.html
I think the Lowrider S should be in the conversation with the Fat Bob or the FXDR.
I agree
Were you trying to loose the FOB? 🤔
Why you say that?
@@theinfinitryda Joking, man. Relax. When you go for the ride, it is suspended on the brake handle.
Lol. Or yeah. Dealership things. Hahahaha
You sound exactly like cyclecruza you have the same voice different skin
Lol. We both from Cleveland.
I would say Ryda sounds more intelligent and articulate. not saying that CC isn't :)
$19,000 and they still only give you halogen turn signals 🤦♂️
how would this do for longer trips?
Marvin's Reviews ETC. it would be ok. The seat is comfortable but the riding position is a little bit more aggressive
The Infinit Ryda I’ll have to go sit on one. Would suck to have regrets on such an expensive item, I love this bike though
Marvin's Reviews ETC. are you in Charlotte?
The Infinit Ryda I’m in New York
Just did 840 miles in 3 days riding the Adirondacks....good to go!
FUGGIN AD right as he hit the “mini twisties” what a crock of shit lol.
Nice review .
I can’t get approved to buy this one. I’m about to buy a Yamaha lol
Phablo Phablo have you been to the dealership
The Infinit Ryda not yours. I applied online several HD dealers.
Pipes
The title of the video is wrong. It's not a Fat Boy... Thank you for the review...
Felipe Araujo oh thanks. Spell check did that crap. 🤔😂
Forward controls make it very non-sports bike.
You’ll want to watch my review coming out in two weeks
I'm sorry it's still a Harley. The world's best motorcycle built by the world's worst T-Shirt Company
Beautiful bike, but the cruiser bike that will out perform this HD and more sportbike like .Starting with the M109r, V-max, V-rod, Ducati Diavel, Triumph rocket III. I. My opinion.. 🙂 But great video.
You mention these muscle bikes and each one has got its own character. But did you consider the handling? Not saying ones clearly better over the other. But overall, fatbob is really fun to ride. Definitely expensive if it's gonna be your around town bike. But hey if you got the money then you can't go wrong in my opinion
M109r is slow and outdated ugly cruiser, fat-bob will smoke it
vmax has inline 4 sport bike engine ...i won't compare
v-rod they should a kept it
diavel is more a naked bike than a cruiser, uncomfortable non cruiser riding position.
rocket 3 will smoke all of them......lol
@@franciscvarga1212 Personal opinion are always welcome.. lol the fat bob is just a fat bob and that's my opinion.. lol will never be alternative to a sportsbike
Joel Suarez it’s an alternative if you coming off the sport bike scenery and switching over to the cruiser scenery like I did a former GSXR1000 rider . Great torque and speed, handling, leaning, great brakes and bad ass zombie apocalypse mad max look , I love mine and the comfort is awesome
@@franciscvarga1212 I ride many bikes cruisers, Sport touring, sportbikes. Nothing equals to a supersport bike your comparison may only be to low end naked street bike the v-twin power plant are only torque monster, they really have no performance maybe to a guy that never ridden nothing but a Harley lol!
No Brembo Brakes, No Ohlins Suspension, and definitely no HorsePower!!! Their is a reason HD sales are falling faster than a lead 🍎
got brembo brakes, Showa suspension almost good as ohlins, got more torque than any crotch rockets and i don't think you wanna go 200 mph on this bike ,you will be blown off before you reach that speed.
I believe brembo makes the brakes. The suspension is good but at the moment mine is in the shop getting ohlins.
Are you HIGH ? No way in hell this bike is an alternative to a sport-bike, You want amazing - Ride a Honda CBR-1000RR-SP2, ask 93 what he rides!!
i think he meant coming off a sportbike and get on the cruiser seggment, like i did former GSXR1000 rider.
What did you NOT understand about "alternative"? He's not talking about "another sport bike" but, well, an alternative. I'll say his reasoning is pretty solid. It's not a sportbike, it may be something acceptable for someone thinking of switching a sport to some fun cruiser. And I am in that place actually, just HD (especially new) is out of my budget. But if it was in, I'd definitely give it a try.
That CBR lacks torque and is not comfortable
Wow!!! I couldn’t believe how well you handled all of that 83hp !!!! What a joke!! Stupidly overpriced also!!, FXDR is garbage also
Say what 83 HP and supposed to smoke the M109r pushing 127HP lol!
The bike is ultra nimble around traffic and cruises nice... kinda like a street fighter but only in a cruiser vibe.
Torque much better than horsepower for street enjoyment
Fat bob is just UGLY, is this supposed to be Harley's rendition of a bobber?? if so, i think they should look at the Triumph Bonneville Bobber or the Indian Scout Bobber, but the Harley Fat Bob is nothing but FUGLY. Is this supposed to lure people away from a spot bike? wow, Harley is so lost, like hell if i would pay $25k for a FUGLY bike that is lost in a design goal somewhere between a Bobber and a sport bike. Why not get the Triumph Bobber/Indian Bibber for $12,000 and get a 600 sport bike for $12,000 and have the best of both worlds rather than this ugly garbage for the same price with less power and design taste.
