Harley-davidson Dyna Fat Bob
The Harley-davidson Dyna Fat Bob has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 68 hp and weighs 305 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob (FXDF) se presentó en 2008 como parte de la familia Dyna, con una configuración distintiva de dos faros y un guardabarros delantero grueso que le daban una estética cruda y agresiva inspirada en el bobber. Rápidamente se hizo popular entre los ciclistas que buscaban un aspecto más musculoso y sencillo en comparación con otros modelos Dyna, y recibió la mejora del motor Milwaukee-Eight con doble refrigeración cuando Harley hizo la transición: la línea Softail absorbió la gama Dyna en 2018. Posteriormente, el nombre Fat Bob se incorporó a la gama Softail a partir de 2018, con un chasis completamente rediseñado y un estilo actualizado.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Twin Cam
The Twin Cam 96/103 engines in 2008-2017 Fat Bobs are known for cam chain tensioner wear — a common and costly issue if ignored. Always verify this has been inspected or upgraded before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Fat Bob holds its value exceptionally well compared to other cruisers, often retaining 70-80% of its value after 3 years. Its aggressive dual-headlight styling keeps demand consistently high in the used market.
Milwaukee-Eight Upgrade
2018+ Fat Bobs switched to the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, a significantly more reliable and smoother platform with improved oil cooling and reduced vibration. Buyers should strongly prioritize this generation over earlier models.

"Un moretón de aspecto malvado que, de hecho, se maneja mejor de lo esperado."
La Fat Bob es el chasis Dyna que hace su mejor trabajo: la Twin Cam 96 montada en goma tira con fuerza desde las 2500 rpm y el neumático delantero ancho de 180 secciones le da a toda la moto una sensación de fuerza y determinación que el público de Softail nunca siente. He recorrido 500 millas en el mío y el asiento bajo de 686 mm es realmente cómodo para un ciclista de estatura media, aunque los faros dobles son más una declaración estética que la iluminación nocturna real: son vergonzosamente tenues según los estándares modernos. El motor oscurecido y la postura cruda de las bobber envejecen sorprendentemente bien, pero con 302 kg mojados se siente cada kilo en maniobras lentas en los estacionamientos y la suspensión original está ajustada para alguien que no pesa nada y no choca contra baches. La vibración que se produce en las estriberas por encima de los 100 km/h es real y constante, y o bien pasa a formar parte del encanto o te vuelve loco poco a poco, según tu personalidad.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"Raw, honest American muscle that rewards careful used-buying diligence."
$7,500-$14,000 usedThe Fat Bob is one of Dyna's most characterful machines — that wide 21-inch front wheel and dual headlights give it a genuinely menacing street presence that ages well. The Twin Cam 96 or 103 engine is bulletproof if it's been maintained, and most Fat Bobs have seen decent miles without drama. Check the cam chain tensioners on pre-2006 bikes though — that's the one known Achilles heel that can turn into an expensive rebuild if ignored. Riding position is aggressive for a Harley, feet forward but not stupidly so, and the thing actually handles reasonably well for something this heavy. Don't expect sporting dynamics, but it won't embarrass you on twisty roads either. Vibration through the pegs is real above 70mph — that's not a fault, that's a Dyna. Budget for new tires almost immediately on anything used, and inspect the rear isolator mounts religiously. They crack silently and the handling goes sideways fast.
