Harley-davidson Fat Bob

The Harley-davidson Fat Bob has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated, note: varies by year and engine variant), produces 93 hp and weighs 303 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

Harley-Davidson Fat Bob, 2008 yılında Dyna ailesinin bir parçası olarak tanıtıldı ve farklı bir çift far kurulumu ve onu diğer Harley modellerinden ayıran ham, kaslı bir sokak dövüşçüsü estetiğine sahip. 2018'de Milwaukee-Eight 107 motoruyla Softail platformuna geçerek daha sert bir çerçeve ve modern süspansiyon elde ederek önemli bir yeniden tasarıma uğradı. Fat Bob, agresif, kararmış stili ve Harley kruvazörleri arasında benzersiz bir duruş sağlayan geniş ön lastiği ile dikkat çekiyor.

Strong Resale Value

The Fat Bob consistently holds 70-80% of its value after 3 years, outperforming most cruiser competitors. Its distinctive dual-headlight styling keeps demand high in the used market.

⚠️

Watch the Cam Chain

2007-2016 Twin Cam models are known for cam chain tensioner wear, which can become costly if ignored. Always verify service history and listen for ticking at startup before buying used.

🔧

Milwaukee-Eight Reliability

2018+ models with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 or 114 engine are significantly more reliable, running cooler and requiring less frequent maintenance than older Twin Cam engines. This generation is the recommended buy.

"The Fat Bob rewards riders who want character over compromise."

$12,000-$18,500 used

The Fat Bob is Harley's most genuinely interesting bike in years — aggressive stance, fat front tire, and that Milwaukee-Eight thumping away underneath you. The 114ci version is the one to hunt down used; the 107 feels a touch breathless above 70mph on highway runs. What you're actually buying is surprising handling for something this wide and heavy. It steers with real intent, not the lazy wallowing you expect from a cruiser this size. Buying used, check the front forks obsessively — owners who've lowered them for aesthetic reasons often compromise the geometry badly. Also inspect for aftermarket exhaust work. Half these bikes have had stage one tunes and slip-ons which is fine, but botched tune jobs cause fueling issues that'll haunt you. Pre-2020 models had some cam tensioner concerns worth investigating, so pull service records or walk away. Realistically, a clean 2018-2022 Fat Bob with reasonable miles is a genuinely usable daily rider with enough character to keep experienced riders engaged. It's not pretending to be something it isn't.
