Harley-davidson Softail Fat Boy 114

The Harley-davidson Softail Fat Boy 114 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; note: electronically limited in some markets), produces 93 hp and weighs 317 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

O Fat Boy foi lançado em 1990 e rapidamente se tornou um dos modelos mais icônicos da Harley-Davidson, famoso no filme Terminator 2, de 1991. A variante de motor Milwaukee-Eight 114 de 114 polegadas cúbicas (1.868 cc) foi introduzida em 2018 como parte de uma significativa reformulação da plataforma Softail, oferecendo mais potência e melhor manuseio em relação às gerações anteriores. Ele continua sendo um dos cruzeiros mais vendidos da Harley, conhecido por suas rodas de disco fundido sólido exclusivas e seu estilo ousado e musculoso.

O que os compradores devem saber

🔧

Milwaukee-Eight Reliability

The 114 cubic inch Milwaukee-Eight engine is widely regarded as one of Harley's most reliable modern powerplants, running cooler and smoother than its predecessors. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles are critical to preventing premature cam chain tensioner wear.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Fat Boy 114 consistently holds resale value better than most cruisers, typically retaining 70-80% of its value after two years due to strong brand loyalty and timeless styling. Limited color editions and low-mileage examples command a noticeable premium on the used market.

⚙️

Watch the Primary Chain

A known issue on early Milwaukee-Eight models is primary chain tensioner wear, which can produce a rattling noise on cold starts — inspect service records for this repair before buying. It's a relatively affordable fix but becomes costly if ignored long-term.

"A genuinely capable, characterful cruiser that justifies its premium used price."

$14,000-$20,000 used

The Fat Boy 114 is genuinely one of Harley's better modern efforts. That Milwaukee-Eight 114 cubic inch motor pulls hard from basically any gear, any speed — it's the real deal for a big cruiser. Fit and finish improved dramatically over older Softails, and the hidden rear suspension actually works better than you'd expect. Look for 2018-onwards if you can; the platform was largely sorted by then. Watch for oil leaks around the primary cover, check the rear brake pads (owners neglect them constantly), and make sure the stage tune hasn't been botched by a ham-fisted dealer. Used prices are still holding firm because demand stayed strong, but you can negotiate if the bike has been heavily customized — those aftermarket parts rarely add real value. Expect 10,000-20,000 mile examples to be perfectly fine; these motors are genuinely durable when serviced properly. Budget for tires soon after buying, the stock Michelin Commanders wear surprisingly fast under that 700-pound bulk.
