Here are the pro-cons of my test ride of the new Fat Bob
![Image]()
Pro's
I gotta say, love the dual headlights-reminds me of the Triumphs
Six speed trans shifted and engaged well
Throttle response was smooth and predictable
Looks cool for a Harley
It was super fun in the twisties!!. Where ever you wanted to throw the bike-it went. The front dual discs stopped very well with good feedback.
ALmost no vibration in the seat or in the bars
Cons
In its stock form- you cannot hear the exhaust AT ALL
It has no tach, without paying attention you can forget what gear your in,since you cannot here the exhaust.
Rear brake was only just ok
The pegs would vibrate at a pretty good clip- which I thought was wierd
The motor even though super smooth could use some more power.
I enjoyed riding this bike. It reacted to my movements quite nimbly. The steering felt good, the front brakes worked well, and I liked the looks of as well. I could see myself owning one-but with some engine work and a loud exhaust!!
