Ride It Again For The First Time by , on April 22, 2019, 12:30 Heavily bobbed and blacked-out, the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob comes with a choice of engine: the 107-inch Milwaukee-Eight or the 114-inch version. These grunty powerplants, along with a (relatively) sporty new suspension system from the redesign in 2018 give the Fat Bob an aggressive bent that is meant to appeal to a younger generation of rider. The Fat Bob saw a complete do-over in 2018, so if you rode it before and weren’t impressed, know that you haven’t ridden this Fat Bob. Year: 2018- 2019 Make: Model: Model: Engine: Milwaukee-Eight 107 Displacement: 107 cubic inches Top Speed: 110 mph (Est.) Price: 17049 Price: Maximum lean angles have increased this year so it will lean further than most cruiser riders are willing to go. Only a true fiery-eyed pegdragger is likely to run into clearance issues in the sweeps. Harley-Davidson’s Fat Bob is one of only a few Dyna models that made the crossover into the all-new-in-2018 Softail lineup. Its popularity as an FXD played heavily into that decision, and it looks like the factory is doubling down on more of the same modern-custom/bobber vibe that endeared it to its fans. Will it be enough? Time will tell, and with the overall decline of motorcycling, models that grab the Millennials’ attention may help prop up the MoCo until the next gen comes of age or, at least, until the pendulum swings back the other way. Obviously, the move from the FXD frame to the FXST brings with it a host of changes. As with the other Softails, there is a certain amount of age-ambiguity with the Fat Bob’s lines by virtue of its faux-hardtail frame that cuts an entirely different figure altogether. While the previous gen had a definite ’60s to ’70s vibe to it, the lines of the new gen could hail back as far as 1949, or as recently as 1984 when the original Softail was launched. Harley reached into custom territory yet again, but this time, it was going for an entirely modern look rather than shooting for the custom culture of yesteryear as it did with the Softail Slim, for instance. The fenders are cut back to the bone and the absolute limits of functionality, with the Yamaka-size front fender and rear fender that just barely catches the struts for an unimpeded view of the rear hoop. A tapered p-pad joins the solo saddle for two-up capability, at least on paper. Yeah, it looks cool, but you won’t want to put anyone on it that you care about very much. The peculiar twin-headlight setup was replaced by a modern interpretation of the classic headlight nacelle that uses a trapezoid-shaped opening to house a set of powerful LED headlights. Blackout treatment makes it onto this newfangled nacelle that all but disappears against the blackdrop of the risers, bar, mirrors, tripletree and inverted fork stanchions. When the factory shoehorned the Mil-8 engine into the frame, it dropped the much-maligned “ham-can” air cleaner in favor of a smaller round breather that shares the blackout treatment and chrome trim with the engine for a nice continuity of design that also gives your right leg a little break. Sportster and old-school Big-Twin riders, you know what I’m talking about. An upswept exhaust system comes with full-length heat shielding with a kick at the muffler end that lends the Fat Bob a certain air of performance even if the forward controls are actually the limiting factor to cornering. That said, maximum lean angles have increased this year with 31 degrees of lean to the right, and 32 to the left, so it will lean further than most cruiser riders are willing to go. Only a true fiery-eyed pegdragger is likely to run into clearance issues in the sweeps on this thing. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Chassis Along with the newfound agility, you can still count on a certain amount of stability with decent tracking. On the Fat Bob, tubular-steel members make up the all-new Softail frame just as they always have. In the first update since Y2K and largest change since its 1984 release, the factory chopped out 50-percent of the frame members while managing to increase stiffness and handling. That last is a pretty big deal since Softails had a poor reputation for handling and cornering performance, so anything that adds some fun and comfort is a good thing. The steering head kicks the forks out to 28 degrees for a bit of rake, and inches of trail, so along with the newfound agility you can still count on a certain amount of stability with decent tracking. Up front, inverted forks further bolster the sporty looks of the bike while providing greater strength and better damping profiles, but unfortunately come sans adjustment so they are almost as vanilla as ever. The rear monoshock rides under the seat with a hand-adjustable preload feature that allows for easier adjustments than we had back in the day with the old under-tranny shocks that forced you to get down and wallow around with a spanner every time you had to adjust for changing cargo and passenger weight. Blackout rims mount the 16-inch hoops with a fat 150/80 up front and 180/70 out back, and though I think laced rims might look a bit better, it probably wouldn’t matter given that the dual front brake discs all but completely occlude the spokes. ABS is optional on the base model but standard equipment on the 114, and Harley left its linked-brakes business where it belongs: on the shelf. Unladen seat height rides at 28-inches high; a skosh tall for a Softail, but still lower than most cruiser imports. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Drivetrain The Milwaukee-Eight provides the strongest roll-on in both fifth and sixth gear, so you can make passes with more authority than ever. I’m told that black is very slimming, and that seems to be true with the blackout Mil-8 engines that seem to blend into the background, case-in-point on the Fat Bob. Don’t be fooled; these engines are big enough to have smaller engines in orbit around them. I mean, they’re a real chunk, but they’d have to be to contain that displacement, yeah? The 107 cubic-inch version runs a 100 mm bore and 111 mm stroke while the 114 has a 102 mm bore and mm stroke with a 10-to-1 and compression ratio, respectively. Electronic fuel injection delivers the dino-juice, but we still have nothing in the way of TC or variable power delivery and that’s getting harder to forgive as we see relatively inexpensive imports coming in with all that and more. Even Indian Motorcycle under the Polaris umbrella, is bringing in rider modes, so it’s just a matter of time. Always torquey, the Mil-8 plants take H-D engines to a new level with 107 pound-feet of torque from the 107 and 118 pounds from the 114. Not only does this give you the stump-pulling power you expect, but it also provides the strongest roll-on in both fifth and sixth gear, so you can make passes with more authority than ever. The six-speed transmixxer crunches the ratios and sends power to the rear wheel via a quiet belt drive that is not only tough (I’ve yet to break one, personally) but easy to maintain. A balancer in the engine helps attenuate much of the engine vibration. It shakes a bit at idle (as it should) but as soon as you crack the throttle it smooths right out. Perhaps too much? Maybe, but you’ll get used to it. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Pricing MSRP starts at $17k for the base model in basic black with new colorways available for 2019. You can score a 2019 Fat Bob 107 in Vivid Black for $17,049 or go for the color option for $17,449 and ABS for another $795. The 114 understandably fetches a premium with a $18,849 sticker on the basic black and $19,249 tag on the color option. ABS is standard on the 114, and the security system is standard equipment across the board. West Coast brothers and sisters, alas, you can look forward to buying a special $200 emissions package just for you. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Competitors The competition will certainly be appealing to shoppers with no H-D-brand loyalty as yet. Gotta say, it was tough to find something to go head-to-head with Harley’s new Dyna-turned-Softail. I see folks throwing the Ducati XDiavel around a lot, but I ain’t seein’ it unless you count the fact that they’re both cruisers with forward controls. Sorry folks, but the XDiavel is just an Italian crotch rocket with the footpegs in the wrong place, and people riding look like they’re trying to turn Power Ranger into Easy Rider. Not only does it not work, it isn’t likely to appeal to someone who is looking hard at a Fat Bob. It falls short on power at only 93 pounds o’ grunt though the electronics are far and away superior to what Harley brings to the table, suspension, too. Next, I looked at the Star Raider from Yamaha. The looks are similar in that both embrace the custom culture though the Raider goes for the raked-and-stretched look opposed to the Fat Bob’s chopped-and-bobbed build. The power figures show that Yamaha has something going on over there; namely a claimed 123 pound-foot output that shames H-D’s new 107 and 114 Mil-8. Yamaha compounds the pain with a $15,199 ticket that will certainly be appealing to shoppers with no MoCo loyalty as yet, and that may be enough of a difference to buy some business away from Harley. He Said “If I’m honest, I’ll admit that I didn’t like the FXD version, and I’m only marginally more in favor of the new version. Don’t get me wrong; chopped and bobbed is great, but I feel it’s an artistic expression that should be done in a garage with sweat and love (not necessarily in that order) not something you roll off the showroom floor. Yeah, I know the folks nowadays lack the skills, tools and experience (for the most part) to do it themselves, but I kinda feel like if you want to buy one of these, just go ahead and get the dealership to sew the patches on your vest, too.” She Said My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “The Fat Bob is the performance-driven model in the Softail lineup from the 2018 redesign. Yeah, it has a p-pad, but it isn’t comfortable, so consider this a solo ride. I like the headlamp, which is unique to the Fat Bob from last year. It’s more of a Mad Max look than the other Softails. The forward controls on the Fat Bob have been moved back a little this year and so the riding position is much more comfortable for shorter riders than on previous model years. I mention what is and isn’t comfortable, but honestly, the seat is more sportbike-like in its hardness, so don’t consider this a long-distance ride.” Harley-Davidson Fat Bob SpecificationsFurther Reading Ducati XDiavel See our review of the Ducati XDiavel.

And a very big one at that! Designed to appeal to European riders who view a bike’s ability to go around corners with equal importance to straight line cruising, the Fat Bob is the sportiest model in the firm’s petrol-powered range and yet still has more than a hint of the cruiser about it with its 16-inch wheels shod in fat balloon tyres. Related: Best cruiser motorbikes Related: Best base bikes for custom projects Long, low and imposing, the latest Fat Bob arrived in 2018 and sits in the Softail family, which was thoroughly updated that year through a new chassis (the Softail and Dyna families were combined) and the new Milwaukee-Eight motor (in two capacities, 107 and 114) to coincide with Harley’s 115th Anniversary. Not one of Harley’s biggest selling models, the Fat Bob’s Marmite styling sees it generally owned by enthusiasts and while its fairly hefty weight and extensive use of metal parts for the running gear hints at a high level of build quality, owners are a little underwhelmed on this front and it seems as if a few corners have been cut, which is a shame on a bike that is certainly at the premium end of the price scale. As with all things Harley, there is a huge network out there if you need to get any extra info and the best thing to do is go to your local Harley dealership and chat to members of HOG, the Harley Owners Group. If you are uncertain about the bike itself, Harley are very proactive when it comes to test rides (they can be booked via the firm’s website) so as long as you have a full licence, you should be able to borrow one. And if a quick blast isn’t enough, many dealerships allow you to hire a bike for an extended period of time (a weekend or even a week) and often if you buy the bike (if it is new) they will take the cost of hire into account and reduce the price a bit or even wave the hire costs. Ride quality & brakes Next up: Engine 3 out of 5 (3/5) The Softail family contains everything from the Breakout to the Heritage and as such Harley have made a 'platform' tubular steel double cradle chassis that can be altered with minimal effort through different head angles or a choice of swingarms to suit the intended bike’s role in life. All-new for 2018, the Softail range has a 'hardtail' look of a solid back end but actually contains a monoshock under the seat area (previous generations had twin shocks under the transmission). As well as being a claimed 65% stiffer than before, the new chassis also uses the engine as a stressed member and the swingarm is stiffer. Why is this important? Because it allows the Fat Bob to actually handle fairly well. Unlike most Harley models, the sporty nature of the Bob sees it come with Showa inverted forks with dual bending valve technology, but sadly no adjustment which is a shame as they are a little crude in their damping. Far from a lightweight bike, the Bob’s 296kg weight and fat 16-inch wheels is initially a bit daunting as it does give the bike a strange feeling and a slight reluctance to turn into bends, however once you get used to muscling it about you can actually build up a bit of pace and although limited by ground clearance, bends are certainly not something to be feared. This is a bike that is happy on a twisty road and is far more than just a straight-line cruiser. Owners report the OE Harley-branded Dunlop tyres are fairly poor in their performance in the wet and dry, so updating them for European-spec alternatives is right at the top of the to-do list, but the brakes have ABS as standard and are a twin-disc four-piston per caliper set-up, which is enough to haul-up the heavy Bob. Engine Next up: Reliability 4 out of 5 (4/5) When it was launched the Fat Bob was sold in two formats - 107 and 114 – which refer to the Milwaukee-Eight engine’s size in inches (1745cc or 1868cc if you don’t speak imperial) however nowadays only the bigger 114 is available. All-new in 2017, the Milwaukee-Eight motor is different to the one used in the touring models where it debuted as its rigid-mounting instead of rubber and sees the Softail models run two, not one, balancer shafts to keep the vibrations down. A fabulous motor that sounds and feels exactly like a Harley should, the Milwaukee-Eight marked a huge step forward over the old Twin Cam motor and as well as better reliability, it is more powerful and has a (marginally) slicker gearbox. We say marginally because there is still a hefty clunk when you select a cog. On the go the four-valve air-cooled motor (hence its name, as it has a total of eight valves) is a real beauty with bags of torque delivering lots of instant punch. Although Harley dislike claiming power figures, it makes 86bhp with of torque in 107 guise and 94bhp and in 114, so there isn’t too much of a difference if you opt for the lower capacity model. The one thing it is missing, however, is any form of traction control and given all that grunt and the poor OE tyres, on a wet road you do need to exercise a degree of caution over white lines or on slippery surfaces. Reliability & build quality Next up: Value 3 out of 5 (3/5) A lot of Harley owners tend to cherish their bikes and if they are cleaned regularly, not ridden much in the wet and generally cared for the build quality seems acceptable. However should you get a bit behind or let things slip the Fat Bob starts to look very second hand very quickly, which is a real shame on a bike that costs so much. MCN owners' reviews report that the paint finish is very poor indeed with paint rubbing off on areas where your knees touch and also the engine shedding its finish. Not only that, corrosion on exposed metal components seems rife if the bike hasn’t been treated to a lot of anti-corrosion spray. One owner has even has the clocks misting up and the fuel cap’s lock fail. When you talk to Harley dealers they say a big problem is owners cleaning their bikes and then putting them away wet, which allows the water to pool and corrosion sets in, however a slightly low level of build quality is also certainly to blame. In terms of the motor the Milwaukee-Eight is very solid and not that expensive to get serviced with annual costs of roughly £300. Always give the belt and sprockets a good check when buying any used Harley as if a stone gets in there it can damage the belt and swapping one is a big bill as it requires removing the swingarm due to the fact there is obviously no soft link in a belt! Value vs rivals Next up: Equipment 3 out of 5 (3/5) Buying a Fat Bob is not a cheap proposition and a new 114 will set you back in the region of £17,000, however they do tend to hold their value fairly well with year old examples costing around £15,000. The 107 option costs roughly £13,500 as it is less desirable however not that many were sold as most owners opted for the 114 motor. As with all Harley models, the price tag is very much dependent on condition, mileage and extras and as the Bob is such a new model, nearly every one is sold through the dealer network rather than private sales, which boost the price tag. Official Harley extras also up the price however unlike some Harley models, very few Fat Bobs get accessorised that heavily aside from the usual exhausts and air filter. Insurance isn’t too bad and with roughly 40mpg fairly easily achieved, the Bob isn’t that thirsty on the petrol either. The problem with the Bob is when you look at it in terms of its value – is it really worth paying £17,000 for an air-cooled bike that lacks most modern electronic assists? That’s a decision only a serious buyer can make and when you consider a Ducati Monster 1200 S is £15,095, an Indian FTR R Carbon £15,595 or even a Ducati XDiavel £16,995 it seems very steep for what it is once you ignore the name on the tank. Equipment 3 out of 5 (3/5) There is no denying the Bob is lacking in terms of its equipment. There is no traction control, only basic ABS, no power modes, no quickshifter, no connectivity, little adjustment in its suspension, the list goes on and on. Then again, this is an air-cooled Harley and they do tend to be quite basic in terms of their spec. Owners can up the ante through the H-D parts and accessories catalogue, but most simply opt for a set of loud pipes and a free-flowing air filter, which to be fair makes a huge difference to the bike’s sound levels and also releases a welcome bit of extra mid-range. When it comes to tyres, most known brands make a hoop for the Bob and you have the choice of the likes of the Michelin Scorcher, Metzeler Cruisetec, Avon Cobra Chrome or even a non-Harley branded Dunlop D427, which are the OE fitment but better in terms of grip when made in Europe.

I took a test ride and ended up purchasing one. I've currently covered over 21000 miles and it's been brilliant. Certainly not what people think, 3500rpm 100mph running it in.

The weight and basic suspension makes bend swinging a bit of a challenge, my other bike's a ZX9R, but also fun. The pillion seat's a supermodel only width so I bought a real-world width touring seat, at around £350 Harley accessories aren't cheap but are decent quality to be fair. The speedo/rev counter/info readout on the tank is a pain. Hopless for reading on the move and tankbags are not an option. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 It's a big heavy bike and ride it as such and it can be fun. The front brake is good enough with decent feel, but you need to give it a handful to stop in a hurry. Rear brake is a bit wooden though. OE Dunlop tyres are utterly lethal in the wet and shouldn't be on the bike. Change them! I'm six foot three and long legged and I'm ok for a tank of petrol, around 120 miles, before needing a break. No worse than any other bike for my skinny backside! Pillion comfort with the wider seat is ok too. Longest ride I've done is 250 miles on a mix of A and twisty B roads. I've got a HD screen on mine, which I'd recommend. Engine 4 out of 5 Engine is good. Plenty of pulling power for heavy bike and 15 stone rider. Luggage or pillion isn't a problem either. If you want a missile look elsewhere though, or be up for spending up to around four grand on performance mods. Reliability & build quality 3 out of 5 I clean it with Muc-off after every ride and garage it, and it's off the road over winter but still some of the engine fasteners have corroded. Why they have some in stainless and some in cheap alloy crap I don't know. Speedo mists up, same problem as my previous HD, a 2000 year Dyna Lowrider. The paint on the tank is crap, so if you buy one make sure to get some Turtlewax scratch removal polish. Value vs rivals 3 out of 5 Usual expensive HD hourly rate. At Edinburgh HD you're well looked after though. Equipment 3 out of 5 ABS, that's about it for standard kit, although there is a usb socket and a lead for a battery maintainer, which you need as the standard alarm is a real drain. The HD seat £350 and screen £370 I've fitted are premium priced but are good quality to be fair. As already mentioned the OE tyres are extermely bad in the wet. I take my other bike out if there's a hint of rain for that reason. Next service I'll be getting Metzeler Cruisetecs fitted. I had those on my last HD and they were superb. Buying experience: Bought at a year old from Edinburgh HD at advertised price of £14k with around 1,200 miles on it. No chance of a haggle as they'd another three in stock which all sold within a week and weren't getting any new ones for six months. The sales and service staff are great, as is the waiting area and coffee, although you're paying for being well looked after. 4 out of 5 First Harley. 20 April 2022 by Steve Year: 2019 Annual servicing cost: £350 Best feature is its a bike of substance. You feel like you're riding special. Worst feature is Harleys build quality. Still no where near Triumph or jap and German standards. Ride quality & brakes 3 out of 5 Stock tyres are shocking. Change them as soon as you can, changes the bike massively and its a joy to ride after. Go for the 200 rear as well as it fits straight on. Engine 4 out of 5 Very torque and fast enough. Add a nose fairing helps deflect the wind a bit. Reliability & build quality 3 out of 5 Paint came off mirror within a week. Indicator lense just fell off.

The engine on this is addictive, low down grunt making it superb for squirting out of corners. Amazingly, for a Harley, this thing goes round corners well and shock horror ! The brakes work and it doesn't vibrate. If you want a cruiser bruiser with V twin cred this is the bike for you. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 For a Harley this is superb, it is vastly improved by ditching the original Teflon Dunlop tyres and fitting something that actually sticks! Engine 5 out of 5 Nice and grunty, sounds superb with a set of cans and a Vance and Hines FP3 sorts out all the issues. Reliability & build quality 3 out of 5 The downside with this bike is the paint. I have made plastic models with better quality of paint than this. It has Lancia quality finish, definitely bio degradable! Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 Service costs depends on mileage. I like to use my bikes so it does soon add up. It is not bad on petrol hitting high 40's if you don't drive it like you stole it. Equipment 3 out of 5 ABS...............that it! 4 out of 5 pre-facelift was awesome for tank and big bike feel that was lost on newer model24 April 2020 by Garry Horne Year: 2018 Annual servicing cost: £40,000 old version is fantastic Ride quality & brakes 3 out of 5 takes a while to embed in but strong performance Engine 3 out of 5 lazy and lumpy :) Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 no issues after 2 years Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 awesome servicing at reading Equipment 3 out of 5 Clearer dispalys would be good Buying experience: amazing 5 out of 5 Early days for me but delighted a Harley that can corner with stability21 June 2019 by Nigel Clifford Year: 2019 Best Harley I’ve owned. No more peg scraping and although no sports bike rolls into corners and bends with ease. Had to throw the rattling gas cap and buy another immediately. 16k and a two bob cap ? Can’t see out of mirrors. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Early days no issues as yet. Rides nice and smooth with no vibration. Front a little soft. Engine 5 out of 5 Great performance and torque. Takes a while to get the hang of which gear when slow cornering. I found first a little harsh and better to keep it in second and slip the clutch slightly otherwise your hands are removed from the bars. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Value vs rivals 5 out of 5 Equipment 5 out of 5 Great no keys and better view of cluster Buying experience: Brought from Riders Bristol and didn’t leave the arm chair. Great service. 2 out of 5 Poor quality ultimately lets it May 2019 by Den Crane Version: 114 Year: 2018 Annual servicing cost: £300 Out of the box it's a lovely bike to ride. A massive step in the right direction for Harley Davidson. Unfortunately after nearly 1 years ownership and 3000 dry miles the poor build quality is starting to show. Based on my ownership experience over the last 12 months I wouldn't recommend any Harley-Davidson to anyone. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Surprisingly usable motorcycle. Not for two up touring but pillion seat OK for my daughter on short trips. All day comfy ride below motorway speeds so best suited for A/B road cruising. The bike handles surprisingly well for it's size and the suspension is pretty good. Only adjustable for preload at the rear and at 80kg I need the shock wound right out or it's too harsh. The brakes are excellent. Engine 3 out of 5 It's a Harley and a unique experience. Cruising along a favourite road on a sunny day and it makes a lot of sense. Try and push on and you'll soon find it's limitations. Reliability & build quality 2 out of 5 How long have you got? Battery drain overnight. Faulty fuel cap. Faulty preload adjuster. Condensation in clock. Wonky handlebar and clock. Thin paint easily scratched on both matt and lacquered finishes. Paint rubbing off. Corrosion issues and paint flaking off all over the bike Forks, regulator, indicators, bolts and fixings, etc. I'm too scared to look underneath now. Some issues fixed but most blamed on "poor maintenance and environmental issues." Value vs rivals 2 out of 5 Considering the bike cost over £16k I expect better so it's overpriced. Most H-D dealerships are around £100ph now. £300 for the annual oil change. Parts are ludicrously expensive. However, the engines are basic so If you can service it yourself or know a decent independent mechanic then they are relatively cheap to run. High insurance cost though. Equipment 2 out of 5 ABS is your lot in terms of rider aids. It has keyless ignition and a factory fitted alarm which I can't help thinking will cause me issues in the future. OE tyres look the part and are fine in the warm but hopeless in the cold and/or wet. S&S slip ons improve the sound without being obnoxious. Buying experience: Bought from Southampton H-D for list with some extras thrown in. Buying experience just OK but aftersales and customer support have been a joke. The worst motorcycle company I have dealt with in 30 years. 3 out of 5 A good cruiser let down by H-D, dealers and build April 2019 by Moz Version: 114 Year: 2018 Annual servicing cost: £300 Ridden in isolation the Fat Bob is a nice cruiser. Try to keep up with other road traffic or crack on and you soon feel it's limitations. This is a motorcycle that you need to be in the 'cruiser' mindset to enjoy fully. For a Harley this is a step forward and the handling and ride is much improved but when compared to other bikes it has flaws. If you must have a H-D then this is the one to try. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 First off the brakes are excellent, some of the best I've used recently. The bike is comfortable and the stock suspension is pretty good for UK B roads, just make sure that you adjust the shock with the remote pre-load adjuster. Handling is good as long as you remember what you are riding, it takes a good old push of counter steer to turn in the front wheel but it holds a very stable line. I personally don't find it particularly comfortable on the motorway above 70 but that may be the fact that I don't exclusively ride in the cruiser position, I would rather travel distances on my XSR, but cruising on the back roads at 60 it's all day comfy. The pillion seat is fine for my 7 yo daughter, but not a grown up size. Engine 4 out of 5 I have to love the engine. Yes it's under powered for it's size but it is a nice place to be with it thrumming away. The sheer weight of the motorcycle means that you're never going to win many races but it's nice riding the torque out of corners. Very smooth for the capacity too. I was specifically looking for a bike to cruise on as I own other sports bikes so in this market with the likes of the V7, Speedmaster, CB1100 etc, the Harley engine just has a lot more of the 'C' word than all of those other bikes so it's the one I'm happier to potter along on and not be frustrated by the traffic or get impatient. Reliability & build quality 2 out of 5 After less than a year with 2500 dry miles the cracks are showing. Excessively vibrating (non locking) fuel cap replaced, pre-load adjuster stiff and a software patch after an overnight battery drain. However, the condensation in the clock and all the paint peeling off the regulator has been blamed on 'cosmetic and environmental issues'. Harley have not been empathic about these issues despite my assurances that I haven't taken it green laning... I'll admit that I don't have high expectations for the long term reliability of the bike and with hindsight I probably wouldn't have bought it. I expect better on a £16k+ bike. Value vs rivals 2 out of 5 Considering the apparent lack of build quality then the purchase price seems more than excessive. Palatable if you want the 'lifestyle' though which appeals to some. Harley dealers by me tend to be around £100-110 per hour but thankfully there are some very good independents locally. Parts and accessories are as expensive as you would expect. Equipment 3 out of 5 Some slip-on's make it sound just right, not too obnoxious. The stock tyres look the part but they are terrible in the winter and only slightly better in the wet, I may swap them for some Cruisetecs. Non-locking fuel cap and a ridiculously placed speedo are impractical and the keyless ignition/alarm comes standard but I would rather not have them. I would recommend putting on an oil cooler guard ASAP. Buying experience: Bought from Southampton Harley. Sales experience just OK. After sales has been appalling. I wouldn't recommend.
