Why it's the End of Road for the Harley Davidson Fat Bob

You made a very good point Freddie - owning a dream bike is not just riding it - it's also the feeling of happiness when you just think about it parked up in the garage. Might sound strange for other people but that's how it is for us. Great upload 😀

Freddie, you are amazingly talented at presenting these videos! One take for a full descriptive presentation. Amazing!

I just rode my 2023 Obese Robert about 350 miles in two days and it was phenomenal. For long trips I throw on a 19” windshield, some Thrashin supply saddle bags, and a waterproof duffel. About to put on some 3” risers to add some comfort. The bike is light and keeps up with Street and Road Glides all day long. After a long trip I strip it back down to its street brawler looks for the daily commute and local rides.

Ik got 25 oookm on my Bob never failed me and after 3 years i still love it

I had one and loved it, but then I met the Guzzi V100, and that was a instant crush 😀 As much character, but soo much more refined, So I swapped my Fatbob for the Guzzi, and not regret it anytime since then... it was a year ago.

Freddie I’m not a biker never been a biker and never rode a bike. But I find you videos very relaxing calming and therapeutic for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

You are a valuable resource for us bikers. Great channel. Thank you!😃

This is one of the best bike reviews i have seen. Only a true enthusiast can do that. Bravo!!

With basically no motorcycle riding experience (except for owning a Yamaha Xmax Scooter) I rented this beast last year in California and did 2.600 miles in two weeks. Took me through the hurricane when it lightly hit Yellowstone, to Vegas the Grand Canyon and many more incredibly beautiful places. Had the best time and we grew into one during that trip. The power of the engine was such a visceral experience. Yes, sometimes a windshield would have been nice and if my buddy didn't have panniers on his Harley, it would have been a real problem. After that trip I had to get a real motorcycle but the Fat Bob wasn't ment for my commute trough city traffic. I finally landed on a Moto Guzzi V7 850 Special - of all the bikes I tested, the sound and rumble reminded me of the Fat Bob most. Very happy with my purchase so far. Ride on!

Freddie you've done a great job with this series! And the camera work is superb - nice work featuring all angles of the bike, and the countryside!

I ride a new Road Glide. However, the Fat Bob has arguably the nicest detailing and materials in the lineup. I love the styling because it is creative. As a bike for riding, if you like a "raw" experience it's hard to beat. In general I agree with your points.

HD should pay you to advertise Freddie; you nailed it with this video.😉

I remember when Monica praised your comments on the RE Classic 350 and suggested you should be on their staff. The $$ amount is a sizeable difference and brings SO many smiles at the end of the day. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

With respect Freddie....that is not a 2 into 1 exhaust.

Unfortunately most viewers focus on specs and pricing will not understand your connection with this bike. Your personality allows you to connect with the a mulitiple brands of bikes. This is your gift most of us don't have. You hear the reindeer bell from the movie "Polar Express", I hope you don’t lose it.

Came for the Fat Bob review, watched more of your videos, and bought a T120 😀 - subscribed and love watching your videos. So down to earth!

watching the past few videos of you on the bike i wasnt a huge fan of it, but this video tipped me over. i kinda like it. missed these type of videos, where the purpose is just being brutally honest and appreciative of what is either done right, or wrong. i think back to the og classic 350 video, or the meteor videos. Those reviews nail it on the head, and with this video youve brought that same energy back. Hope to see these types of analyses more in future videos :)


(shame the bikes stupidly expensive for what you get)

I was just thinking, I really enjoy your summarising of the bikes you review.

That’s my favourite bike from all of your reviews Freddie. It looks amazing. £20k is the only thing stopping me from buying one.

American here, have a '17 Dyna Fat Bob, and to be honest it (and the Softail version) seem to be far more popular in Europe then they have been in the US since it's inception; it's a bike that doesn't seem to have a place in HD's line up, especially with the Low Rider S taking the performance mantle... I'm surprised it has taken them this long to cancel it.... having said that, living 5 miles up a dead end dirt road, coming from a dual sport/adv bike background here in Vermont, I love mine. Then again, I'm not a "Harley" guy. Thanks for the video.
