Harley-Davidson Fatbob Review - Final thoughts, Pros and Cons...

Great review as always, Andy! Pros: no chrome to polish Cons: no chrome to polish

I really do enjoy the perspective of the Harley from the other side of the pond. It's nice to see some positive comments as well as fair criticisms. The tastes, styling, and riding conditions obviously vary from one side of the Atlantic to the other. I grew up one generation too late, the English bikes had fallen way behind by the time I could ride them. I am very excited that Royal Enfield, BSA, and Norton are being talked about mainstream now. I am seeing more and more Royal Enfields here in New England, and that makes me smile. Thanks for the video.

Another honest review of the Harley Fat Bob, great to hear you being so positive about the build quality , the way it rides and how it made you feel, it's a breath of fresh air to hear a Brit bike vlogger talking so positively about a Harley, if they handed out medals for smiles per mile then H-D would be an Olympic gold medalist every time.

I've got a 2010 Dyna Fatbob. Rode down from Stirling to the MotoGP this summer with a roll bag with my camping gear on the back. 7+ hour day no problem. One other plus, push rods, so no valve clearance service! I do like this one but for me you can't beat the Dynas, I've had 5!

Massive engine, almost no tech, days are numbered you can still buy bikes like these. Get one while you can ! Great review Mr Flyer.

Massive 🎩-TIP to Harley Davidson for lending these beautiful bikes to TMF. Now this really cracked me up, ….”properly engineered, built by blokes with spanners” (British accent). Won’t soon forget that description. Well done Andy. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

I love that you have incorporated Harleys into your repertoire. I don't own one but they are fun to ride.

I love the variety of bikes you get to ride and show us. It's funny how often things we once wrote off as undesirable eventually become very interesting. Tastes change, so I always like to see these different machines that I'd never otherwise come across -- who knows what'll be in the garage one day! Safe travels

Never has a YouTube video convinced me to at least give HD a second thought 👀 😂 Bravo sir 👏

Another fine video TMF! The Harley stole my heart a few years ago and i now have two in the man cave. I love my GS of course but your spot on when you say about how the Harley makes you feel when riding it. Great to drop in and watch the video mate.

Love this bike , if I had £17,000 spare I’d get one. Thanks for another great review Andy. I really appreciate it.

Great review Andy! A test drive is all it takes to fall in love with the HD character. Thats what made me buy my HD sportster

Fantastic review as always! You like me have been watching my mate Dave on wheeliegoodtv!! Loving you new camera angles! Keep up the good work! 👍

Many years ago as a young man I would have rather walked than rode on a Harley, but at the age of 64 I think I finally get them, not sure why with their strange quirks and mannerism's they sort of live and breath. You may think that strange thing to say, but that's' my take on Harley Davidson. Enjoyed your review also . Thank you..

The fit and finish is second to none ( solid metal parts unlike a lot of plastics on other bikes)… and the cool factor is exponential… it rides good too…

Great review, as ever TMF - I enjoy how you take each bike on its own merits. I've always loved Harleys, but there's never been one that could earn its place as the only bike in my garage - adopts Clarkson voice - until now... I got my FXFBS used a year ago and it is without a doubt my favourite bike out of ALL the bikes I've owned - including R1s, ZX6Rs, a Benelli Tornado, Speed Triples etc. I know it's not for everyone, but it is most definitely for me! I usually move a bike on after a couple of years, but this one is not leaving my side!

Hi Andy really glad you liked the fat bob. I definitely love mine. Good vlog as always. I managed to barter Harley down and got ove a grand off. I did spend a further 2 grand having a stage 1 cruise control heated grips a tail tidy up and an engine guard and finally a fairing but that was additional cost. It is a comfortable back to ride for an hour then you must stop to get feeling back from your waist down. Advantage on the Triumph tiger is you can stand up and have a wiggle lol

Well done on not being tribal about the HD brand, - so many people criticise them without ever having riding one. I got so much grief from my mates when I got mine, - but it just made me smile every time I rode it. It actually returned me to the same feeling I had as a 16 year old with my fist bike, a Honda SS50, as it is not always about the data or numbers, it is about the grin factor! However what put me off from the HD brand was the dealership that I bought my FXDL from when I wanted to trade it in for one of these Fatbob's because they offered me less than I could get buying a KTM, Triumph or Ducati. I now have a Diavel.

Thanks for the ride, and review. That is really a nice looking bike. It has a lot of design queues that appeal to me.

Great review as usual, can't wait until spring, when, after many years of 'not getting' the Harley thing, I've promised myself a test ride. At least I can then say I was either right.....or totally wrong. Had a Triumph America a few years back, and loved it, so you never know.
