I had a CBR 600RR and an 07 Harley Night Train. Now I own one of these and have to say this bike is the perfect blend of both. Handles like a sport-bike with the comfort of a cruiser, best bike I have owned yet!
I’m not sure what he’s talking about hard to handle going slow. I have the 2019 fatbob 114 and I got a 100% on endorsement test in it and had zero issues handling it at slower speed.. 🤷♂️
The "wobble" is called "self steer". I ride fatbikes in the winter and a wider tire tends to track when you lean. It feels like it's pulling you further in the direction of the lean than you intend and the bars want to turn sharper on their own. I think this is what he means. It's just the nature of bigger tires, it can be unnerving if you're not used to it.
Im planning to get a fatbob still confused though wether to go for a road glide or a fatbob. i currently own a diavel 1260s test ride 1 you might change your mind on how it looks much like the fatbob hahaha… but nice to have both. Nice review
Nice review, thank you. Unfortunately, the 'cool wave' is no good for us in the UK - we're on the other side of the road and don't wanna let go of the throttle. We make do with a nod of the head. ;) :)
He forgot to mention that you point two fingers towards the ground kind of like the peace sign, which is saying “keep it on twos my brotha!” (Two wheels that is, for the uninitiated)✌️. Of course you can still pull dank nooners if that’s your thing!
For two up riding the Harley is better, for cruising at low speeds and comfort the Harley wins again due to the to higher torque at lower RPMS, imo the Harley also looks better. You dont buy a Harley for performance however it is nice to have a bike that is capable of providing a fun ride like the fatbob does as it is certainly not slow and clumsy....Most of us that can afford this price point for a bike/toy usually have the money for another bike to park beside it . For example I just picked up a used CBR1000RR which will destroy a Diavel........My wife wont get on the CBR but will ride the Harley and thats the point, the Harley is a great capable cruiser.

He says he’s not a Harley guy but he made sure he snatched up a sportster Roadster with a 1200 evo engine before they went away! 👍

@@ErikR1979 well my 19 fatbob has been hands down best handling Harley I’ve ever own, and I’ve own 6.
@@AutoExpectations Never said it was a bad handler, just that tires that big will inherently have self steer.
I like it the moment it was debuted.
Really enjoyed this review. Best I've seen on this bike. Thank you and nice bonus too!
Thanks for the nice comment! Glad you enjoyed it!
I just bought one today. New 2020 model
Very good well balanced review, thank you.
I have street bob , but would like to Exchange fat bob , but i have doubts like sporty driving and cornering .
great review! what would you pick between fat bob and low rider ? both review very impressive!

Good perspective.
She's gorgeous

Ah the trials of the Brits. Gotta petition your government to switch sides of the road and explain to them about the cool wave. They’ll understand.
@@DifferentSpokesTV OK, I'm on it!

Fully diesel thing thought ducatis had style..not no more I guess
My single objection is the peanut tank, I can't live with a 3 gallon tank on any bike. Maybe next year.
There is no performance comparison, in handling or acceleration, between lightweight Diavel and any Harley.
True, but cruiser riders don't generally look for all out performance.

@@0321ReconMan an excellent comment... Agreed 100%...H&R
Cool looking, beefy, many bike that says “performance” yet only performs FOR A HARLEY. 114 cubes and it’s still slow, for a motorcycle.
imo the diavel looks better overall
The looks of a bike are a very subjective thing and opinions differ widely. I’m an old fart and the Harley look is a bit more traditional.
Tastes vary.
Damn that deivil thing is fugly
