10 out of 10 for me! Been riding since I was 5. Hondas, Kawasakis and Yamahas. Dirt bikes to enduros. Eventually cruisers, before purchasing my first Harley in 2004. A Road King classic. Enjoyed for nearly 16 years, trouble free, before trading it in on my 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack. As much as I enjoyed my Road King, subjectively, I can't say it was really fun. I missed the cruiser class. I looked at almost everything, and fell in love with the style, performance, and yes, handling, of the new Fat Bob FXFBS! Perhaps more importantly, the fact that it is pure fun! A blast to ride! When I got the itch, (literally 8 weeks or so ago), my dealer in Maine managed to locate my must have 2020 color option. Performance Orange, or nothing else for me! Because I was late to the model year production game, per se, they had to travel to Ohio to find me a low mileage Fat Bob in Performance Orange. 3 miles on the odo! Granted, I've only owned and ridden my bike for a short time, as our riding season is coming close to an end, but I absolutely love it! As I said, so much fun. A real smile maker. That to me, is what riding is all about. Although subjective, no matter your budget, or your ride, enjoy, have fun, and be safe...
@@bryanme5771 I also wanted orange. But the guy walked in right in front of me and was 5 min ahead in the process and got it first. Would have matched my orange truck. I settled on black. But it’s nice.
10/10 this is my future upgrade, i own a iron 883 now, definitely bob up their among my top favourite motorcycles Exhaust are personal preference, but i myself would put a 2 into 1 exhaust.. preferably tbr, v&h or bassani
Man i went to the dealership and i love the look of the iron 883 but everyone says its not enough engine. I wish i could get that same look with the 114 look. I dont like the headlight or the build as much and im not trying to spend a bunch of money modding it
Interesting video. You clearly know what you're talking about. As someone who has been riding for 250,000 miles and has never been on a Harley, I am very impressed with this bike. I would like one - the 114. But can I justify it? Looks: 10/10.
@@digitalmotorhead5323 I am an expat Brit in Thailand and these bikes are expensive here, otherwise I'd get one, although the roads are congested and the driving dreadful. I ride every day, although usually just locally on a 155 cc scooter. For longer journeys I have a KTM Duke 390. I also live in Portugal, where I have the 1670 cc Yamaha.
Ok I get it now. You own both of them. I was wondering why someone would compare an 883 with a Fat Bob?🤔 What’s funny is I bought the iron 883 last October (brand new) as my first bike and literally the only other bike I want (and I really, really, want it) is the 114 Fat Bob! I absolutely love that bike! It looks so awesome! And it fits so well too! I personally don’t want the loud pipes. I love the sound but I don’t want to hear it the entire time I’m riding!
Very nice bike and if I didnt have bmw f850 gsa and didnt know how great adv bikes are I would defo go for this one.. but bmw gs beats this in everyway... If I ever buy HD its because of sound.. everything else sux on em... but there is something about them that even though they sux and are super expensive for what u get.. u still want one.. it gives you joy on another level... conclusion? HD is HD and you cant compare this bikes to anything... its HD or rest of the world...
Yeah it's a cool looking bike. I like the way it has a subtle hint of a dirt bike/sport bike but still definitely looks like a cruiser all in one package!
I like of FXDR 114 and breakout, cuz they have 240 mm on tire back, but I enjoy too much fat bob and fat boy, cuz they have ahead tire 160 more big ..I have iron a 883 2014 year black, but I intend to by one of that.. but only 114 cuz much more bether...
I may be in the minority here but I have to give the Fat Bob a 9/10 on style and looks. What would you give it?
Flip the mirrors, change exhaust to favorite flavor, and 10/10.
@@TeensierPython the exhaust! Yes!
@@digitalmotorhead5323 agree with the exhaust, V&H are great, but sooo overdone, almost every other bike has V&H I have TBR 2-1-2 I give it 11/10

I give it a 10! I like the looks especially in this color combo.
Bought my Fat Bob one week ago.
Congrats! You are going to love it! Best bike I have ever had for sure. Would love to hear more about how you like it and what mods you might do too.
@@digitalmotorhead5323 This bike is absolutely amazing and lookswise its a 10/10 for me. It has a Jekyll & Hyde exhaust and sounds great. :)
10/10 this is my future upgrade, i own a iron 883 now, definitely bob up their among my top favourite motorcycles
Exhaust are personal preference, but i myself would put a 2 into 1 exhaust.. preferably tbr, v&h or bassani
Yeah I really like the tbr 2 into 1 as well. Thanks for the input!
This video is perfect because I own an 883 and I want Fat Bob! Thanks!!
10 out of 10 from me, I am in love with my fat bob 114.
Loving the Garmin forerunner 945. I have the same one. I also ride an iron 883 (upgraded to 1200). I like your taste
Oooh the 1200 kit 🤤, you sir have good taste as well!
@@digitalmotorhead5323 haha I just realized I have the same gloves too!
Bro ... I think I just made a friend for life! 🤣
I would like to try both bikes
Man i went to the dealership and i love the look of the iron 883 but everyone says its not enough engine. I wish i could get that same look with the 114 look. I dont like the headlight or the build as much and im not trying to spend a bunch of money modding it

Thanks for the positive feedback. Just don't go test ride it or your inner kid might win over on buying this bike! 😂

I love my iron 883.
2018 model.

A week ago I would not have looked twice at a Harley, now I am looking to sell a kidney to buy one of these.
That's how it happened to me too! Lol. The truth is they are some of the best bikes out there today.
I give a 10 because it has a 28 degree for rake that’s why it handles so well and antilock brakes
Two of my favorite items as well man!
Can u just remember me when u get famous?? 😀😁👍🏼
Very nice bike and if I didnt have bmw f850 gsa and didnt know how great adv bikes are I would defo go for this one.. but bmw gs beats this in everyway...

Fat Bob is a 9 out of 10 for me. If it weren’t for this bikes styling, I probably would not have gone with Harley!
Yeah it's a cool looking bike. I like the way it has a subtle hint of a dirt bike/sport bike but still definitely looks like a cruiser all in one package!
Nice review thx

I like the looks of the FXDR and the breakout, if only they didn't put you in the taco position lol!
Have one: 10/10
Good choice I must say. You go for the 114 or the 107? It's a beautiful bike!
