Just got mine, and its just all around bad ass. Great power, balance and easy cornering. If you're on the fence on this one, get off and hop on this beast. Amazing bike
I just bought a 2021 fat boy, black Jack Metallic, Vance and Hines big radius exhaust, and a stage 4 131ci build. It’s at the shop now, watching videos, excited to ride it! Definitely a balanced mix of classic and modern styling.
Been riding bikes starting with off-roaders since I was 13 and got my first street bike right at 16. I’ve had a lot of different street bikes over the years but finally pulled the trigger last week and got my first H-D, a 2018 115th anniversary edition fat boy and man do I love it! It’s still stock and I’ve only put about 300+ miles on it this week but I have plans to add cruise control, get some removable bags and removable windscreen and let it pull double duty as a fun cruiser and a lightweight touring rig. Love this bike!!!
I'm about to pull the trigger. Money's not the issue, deciding on the 2022 Fat Boy 114 is. I'm looking for a comfortable cruiser is my goal, I owned a 96 Fat Boy and I enjoyed it quite a bit, had to replace the awful ignition system but I had many hours of enjoyment on my Fat Boy so I'm wondering if there is much difference after 26 years. Oh well, I guess I'll just go check them out and probably take the plunge. Once I walk on a showroom floor I tend to buy, there's something about being around brand new beautiful bikes that make me want to purchase one now, that's why I don't go to the dealer unless I'm ready to make it happen. I'm leaning toward the Vivid Black and I'll have to put on some pipes, change the mirrors, possibly a new seat and a detachable windshield and saddle bags for trips. Thanks for the video! Ride safe brother.
My dream is to have a Harley, a Fatboy, but unfortunately I can't afford it, here in Brazil it costs $20,000 and it's impossible for me, unemployed, doing small jobs and supporting a family. I met a person here in Brazil who received it as a gift from an American businessman, he actually gave the value of the bike and he bought it, I found this attitude a dream, I watch videos about Fatboy every day and dream, today is the best I can go arriving by a Harley Davidson.
How do you lock the bike, how do you chain it? With these rims i can`t see how it can be chained, I am interested to buy one but i`m concerned about theft...
I love the fat boy I think I’m going to finally get one my biggest problem with it I would put different pipes on it because I want to hear it it’s a Harley! Great review by the way
Just make it happen, my buddy put on different pipes on his Fatboy and it sounds fantastic, yeah, the neighbors probably don't like it but tough, it's not like he rides it up and down the block constantly. I'm making it happen this summer no matter what.
Be careful of roads /streets that have stones in them, those tires skip right across them unlike any of my other bikes. But it's a great bike that rewards the rider if they put the work in through the turns.
@@niceguy91320 I am completely customizing this bike including installing a swing arm rear end and a huge 260 mm rear tire. And reducing the front to a 130 mm down from the big 160 front tire. Hope it rides even better!!
Nice vid of the Fatboy 👍 am contemplating one myself would appreciate more of a walk round regards controls (making transition from sports to cruiser) & mapping connectivity 🤔. You mentioned about wind shield 🛡️ & luggage can these be easily attached & detached when required?
A Fatbob, Fatboy, Sport Glide or Heritage from the Softail family. Road King or Road Glide from the touring family. Which family you go with would depend on how big of a bike you’ll be comfortable with and what you’ll be doing on the bike. If you’re touring across the country two up, go touring family. If you’re getting out around town alone and want a smaller bike for storage or weight reasons, go Softail family. Hope this helps!
I sold my 2017 Lowrider last year but it just wasn't the right bike for me. I had a 1996 Fatboy and I loved that bike, sold it like a moron to keep the girl, the girl left anyway and didn't have the bike. Boy was I stupid, never again. I'm looking at the 2022 Fatboy and I love the look of it especially now that they've brought the chrome back. Great review, well done and all the info I needed, didn't know if you could have cruise control and you said it right in the beginning, thank you!! I'm going to make it happen this summer, can't freaking wait. P.S. I'm on the internet late at night, your intro music woke my neighbors!! 🤣🤣 One more thing, Arnold wasn't trying to save Sara Conner in Terminator he was trying to kill her!! 😂🤣🤣
I’ve had mine for a year and the only complaint I have is the centerline wheels. You do in fact feel the side wind gusts. Other than that, great F**n ride! 🤘🏽
Just bought a 2021 Fat Boy. My first Harley Davidson. What a nice looking piece of shit. I'm selling it and taking a loss because I'll be happier that way. The Harley dealer (and every other Harley dealer) has no clue how these motorcycles work. They THINK they do, but they don't. My particular dealer sold me pipes & a tuner which immediately lost me 10% power and torque across the board. Dyno seemed to surprise them. Idiots. I have a shake in the front end which they can't explain. My front tire is defective. It's a wrestling match to make turns. Battery had to be replaced already. Can't get it in neutral. Due to the new engine design, it will never sound like a Harley. So, don't buy it if you're expecting that. Other than that, I love it. After going through all the motorcycles I've purchased and ridden over the years, I now have an Indian and a Harley in my garage. Soon I'll have only the Indian!
Love the bike its my number two bike but damn I couldn’t listen to you drown on. Make your next video shorter. Have a script that you practiced before so you don’t Sam umm so much
Why did you lie?! I'm a mechanical engineer and I can say clearly the wheels are not designed to deflect wind. Provide your evidence.. Awesome looking machine BTW. You did not have to lie to people to sell it
Just got mine, and its just all around bad ass. Great power, balance and easy cornering. If you're on the fence on this one, get off and hop on this beast. Amazing bike
Glad you're enjoying it! Ride on, brother!
Is there any changes from the 2019 model?
Is it easy to corner? when compared for instance to softail slim... ?
Rich people
@@sarithasanju1102People who work hard.
I bought a new Fatboy in the fall of 2003. So Ive been riding that bike for 20 years. Not once have I ever noticed the wind pushing the bike around.
Same. Bought mine in 2012 and never noticed wind affecting the wheels.

Great bike, took a little to learn to ride but once used to it it's awesome. I throw into the corners.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Sweet Ride even in The Rain LOL
Anyone who is worried about the wheels has never ridden a Fatboy before.
I swear that's a rumor started by people that refuses to die
That, along with the fear that it won't turn due to the big tires.
how about handling in corners . is it nimble ?
Do you have any recommendations for a women that’s 4 foot 8?
This should work as its low or Indian Scout bobber

I won't be getting rid of my 2012 stage 2 anytime soon. Never had any wind issues with the wheels.

I hope you get one, cheers from America.
How do you lock the bike, how do you chain it? With these rims i can`t see how it can be chained, I am interested to buy one but i`m concerned about theft...
Where are you chaining your bike up at? Where do you live?
NEW YORK CITY, i`d like to chain the bike on something for extra security.
Through the forks or the frame. 🤦♂️
I love the fat boy I think I’m going to finally get one my biggest problem with it I would put different pipes on it because I want to hear it it’s a Harley! Great review by the way
Thanks! Email me at kylek@outlawhd.com if you’d like to come see me.

14:16 the seat height is really fine for a short girl, really I love this bike
any significant differences between 2021 and 2020?
How's the passing power on 6th Gear. ? Would 5th gear be better for passing?
Be careful of roads /streets that have stones in them, those tires skip right across them unlike any of my other bikes. But it's a great bike that rewards the rider if they put the work in through the turns.
Happened to me today. I managed to stay upright but it was a bit unnerving
@@richardladroga7461 Glad you saved it. I've had it happen a few times, it's like you're on ice.
@@niceguy91320 I am completely customizing this bike including installing a swing arm rear end and a huge 260 mm rear tire. And reducing the front to a 130 mm down from the big 160 front tire. Hope it rides even better!!
Jus bought one I super love it like u said super bad ass!!!!
Is this a good bike for someone that has not rode for 20+ years?
I’m so tempted to get this bike
One more question what is the main difference between vivid black and black jack??
Vivid black is gloss black with no flake. Black Jack Metallic is basically black with metallic flake so it sparkles in the sunlight.
Very clean!
Nice vid of the Fatboy 👍 am contemplating one myself would appreciate more of a walk round regards controls (making transition from sports to cruiser) & mapping connectivity 🤔. You mentioned about wind shield 🛡️ & luggage can these be easily attached & detached when required?
Sharp presentation with a unique perspective !
is this bike ok for a new rider?
No
I’m 6’4”. What bike would your recommend?
A Fatbob, Fatboy, Sport Glide or Heritage from the Softail family. Road King or Road Glide from the touring family. Which family you go with would depend on how big of a bike you’ll be comfortable with and what you’ll be doing on the bike. If you’re touring across the country two up, go touring family.

@@kylekochanowski8134 Thank you!
Great video l is it true you can programme ecu from my mobile phone? Pipes can be changed to Vance and hines
Can you pick one up new from a dealership with the Screamin’ Eagle 131 cc staged motor already on it?
Definitely going to be my next bike!
Brother tell me about fuel efficiency
Thanks for making this video. Would be great if you show a bit more of the bike besides the ride. Thanks again!
Is this bike comfortable for taller riders? I'm 6'5, 225 lbs. I felt comfortable on the original Fat Boy, but it's been a while.
this or the low rider s?
Test riding one next week :)
I hope they come out with a black option next year

Arnold rode the Fat Boy in Terminator 2 and he was saving Sarah Connor
You gotta use counter steering with the Fat Boy. That will solve your turning concerns.
Do you accept cash?
I’ve had mine for a year and the only complaint I have is the centerline wheels. You do in fact feel the side wind gusts. Other than that, great F**n ride! 🤘🏽
I just got mine a week ago n I've noticed it my idle n my throttle is too high ram is doing 1290 on the stop
Rpm 1290 to the neutral at complete stop. Is that normal???
Came here looking for info, now I also have to buy a new headset. But awesome info.
do 5’6 guys can ride this bike with no problem?
First and Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵
At 21:43 Looks aren't everything but just look at that. :D
I’m very like this model
Brand new bike and first day in the rain. Ouch.....

Yeah nah ...I'll keep my evo thanks.nice tho
Oh yeah, that great harley chrome, that starts peeling off but "ain't a warranty thing, dude". Made in china shite, at primo prices.
เขาอยู่เมืองไทยเขาทำไม่ได้
whats that horrible noise... 10 sec nuff for me...
To quiet, sounds like a honda.
Why did you lie?! I'm a mechanical engineer and I can say clearly the wheels are not designed to deflect wind. Provide your evidence.. Awesome looking machine BTW. You did not have to lie to people to sell it
Stop clapping your hands
These bikes are so overpriced for what they are.
