I think the biggest problem people have with their bikes is pretending they’re bike is something it’s not. Buying a fatboy, you need to have in mind that it has limited riding. It is meant for nice relaxing cruises, taking in the sound and feel of the engine, and the views of the scenery you’re passing through. It’s def not a “‘only bike” vibe. Going from that to an XSR is crazy different, I’m glad you figured out what your needs and wants are man.
agree; its for cruising touring. I have a xsr900 for twisties; hills and a city bike for dealing with 100,00 scooters all over who can't drive at all. but those others are not for 2 up riding comfort so the fatboy works there
The Fatboy is a good platform to accessorize to make it your vision. I ride a 2007 Fatboy everywhere I want to go year round. It’s 18 years old now and still runs fine. I would ride it cross country any time.
He sure did blow it. I’m not sure why you would purchase anything like this with a worry of diminishing return…especially so quickly after the buying it.
Great post, I just bought my 2021 Fat Boy, yeah highway it moves a lot more than I expected. I ride alone or with one friend, not looking for MC, though much respect to MC clubs. After not riding in over 30 years, jumped onto my HD. I do at times regret not getting a Street Glide, but feel at 55 I can still ride a sporty HD. Let's see how I'm doing after a few years.
Exactly. He needs a gimmicky bike. Quality isn’t his concern. He wants the proverbial smoke blown up his ass with useless accessories instead of a quality bike.
FLFBS , is a terminator,, 114, i bought,the,same,stuff you,did, hmm, looked like yours, ex cept twisted red wicked cherry, put all the stuff on, then out it on the shelf,lol, put 14in.

Hi ! I'm seriously intending to purchase the FBoy, but just found your video. oops! do you mind to describe the main pros and cons of that bike. one and main one of yours is that after 100m/h a lot of vibration . any others ? thx in advance for your advice regarding the volubility of purchasing FB
I think I mentioned all of them on the video. Vibration at higher speeds. (90mph+). Of course I know that this bike was not made to go a fast. But every once in a while I like that adrenaline rush and it’s just not fun or safe doing that on the Fatboy. The second biggest would be it just has no tech. The gauge is old looking. There is no traction control. Or speed modes. Now. I’m just being extra picky. Obviously I bought the bike for a reason. It looked really good, sounded good, overall felt good. It just doesn’t have any WOW factor I guess. I was blinded by it being a “Harley” that I didn’t really make a list of things my bike needed to have before I bought it. Learned my lesson. My XSR is everything I’ve ever wanted on a bike. Good luck!
@@erickflores01 good morning and very appreciated for your opinion. I’m not a speedy man thats why facing towards Harley. I’ve got old springer and love it but wanna second one a slightly modern . The nowadays everything is locked down and we haven’t chance to ride around Europe thus only city ride remains Thx and safe ride with your XSR🤝

I couldn’t agree more. I unfortunately learned that the hard way. Hopefully later on in life I can have 3 bikes. R1, XSR and a Harley!

You really blew it with the worries on value going forward! That bike right now is worth as much as it was brand new.

How's your 2021 treating you? I just purchased one. Any issues I should be looking out for? Absolutely love the way it rides!
Bro really just ain't a motorcyclist 😂
Facts, he needs a Japanese toy.

yes basic electronics; digital tach would be great; NOT a adv full tft screen but ; they aren't harleys for 2 up comfort.
Question.. if anyone knows (who makes) that back-rest? (especially) like the broad RACK too.
Shout back .. anytime
Man you’re making a big mistake I just bought a23 fatboy it has cruise control as stock what are you smoking the gauges are great the bike is great
all the roads in asia, non drivers ; I'd never get over 110km's or just 65 mph or so.
I know I'm at least a year late but would you happen to still have anything like a manual or anything for this bike you forgot to trade?

I have a 2021 and have ridden 90+ mph and can say there is zero vibrations! Seems they got that ironed out!
I also have a 2019 MT09 for my crazy thrills!!
@@bif90210 oh man. You have the best of both worlds. Maybe one day I could afford both.
“Everything going in with Harley” lol sell it dude , this isn’t for you, could hear that in your voice let alone your comments
