2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Review | First Ride | autoX

The Fat Boy is prime example of the new-age Softail family – it is light, sporty and have better lean angles. It’s quite uncanny how life comes full circle. It was exactly seven years ago when I was introduced to the world of Harley-Davidson. As we rode across Rajasthan, I was lucky enough to ride their entire range that time.

We managed to get our hands on the latest Fat Boy. And, yes, you’ve guessed right – we rode them to the ‘Land of the Kings.’ The iconic Fat Boy is one of my favourite easy riders and my second favourite Harley after the now defunct XR1200. For those who’ve never had the privilege to ride it, the XR1200 was the antithesis of the laid-back Harley-Davidsons that we see nowadays. It was not only the fastest and the most powerful Sportster, but also the best handler ever to have emerged from the Milwaukee stable and could put many of its Japanese counterparts to shame.

Coming back to the all-new 2018 Fat Boy, I had heard a lot of praise for the new and improved Soft Tail family, thanks to my colleague Jared who had ridden the 2018 line-up last September in Spain. But it sounded too good to be true, so we decided to take the Fat Boy which he didn’t ride in Spain, for a “short” trip to Pushkar, via Jaipur. The idea was to find out how they actually behave on our roads.

Dear friend, on a lighter note, I feel you should listen to your own video succesively for 10 times without intermittently adjusting the volume; and surely, you would need an ENT Dr.'s appointment.
Seriously, your music in between suddenly ruptures the eardrums and one needs to constantly keep toggling the volume levels. Pls. Work on it. Otherwise, nice video!

Is it worth 2 buy??? Its features n ride quality can justify the price of 20lakhs??
