You made a very good point Freddie - owning a dream bike is not just riding it - it's also the feeling of happiness when you just think about it parked up in the garage. Might sound strange for other people but that's how it is for us. Great upload 😀

[leeoflincoln]

Freddie, you are amazingly talented at presenting these videos! One take for a full descriptive presentation. Amazing!

[hamitozbek]

Freddie I’m not a biker never been a biker and never rode a bike. But I find you videos very relaxing calming and therapeutic for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just rode my 2023 Obese Robert about 350 miles in two days and it was phenomenal. For long trips I throw on a 19” windshield, some Thrashin supply saddle bags, and a waterproof duffel. About to put on some 3” risers to add some comfort. The bike is light and keeps up with Street and Road Glides all day long. After a long trip I strip it back down to its street brawler looks for the daily commute and local rides.

Ik got 25 oookm on my Bob never failed me and after 3 years i still love it

[christianmouraux]

I had one and loved it, but then I met the Guzzi V100, and that was a instant crush 😀 As much character, but soo much more refined, So I swapped my Fatbob for the Guzzi, and not regret it anytime since then... it was a year ago.

[michaelwhite]

I ride a new Road Glide. However, the Fat Bob has arguably the nicest detailing and materials in the lineup. I love the styling because it is creative. As a bike for riding, if you like a "raw" experience it's hard to beat. In general I agree with your points.

[kiokios]

You are a valuable resource for us bikers. Great channel. Thank you!😃

With basically no motorcycle riding experience (except for owning a Yamaha Xmax Scooter) I rented this beast last year in California and did 2.600 miles in two weeks. Took me through the hurricane when it lightly hit Yellowstone, to Vegas the Grand Canyon and many more incredibly beautiful places. Had the best time and we grew into one during that trip. The power of the engine was such a visceral experience. Yes, sometimes a windshield would have been nice and if my buddy didn't have panniers on his Harley, it would have been a real problem. After that trip I had to get a real motorcycle but the Fat Bob wasn't ment for my commute trough city traffic. I finally landed on a Moto Guzzi V7 850 Special - of all the bikes I tested, the sound and rumble reminded me of the Fat Bob most. Very happy with my purchase so far. Ride on!

Ive got an 18 model fatbob with a stage 2 set up, and you have given the best review of that bike than anyone else. I like that its still a motorbike with out all the add ons...keep up the good work...from downunderland.

[winsomey]

This is one of the best bike reviews i have seen. Only a true enthusiast can do that. Bravo!!

[gelozyg]

The most under appreciated bike from Harley. The off roading capabilities of this cruiser bike is unmatched from any other cruisers in the market. It has enough power and torque that rivals a dirt bike and adventure bike and also the fact that the bike geometry is perfect for trail riding has not been explored as much as it deserves to. Why I mentioned this is because in the Philippines that Fatbob is actually an off-roading cruiser choice of some motorcycle clubs here in my country where they ride uphill and through mountain terrain with the rest of adventure bikers and the Fatbob keeps pace is unmatched.

I remember when Monica praised your comments on the RE Classic 350 and suggested you should be on their staff. The $$ amount is a sizeable difference and brings SO many smiles at the end of the day. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

[Grasshoppa]

With respect Freddie....that is not a 2 into 1 exhaust.

[markperry]

HD should pay you to advertise Freddie; you nailed it with this video.😉

[Paul-]

That’s my favourite bike from all of your reviews Freddie. It looks amazing. £20k is the only thing stopping me from buying one.

[andrewgagner]

American here, have a '17 Dyna Fat Bob, and to be honest it (and the Softail version) seem to be far more popular in Europe then they have been in the US since it's inception; it's a bike that doesn't seem to have a place in HD's line up, especially with the Low Rider S taking the performance mantle... I'm surprised it has taken them this long to cancel it.... having said that, living 5 miles up a dead end dirt road, coming from a dual sport/adv bike background here in Vermont, I love mine. Then again, I'm not a "Harley" guy. Thanks for the video.

[collinember]

Came for the Fat Bob review, watched more of your videos, and bought a T120 😀 - subscribed and love watching your videos. So down to earth!

[CaptainRJ]

Freddie you've done a great job with this series! And the camera work is superb - nice work featuring all angles of the bike, and the countryside!

[flatcapcaferacer]

Unfortunately most viewers focus on specs and pricing will not understand your connection with this bike. Your personality allows you to connect with the a mulitiple brands of bikes. This is your gift most of us don't have. You hear the reindeer bell from the movie "Polar Express", I hope you don’t lose it.
