We write September 1990: The wall has already fallen, the GDR will be in about four weeks of history, Germany with the 3. October have a new national holiday. At this time, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, member of the Softail model family, whose full fat level is almost quasi. 26.950 D-Mark requires the dealer for the over 300 kilograms of heavy machine, whose marks are, among other things, the light metal compartment wheels.

Markus Jahn / Harley-Davidson New at the Fat Boy S is also the standard cruise, as have some models of the Softail series from 2016.

Let’s talk a little more about the money. The almost 23.000 Euro are a lot of money – on the one hand. On the other hand, the price of Fat Boy S is only 1.200 euros above that of the standard model. Whose motor key figures: 1690 cubic centimeter displacement, 79 (instead of 92) ps, but above all only 132 nm maximum torque instead of the 146 of the XXL V2 motor of the S-Class. It is more this value standing for the usable force than the higher nominal power, which makes up the very special character of the Fat Boy S: the thing at the full opening of the 46 millimeters of measuring throttle valves in almost every speed range the arms long! Despite the well over 400 kilograms, which – the weight of the driver is accelerated – be accelerated.

Gas fun is fun

Yes, gas is fun at the Fat Boy S. The mighty engine – each cylinder has almost dimensional claws – turns smoothly, no trace of retention, even if of course the wholesale piston engine: "In the rest the force is the power". But not only. The food of all Cruiser, because this is the Fat Boy, this type of locomotion directly masters: in this S-Class is enough about 2.300 crankshaft revolutions to slide through the landscape with 100 km / h. Full performance is around 5.000 tours delivered, at 5.600 / min. Accesses the speed limiter. By the way, 195 km / h is possible, a theoretical value clearly, which was still at the first Fat Boy in 1990 at 145 km / h.

Tempomat as standard

New at the Fat Boy S is also the standard cruise, as have some models of the Softail series from 2016. If he works similarly as Harley’s automatic blink reset (where we do not seriously doubt), then that is a useful thing, especially in the cruise very pleasant thing; We could not try this outfit detail on the winding roads in the district of Barcelona. For this she let us feel what the Fat Boy S can only be limited: Film about curves Circulating. The low ground clearance in conjunction with the widely protruding, curved ride boards requires their tribute in the form of a fairly limited shrinkage freedom; scratch the ride boards, the absolute end is reached, because there is nothing after.

Cheap and really good

You have to set yourself as a driver on this special feature and always look for the wide line; Hardwinking is not helpful. It is also not facilitated by the very wide tires (front 140, back 200 millimeters); Nevertheless, the steering precision is good and the deflection is not really difficult, already the wide, pleasantly attached handlebar. Overall, the chassis of Fat Boy S is quite like; Contrary to the rigid frame optics, it feathers and dampens in the predetermined range of the spring travel (rear only 86 millimeters, front 130 millimeters) very neat. Incidentally, the two struts are hidden under the gearbox and are loaded on train. Smart.

Good brakes

You can also be satisfied with the brakes: the hand force necessary for strong delay is considerable, but you can get the front tire quite to whimper, with slightly reduced grip also in the rule range of the ABS. This regulates sufficiently sensitive. Above all, the large rear disc brake carries a lot for delay performance in the face of the rear of the Fat Boy S. Nevertheless, we would like a double disc brake in the front wheel.
