Harley-Davidson: The new iron heaps
Coolness: Yes, yes, the old number with Arnold Schwarzenegger Alias Terminator. How he floods so incredibly cool on his Fat Boy and threatens: "I’ll be back". Now at least she’s back, the Fat Boy, – as a special for the 20-year-old. And cooler, when Arnie was ever: The fat proportions have remained, the glitter largely disappeared. Black is the trend color at Harley, and so it is not surprised that the Special carries a faded non-color mix of matt black and high gloss black.
Mileage eating: The Fat Boy is considered the mother of all cruisers. On the wide, flat saddle even the widest butt are comfortable. The legs relaxed, the feet are on wide ride boards. The gears are superfaul by switching rocker. For Harley-laity: To go up, the toes do not even have to be stretched, it’s a hearty kick with the heel. Everything is wonderfully comfortable and relaxed on the dark thick ship. The fact that the two compensating waved twin-cam-96b engine with 76 hp struggles a bit with the 330 kilogram of empty weight, is not more tragic, but the TOff-TOff sound of the series exhaust.
Curve scratching: Even such a Fat Boy is handy than she looks. Everything that does not have to do with shunting, the fat bub masters very well. Of course, curves and sweeping are not the recommended favorite playground.
Bell bag: With the Softail models, Harley-Davidson will be properly. The basic price of the FLSTFB Fat Boy Special is 20 195 Euro. A decent exhaust costs about 2000 euros again.

Once Harley and never again!
I bought a Harley about 18 years ago. It was just the disappointment of my … Life. Expensive, lesser quality and technically not at the level of the time not to talk about the driving dynamic qualities at all. Conclusion, after about 2 years disappointments I sold the driving again and bought me a BMW. Meanwhile, I already drive the 3. BMW and my next motorcycle will be a BMW again. However, the Harleys really have a great advantage: the high resale value. But he has, in my view, the same cause as the myth and fascination of Harley Davidson: the marketing department of Harley!
hammer
Harley driving is just awesome, he himself had a Softail Classic ago, was the best mopped what I ever had. Department price, admittedly very high, many conversions, a lot of dangers and then sold after 10 years, value loss incl. Conversions only about.1000 Euro. Inspections cheap, spare parts as well. Feel-good and fun factor priceless. I will definitely buy a Harley at the latest at the latest, even if that for some the precursor is the rollator. But that should probably be the envy of the possessless….
Attitude thing
For purposes of technical or driving dynamic aspects, I do not find a Harley in direct competition with machines from Japan&Europe. Nevertheless, I start (41J, professional&Private arrived and utilized) More and more that me the idea of the "Just roll around" without too "sporting" Claim. Maybe I’m gradually "ripe" for something like that…
Unfair, very unfair…
…is your article: He shows with great pictures (in front of the fire station) Men dreams that I also dream – unfortunately you do not write where you can get the necessary change for it. I will continue to dream – and save.
Resistant
Even if the iron heaps are expensive, they are over many years worth resistant. It’s amazing what Harleys used still. The heater fraction with the rice bowls can pack this after 5 years in the yellow sack, because no one wants more. Among the stroke, a Harley counts all the time. And in the driving way you live longer.
