Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy S 2017

Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy S 2017

Don't worry, the S in the names Fat Boy S and Slim S does not stand for Sport - only for more displacement and a little more power. Nothing has changed in the essence of the two models, but the sovereignty has been increased immensely. Added to this is the cooler look thanks to the many black parts - Screamin' Eagle stands for top performance in terms of both performance and styling!

Powerful acceleration of the Screamin' Eagle engine

beautiful workmanship

good brakes

comfortable seating position

stable handling.

Strong heat development of the engine

little leaning freedom

Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage Classic 114 FLHCS 2018

Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage Classic 114 FLHCS 2018

If you can only try one Harley-Davidson, the Heritage is definitely a good choice. With its classic appearance and the roaring Milwaukee Eight V2, it embodies the brand's core values like no other model. It is also well suited as a touring bike thanks to cruise control, a comfortable saddle, side panniers and windshield. However, it is definitely the wrong bike for chasing the best times on the home track; the brakes and chassis are not designed for this. Anyone who demands that of it has not (yet) understood the subject of Harley-Davidson cruisers.
