Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Bob 114 FXFBS 2021

The Fat Bob is the sportiest of the 8 new Harley-Davidson Softail models. You can tell not only by the fact that this wicked muscle bike is already visually close to being a naked bike, but also by the components: 43 mm upside-down fork, dual brake discs and 180 rear tyres. The surprisingly light-footed handling cannot be prevented by the 150 front tyres and 306 kilos of weight; only the lean angle clearance could be better. But the overall appearance is right and the big V2 engine delivers 94 hp and 155 Nm of torque (the Fat Bob is also available with a "smaller" engine with 87 hp and 145 Nm of torque).

Despite its weight and huge dimensions, the Triumph Rocket 3 R surprises with good-natured and easy handling. The highlight of this machine is clearly the incredible 2.5-litre three-cylinder engine. Thrust in every situation and a lot of emotion are the order of the day. Fortunately, the chassis and brakes have not been skimped on either, which is why the Rocket 3 R is a fascinating package for torque lovers.

Extremely powerful engine

neutral handling

comfortable ergonomics

lots of electronics

powerful brakes

stable chassis

an all-round fascinating motorbike.

little leaning freedom
