Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Bob 114 FXFBS 2024

Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Bob 114 FXFBS 2024

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).

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

fine workmanship

cool look

little lean angle clearance

high weight

not the mini fittings of the Street Bob

high price

Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2025

Even though it is clearly not a rally bike, the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 knows how to impress with its powerful engine and good balance. It has plenty of traction on gravel and rolls very stably over larger scooters. Due to the 19 inch front wheel and the height of the bike, however, the the Harley soon reaches its limits in technical passages. On the flat, you should also be careful that the sensitive cast aluminium rims are not knocked into corners by potholes. All in all, however, the Harley is surprisingly off-road capable and robust for its dimensions.

Powerful, responsive engine

lush, modern electronics

semi-active suspension

good ergonomics despite the wide fuel tank

cornering ABS as standard, cornering TC as standard

optional seat lowering when stationary

19-inch front wheel suffers in off-road use

workmanship and feel partly below average

quickshifter at extra cost and not perfect
