Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Bob 114 FXFBS 2022

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).

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Audace 2018

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Audace 2018

The Moto Guzzi Audace doesn't really need traction control, selectable engine mappings or cruise control, because it's all about one thing: a powerful performance. But its powerful body also has enough room for modern electronic gadgets, which are undoubtedly also justified and useful in a power cruiser. The bike can be ridden in a sporty manner, the lean angle is acceptable, the brakes are up to the masses and the powerful engine has enough power to push the almost 320 kg plus rider forward. Big bike made in Italy.

impressive, wicked look

thick, iconic engine

rich torque

Weak standard sound

uncomfortable seating position in the long run

stylistically inappropriate instruments
