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).
Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2022

The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride after a little familiarisation. The single-disc brake at the front has a lot of work to do and the fat 160 front tyre does not steer in quite naturally. In addition, the rider has to cope with a hard suspension and a seating position that is energy-sapping on long stages - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.
