Overview

Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob, a striking custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of rebellion and freedom that Harley-Davidson is renowned for. Positioned within the Dyna family, the Fat Bob stands out with its muscular stance and robust design, appealing to riders who crave a powerful yet stylish motorcycle that can tackle both city streets and open highways. With a price point starting at $15,899 in the U.S. and €17,235 in Europe, it's an investment for those who appreciate a blend of tradition and modern engineering in their rides. At the heart of the Fat Bob is a formidable 1687.97 ccm (103 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 78.90 HP at 5000 RPM and a crushing torque of 132 Nm at 3250 RPM. This power ensures spirited acceleration and a thrilling riding experience, whether you're cruising down the boulevard or carving through twisty back roads. The six-speed gearbox and belt final drive provide smooth, responsive shifts, allowing riders to unleash the engine's full potential while enjoying a comfortable ride. With a fuel consumption of just 5.60 litres per 100 km, the Fat Bob balances power with efficiency, making it a practical choice for long-distance adventures. The 2016 Fat Bob is equipped with essential features that enhance both performance and rider comfort. The telescopic front fork and twin shock rear suspension ensure a smooth and stable ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road. The dual front disc brakes, combined with an optional ABS system, deliver confidence-inspiring stopping power. With a low seat height of 690 mm (27.2 inches), this motorcycle is accessible to a wider range of riders, while its aggressive stance and distinctive styling—a mix of black denim, vivid colors, and bold design elements—turn heads wherever it goes. Additionally, the Fat Bob's ample 18.93-litre fuel tank ensures fewer stops on long rides. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The robust engine provides impressive torque and horsepower, making it a thrilling ride for enthusiasts.
  • Comfortable Ride: With a low seat height and efficient suspension, the Fat Bob offers a comfortable experience for riders of all sizes.
  • Stylish Design: Its bold aesthetics and custom-cruiser styling make it a standout on the road, appealing to those who appreciate both form and function.

Cons

  • Weight: At 306 kg (674.6 lbs), the Fat Bob is on the heavier side, which may be a consideration for less experienced riders.
  • Fuel Capacity: While adequate for most rides, the 5.00-gallon tank may require more frequent refueling on long journeys compared to other touring bikes.
  • Limited Storage Options: As a custom-cruiser, it may lack the storage capacity and accessories that touring riders typically seek for extended trips.
