Overview

Introducing the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLSTFB Sportster Fat Boy Special, a motorcycle that embodies the brand’s legacy of classic styling paired with modern performance. Positioned within the custom-cruiser category, the Fat Boy Special carries an unmistakable presence on the road, combining a dark, aggressive aesthetic with the kind of comfort and handling that appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. With a starting price of $16,299, this machine offers an intriguing entry point into the world of Harley-Davidson, promising a blend of iconic design and robust engineering that resonates with motorcycle enthusiasts. At the heart of the Fat Boy Special lies a powerful V2, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 1,584 cc (96.66 cubic inches). This robust powerplant delivers an impressive torque of 125 Nm (92.2 ft-lbs) at just 3,500 RPM, allowing for smooth acceleration and confident cruising, whether you're navigating city streets or embarking on long-distance rides. The 6-speed gearbox enhances its performance, providing both low-end grunt and high-speed capability. Coupled with the electronic sequential port fuel injection and air-cooling system, this motorcycle promises a ride that is both responsive and exhilarating, making it an ideal choice for those who crave performance without sacrificing style. The Fat Boy Special is not just about raw power; it’s packed with features that elevate the riding experience. Its dark, slammed appearance is complemented by satin chrome accents, including a Denim Black frame and swingarm that contribute to its bold stance. The low-cut seat, positioned at just 680 mm (26.8 inches), ensures that riders enjoy a comfortable and grounded ride, while the stainless steel mini beach handlebars with internal wiring provide an uncluttered look and feel. Stopping power is assured with high-performance brakes—292 mm (11.5 inches) single discs both front and rear—while the hidden, horizontal-mounted rear suspension ensures a smooth ride across various terrains. The Fat Boy Special is truly a blend of style and technology, making it a standout in Harley's lineup. **

Pros

Powerful Engine Performance: The 1,584 cc V2 engine delivers robust torque and smooth acceleration, perfect for both city riding and long-distance journeys.
Striking Design: With its dark, aggressive look and satin chrome accents, the Fat Boy Special stands out in any crowd, appealing to riders who appreciate aesthetics as much as performance.
Comfortable Ride: The low seat height and well-designed suspension provide a comfortable riding experience, making it accessible for a wide range of riders.

Cons

Weight: At 313 kg (690 lbs), the Fat Boy Special is on the heavier side, which could be a concern for less experienced riders when maneuvering at low speeds.
Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank that holds 19.7 liters (5.20 gallons), long-distance riders may need to plan their refueling stops more carefully.
Basic Tech Features: While the bike includes essential modern features, it lacks some of the advanced technology found on newer models, which may be a consideration for tech-savvy enthusiasts.
