Harley Davidson Softail Fat Boy (2017)

The Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy 2017 is an unapologetic heavyweight bike that embodies the very essence of a fat custom motorcycle. Its distinctive rear fender, coupled with its imposing stature, makes it impossible to ignore on the road.

At the heart of this behemoth lies the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) Output Twin Cam 103B engine, which unleashes pounding torque and delivers power smoothly through the 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission. This potent combination is further enhanced by the rigid mounted engine and twin hidden rear shocks that provide a clean look reminiscent of vintage hardtails.

As you ride the Fat Boy, its commanding presence and responsive handling come together to create an exhilarating experience. The low-profile, ergonomic handlebar and full-length rider footboards contribute to a comfortable riding position, while the beefy 200 mm wide rear tire provides ample grip on any road surface.

Whether you’re carving through twisties or cruising down the highway, the Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy 2017 is an unforgettable ride that leaves an indelible mark on your senses.
