I had never been a Harley fan and looked upon the machines from the stable as motorcycles which were high on glamour but low in terms of engineering quotient. But that perception existed only until recently, before I happened to get my hands on the Harley Davidson Iron 883 (read the review here). As amply iterated by auto-journalists worldwide, Harleys have never been about outright performance and speed, but loads and loads of torque, at your disposal with the slightest twist of your right wrist. The Iron 883 was an absolute delight to ride- particularly for the way it shattered my pre-conceived notions about the Milwaukee machinery.
After the delightful Iron 883 experience, it was time for us to sample a more exotic exponent of the American motorcycle maker’s dexterity. So we decided to put one of the most iconic offerings from Harley’s international lineup under the Motoroids review net. Displacing a massive 1690cc from its 45 degree v-twin and draped in an envy-inducing yellow attire, we swung a leg to get aboard the iconic Harley Davidson Fatboy FLSTF. If you’re confused about the FLSTF acronym- here what it means. FL stands for type of frame and the one which come mounted with big engines, ST means SoftTail and the last character stands for the model i.e F for Fatboy. Learnt something new today? Awesome! Back to the review.
Dear Deepak,
This is one of the best and honest, not copied from anywhere reviews of the fatboy. All that can be said that you and fatboy both are stars.
