CONCLUSION
With higher capacity motorcycles now available in India, the Harley Davidson Fatboy FLSTF at starting price of INR 14,99,000 is on the expensive side. But Classic Harleys have never been cheap. If one wants a bike on a budget, he should probably be looking elsewhere. The Fatboy is not meant for those looking at out and out performance – it’s about the visual appeal, the on-board feel, the unhurried, torquey character and the way it absolutely overshadows anything else on the road with its majestic presence.
The Harley Davidson Fatboy is an icon- a legendary offering from the Milwaukee manufacturer that has stood the test of time. There’d be a very few motorcycles on the planet that would come close to matching the sheer retro-attitude of the Harley Davidson Fatboy. It’s an absolute charmer!
