I don't think HD knew what they had on their hand's when they built the Fatbob. The best handling HD built...... EVER.

My particular Fat Bob weighs close to 700 lbs and puts just over 103 horses to the pavement. No match in the twisties, or most anywhere else other than long cruises for that matter. All that said tho, the Fat Bob is satisfying in a way the Ducati is not.
another Monster owner turned Fat Bob owner here. mine's just an S2R 1000, but i'm seriously debating just hanging onto it and just having two bikes! i've had mine for a month and still grin every time i ride it

Not even the XR's? If that's true, I'd be smiling 'til Xmas. Cheers.

The lesser rake is exactly why it handles so superior to the run-of-the-mill air-cooled Harley.
