Fat Boy vs. Bob

Fat Boy vs. Bob
Ok, wanting to purchase my first HD. Always liked the Fat Boy. Had a friend that had a Bob and I liked it. I can find a late model Bob, '09, for 11-12k but cant touch a Boy for that price unless I go back prior to 07. I've done some reading here and noticed that in 06 there was a change in both engines and transmissions. This kinda scares me, thinking I should go with the "new" stuff. Anybody got any information that would help me make my choice? Other than the obvious.. Thanks

You've got to try them both on for size. To me, the Boy has "the look", so I went for it and have not regretted it. A buddy is looking at the Bob. To me the Boy was a more natural riding position but that is strictly subjective. If you flipped a coin to make a decision, you couldn't go wrong!

You haven't done much shopping, then. A brand-new 2011 Bob is only $13k. My '09 FXDC was $9k...a year ago!
