Night rod or Fatboy Lo?
Looking at getting a new bike these are the 2 that i like the most! Right know im liking the Night rod a little more but.. Here are my thoughts.. Night rod likes.. long lean and mean looking, Blacked out, Love the 240 tire, water cooled, 125 horsepower! Fatboy likes.. Almost blacked out but still has the sinister look, Still have a love in my heart for the fat gas tank, its really comfy, more customizable make it your own, love the front end, easy to make loud. Dislikes.. Night rod. not as comfy,cant really customize it as much. Fatboy lo.. 2000 dollars more, rear fender, cheap looking satin chrome, only 63 horsepower.. Just looking for some thoughts or points i havent thought of yet!!

Sorry not tying to offend you! Its JMO.. I just think regular chrome or black would look better in some spots on it! Like for example the pipes should be all black..

Really it depends on what type of rider you are. Is speed important? Or is it style? Old school or new school? Stop and go in the city, or long highway tours? The bikes are designed for different riders. What do you want it to do for you?

You're comparing apples to hamburgers. They're in 2 totally different worlds. I'd personally go with the Fatboy Lo, but then I can't stand the V-Rod.

Wow, those are two completely different bikes. It all depends on what you are wanting it for. Are you wanting to go on long rides, be comfortable, and be able to customize it to your own liking? Or are you just wanting to take short cruises, go fast, and have the "muscle bike" styling?

Ya i would deff agree with you on that point! But i will have to see the prices for the 2012 bikes since they are getting a bigger engine! Night rod is staying the same but the softails and dynas are getting the 103 inch! Im guessing that will make the prices go up on those. Plus im guessing they will run hot as hell too!
