The FatBob 114 and the FXDR are rated 1 ft-lb. of torque apart......the FXFBS having 118 - the FXDR 119. The two are also only 8 pounds away from each other in running order weight with the FatBob being the heavier one. Both listed with the same gear ratio's.
I know, i saw the torque numbers before i rode it. Basically identical. BUT,it felt torqueier down low. Maybe a different tune with the intake and 2 into 1 exhaust? Sounds deeper and louder getting on it from low rpm. Sounds good for stock believe it or not.

yes. The FXDR handles corners quite well. Just too funky looking.
Take a close look at some of the import crotch rockets coming out, harley once again is jumping a bandwagon trying to muscle into a growing looks trend. Seen several bikes with that goofy looking exhaust configuration recently. Overall body style my first thoughts where the 1971 shovelhead Boattail FX that went over like a fart in church.
It is different. I would take one if you gave it to me. I would probably last 15 minutes on it before I would have to get off. I am 66. On the other hand, I found my 2002 VROD to be one of the most comfortable bikes I ever rode.
