I like the Fat Boy Slim! Betcha that will become its street name!

 

They may give the Blackline one more year as to use up all the parts they have. Never seen on on the road. But another Fatboy?? or a redesigned Fatboy. Hell they should just slap some hard bags on a softail and call it new, they are saying baggers are the rage

 

that sporty has some potential.. the fatboy is going to go the way of the rocker and crossbones.. they got the softail form rite in 84.. stop trying to reinvent it.

 

Ha ha!! Really !!
Fatboy Slim? Is that an oxy-moron?

"Yes, I'll have a double whopper with cheese, a large order of fries
and a diet coke please"

Gotta see it in person. Sometimes the pictures just don't do
them justice (sometimes). Look at the FLD when it was introduced.
That red color? I thought it was ok. But when I saw it in person . . .
WOW !!!! I really like that bike AND that red color.
THe Sporty looks good though (yet another Sportster?)

 

They both seem pretty cool to me..

the blackline would have sold double if they wouldnt have had those terrible stock bars...

Even though I have a xbonz w/ the tractor seat, if it would have came with a standard softail seat, it woud have prob sold a ton more as well

As for the rocker, not my style, but it sold well here in southern wv..quite a few guys on them..

 

Imo the slim looks like a fat bob with a blackline rear. They didn't pull the bobber look off in my eyes.

 

I'm not sure of others, but I ride a Harley because of the history associated with the name, and the camaraderie between Harley riders.

 

Honestly, I agree with the previous poster that a liquid cooler is ugly as sin, the classical look of the Engine bare in the wind is what makes the bike beautiful, if they do so, I will move to Yamaha <their Star line is air cooled too>.

Look at any Honda bike, you see this ugly black thing in the front of the frame behind the rear wheel, I just can't bring myself to stand it .

I love the slim line though, I think the fatboy should never have gone 200 in the back, it just does not fit, I wish the slim tank is also slimmer, that would be AWESOME.

 

another photo from HD's Facebook page.

Also..the Slim's handlebars remind me of an old BMX bike's bars

 

i think the new fatboy slim has a badass look... i'm in the process of blacking out my heritage and i wondered why HD hadn't offered a dark custom FL yet.


i agree about the BMX bars but i think overaLL it's an awesome blend of vintage & newskool.
