You need to put away some preconceptions when getting aboard the Fat Bob, especially if you have never ridden a Harley before. According to received wisdom (or at least the version kept alive by segments of the British motorcycle press), a Harley is a soft cruiser for old men. Harley’s are outdated, underpowered, handle like hippo’s on roller skates, and have, so it’s said, velocity-challenged braking.

But the Fat Bob is none of those things and indeed across the Harley range, such sentiments are themselves becoming out of date. Somewhat to his astonishment, our mechanic found the Fat Bob to be a good handling, well braked motorcycle more than up to coping with British roads. Above all the bike produced a brilliantly enjoyable ride – simple grin-wideningly fun. This verdict will come as even more of a surprise when you realise that our guy came to the Fat Bob fresh from the fastest V4 in our line up.

The ethos of the Fat Bob is that of a everyday street motorcycle, but one that prefers to just ride rather than to race or cruise. The bike enjoys travelling through the urban playground, seeing and being seen, rather more than it does than racing between traffic lights or around the ring road. No surprise there, but it also likes to remind you that you’re on a real bike – somethings with a raw edge. The bike looks good in the urban role, but it’s not just about pose value.

If your riding is about escape from the mundane and everyday; if you want to treat yourself to something gorgeous to look in a delightfully pointless and wanton sort of way; if you’ve a desire to feel the air rushing past your head and if you like the sound of a real engine, then the Harley is a good choice. Cobblers to the critics – chuck Fast Blokes on the fire – this bike is day-long fun.
