Harley rolled out a new lineup of bikes! People's reactions have been varied across the board. Some people love the new bikes, some hate em. Loads are upset the Dyna has seemingly been absorbed by the Softail line (that's another video entirely.)
Keeping in line with the previous test rides I've done on the 2018 Softail line, the Fat Boy has some great power at the twist of the wrist, comfortable ergonomics, good suspension and more. Watch the video for more insight!
Special thank again to Aaron and Orlando Harley for letting me test ride the new Harley lineup! Connect with Aaron on his social networks below:

Put down a deposit for a custom blacked out 2018 Fat Boy the other day.. Going to be a very nice thing to come home to after this deployment!

Thanks for the service to your country.

@TonySK78 7 лет назад

The headlight is AWESOME! It's mean, looks like if Arnie ran the Fat Boy through the T-1000 in Terminator 2 and something got stuck to the front light. I love that transition between the old and the futuristic

This is now my favourite Harley. I'm seriously thinking of turning in my 2017 48 for one of these.

Ray Roman its a big difference but still a step in the right direction. Ride safe.

@leelucas2935 7 лет назад

Ray Roman i look at both the Fat Bob and the Fat boy today and Holy Cow them some Beefy bikes!!! Way more than i could ever handle

@leelucas2935 7 лет назад

PeterDad60 it ain't your skill and judgement you got to worry about! We motorcycle riders get no respect on the roads especially in the city

@leelucas2935 7 лет назад

PeterDad60 it really is too big for me not saying I couldn't ride it but it just doesn't fit

@cydonianman 7 лет назад

PeterDad60 it doesn't matter how big your bike is. It's still hard to be seen. And I ride a fatboy with aux headlamps. I still get people pull out in front of me. And it's because they got their phone up the damn side of their heads.

@jonnnywod4339 6 лет назад

I was on my 1991 fatboy at a set of traffic lights and and one of these 2018 pulled up next to me.You know what I’m proud to own a Harley-Davidson fatboy that’s nearly 30 years old a real classic. ✌🏻😎

@RobWhitt9 6 лет назад

To me this bike is Harley’s 2018 home run! I’ve never ridden on wide tires but I’ve got to give this a go and see if it’s for me.

@kirk9899 7 лет назад

Blockhead, I wasn't trying to give you too hard of a time in your last video. I do like your videos! Keep up the good work. I know if I were to get one of the bikes you test ride, I am sure I would push it hard all the time! Not just the couple of times you did in your last video. :)

Great review, stunning looking bike just ordered one over here in the UK in that beautiful Tempest Black. This video helped me make my mind up, thanks for that.

@ronbookhouse6759 6 лет назад

2018 Fat boy Looks awesome, with that 240mm rear tyre, the headlight looks ultra modern, satin chrome all these add up for an Urban age Muscle Brawler*****

@darrenwalsh6965 7 лет назад

This is a sensational looking bike - looking forward to seeing them in the flesh when they arrive here in Australia soon.

Can't wait to ride one... saw it at the local East Orlando HD... beautiful bike. It will be difficult to resist getting one... I just need the frenzy of the new to wear out and dealers start making real deals with them...

@Raje617 4 года назад

Totally fell in love with this one. Easy to ride, leans great and plenty of power. Very comfortable as well. I'm 5'9, 140 lbs for reference.

@cinkmoot 2 года назад

Plenty of power alright. You're 140. Lol. I'm 160 and i pity 260lb guys.

@maximumeffortflsb2715 6 лет назад

New member to your channel I'm in Tampa and I currently have a 2013 Iron 883 HD Sportster and I was thinking of going to a low rider s but since seeing your video on the 2018 Breakout I may have to test ride it out. My partner has a 2010 Fatboy and I may have to show him this video. Very informative. Keep up the great content sir.

Liked your ride critique. Might upgrade this year or next year. I ride a 03 Fatboy and I love it. I've rode it for 10 years now. BTW, I scrape the floorboards ALL THE TIME when banking. turns, on-ramps. it doesn't matter. Thanks for the demo ride. SCRAPE THOSE FLOORBOARD if you buy one. You'll learn to love it. Trust me

@MarkSmith-nr6ic 7 лет назад

I ride the '16 Fat Boy S, so I'm not sold on this '18 model yet. Do like the monoshock, the 240, the 114. Headlight nacelle not so much. Will see if it grows on me😎

@davebrandle4075 5 лет назад

Don’t worry about scrubbing the floorboards, I ride a fatboy and can counter steer 30 degrees before this happens even when I scrub the bottom of the floorboards nothing happens the bike just keeps cruising through, I had a hard transition from my V65 magma to the fatboy until I learnt how to trail break changed my cornering technique forever 👍🇨🇦

@BLUEFADE22 7 лет назад

I've got a 2013 Fatboy with 43,000 miles on it...Runs like a raped ape...I didn't like the changes to this new machine, at first but it's beginning to grow on me...I'm going to test ride the thing before I pass judgment on it...As a long time Harley rider, it's the only FAIR thing to do!

@artsbest1 6 лет назад

A muscle cruiser is what the 2018 M8 114 represents. I love it. A knowledgeable HD man is your host. And that dealership is amazing looking. Would like to see a truncated rear fender and single seat on this bike. With some headers of course.

@rinkukoradi2539 5 лет назад

The new M8 Fat boy is an Urban Muscle Brawler 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the Baddest Fat boy ever with that 240 mm at the rear & 160 mm at upfront & the modern headlamp is sure to connect with the younger riders💪 coming to people who are Worried about the Old school look of the 🦅Harley Davidson, bro you have the Deluxe & the Heritage which are Classic to the core 👊👊👊👊👊

@darrenwalsh6965 6 лет назад

Looks so cool...

@edm163 7 лет назад

Have any of the 2018's you've ridden made you seriously consider trading in your Low Rider S? Would you rank them as favorite to least favorite please?

@toddoverby5538 7 лет назад

I generally resist any updates on Harleys. I like the old stuff. At least old now. I have a 2001 Fatboy. I love the Deluxe and softails in general but I am ok with the updates. I may change my mind when I see them in person but I feel it is time to progress a bit and give new riders more of what they are looking for. Not totally, but a little bit. I feel that with this refresh it will revive some of the stale aftermarket stuff you have been seeing for years. Same stuff since the hayday of the OCC and biker buildoff. Nothing is new or fresh. This will open the doors for new and creative items for Harley and the aftermarket. If you want an old style softail, go get one. The market is flooded with them. And the market is becoming stale. Why buy a new bike when it's the same as all the barely rode new ones out there. Give it some time. If they suck, then you can hate on it. I hope the best for Harley.

@twiggyb67 7 лет назад

You are right. Traditional enthusiasts seem to be shunning the changes in `18....But a lot of them unfortunately are aging and retiring from riding. Harley`s sales have been down for this reason. They have to infuse the new with the old to bring the younger generation into showrooms. I love the 18 Fatboy. I am 55 myself.

@toddoverby5538 7 лет назад

I am 47 and have been riding Harleys for 20 years. I hate change but I want to see American motorcycle manufacturing do well. I did not want to see Victory go away either. I will tell you this, I was at Sturgis this year and saw a lot more Indians than I ever thought I would. They're not for me but if everyone rode what I like, I wouldn't like it anymore anyway.

@rasersedge2004 6 лет назад

Like your sentiments guys, and i'm right with you and nearly ready to drop my dime on a 2018 114 FatBoy. I had an '07 96" FB before and a 14 103" switchback in the middle, I think the old looks is cool still, but stale. I'm in two minds on the headlight, but no one else around here has one, so I'll keep it.

@Xr8Crue 6 лет назад

Just took a test ride diwn at Harley Heaven in Dandenong. Absolutely loved it. All the Harley purists should take one of the 2018 models for a test ride before they dismiss them. I know this is purely personal but I really believe Harley has nailed it.

@matrox 7 лет назад

Gotta admit though that cruisers look really cool on kickstands where the bike is leaning way over at a steep angle. I'll hold on to my '04 Harley with 43k miles miles for now. It treats me right so I will treat it right.

@jeffreyrainey1015 5 лет назад

I realize that this has nothing to do with the bike, but I love the beat in the beginning. Was that directly from Chuki's youtube channel, or was it something custom and specific? I've searched high and low, well before the date this video was published, and for the life of me I cannot find it. The man is a machine, and his titles are not exactly easy to index. Thanks much.

@richarddobbins9184 7 лет назад

Maybe it's just the stock exhaust but these bikes don't sound like Harley's to me. They just don't seem to have that deep rumble. That crack that while idling that I have come to know and love. Other than that I like em.

@gertklay4648 5 лет назад

Have you tried the Softail Slim as well? How would you compare them as to riding position and cornering?

@469LG 7 лет назад

Please do the 2018 low rider also.

@noelpogiako1 7 лет назад

Hi Bloockhead, How to you compare the ride between the Fat Boy and the Breakout? I did the try the Fat Bob and Breakout but I missed to ride the Fat Boy that time. Let me know how do you feel about the Fat Boy Thanks.

@TonysGarage 7 лет назад

I think the shake is one of the things that makes a Harley a Harley. Alittle bummed that the dyna line up is gone.

Does anyone know the Horsepower figures on the 107 and 114? I guess I'd like to know say the 0-60mph time of like the 2018 114 Fat Bob vs a modern sport bike like the Z800 or something.

@sorryidgaf.6043 5 лет назад

What’s better older fat boy or new fatboy? I’m looking at a 2015 and a 2018 now.

@ut1004bp 3 года назад

I will point out to you, since you mentioned it twice about the easy pick up off the side stand, if the tires are low profile (as they are) they tend to do less lean angle on the kick stand.. Tall tires sizes require shorter kickstands (incase you have a flat while parked the bike doesn't fall over).. Nothing magical about the shallow lean angle for it has short or low profile tires, when you lift your weight off the bike the springs raise the angle alittle more. A couple comments on the looks, that clutch cable and The right side passenger foot peg looks totally out of place. I didn't hear a comment on engine buzz/vibration at higher rpms, which is what i'm curious about(?)

@encrypt3dbr0k3r 5 лет назад

BRO can you do an updated review for 2019 when you get some time?

@priestof1 6 лет назад

Weird, this used to be my favorite bike. Then this look came out and I didn't like it at all. I got drawn by the road glide ad then POW! The 2018 heritage was it. Now I'm actually, after some time, starting to like it again. The heritage though is beautiful along with the road glide. Still am not shelling out 30k for one so I'll stick to the one I have now.

@rochdaigle9733 7 лет назад

question on the fatboy.....the left gas cap is no longer a gas guage ... so is it cosmetic now? or is a, actual gas cap again ???

@patmanwainwright3423 6 лет назад

interesting fast the FAT BOY was named after the 2 BOMS drooped on Japan in world war 2 the Little Boy and the Fat Man also the badge on the tank is cause the bike is a tribute to VETS so that why they wont change it the holes that were in the wheels on older models were suppose to be bullet holes but in 2018 model they moved the bullet holes to the strip on the tank going to the seat but over all i really like the new look i think its a Awesome bike i have test road one and it was great ok well that is all what up blockhead

@Smith-re6jq 6 лет назад

I like Harley motorcycles to a point. I own one myself. I have to say they are now quick enough to have fun on in my day to day ridding. Talking stalk bikes and not v-rod. (prior sport bike rider) but now that Harley has pushed there performance further they need the breaks to match. I test rode a 2018 Street Bob 107 the other day. Where I live the elevation is over 6000 ft. so power performance is hampered and I am not a big guy at 190# although I constantly had the feeling that I had more power than breaking capability. I don't need sport bike level of breaking just breaks to match the bike from factory. I know the buyer can put on a dual front disc setup on the Street Bob but the point is they should not have to. I do realize Harley does have bikes with more breaking power but if Harley is going to compete they need to adapt to the buyers and as there products improve they need to improve the safety as well. I am well aware that there is some guy out there that has a bike that runs 9's on the street that only has a rear break. I don't care. Give me better breaks Harley. Additional notation... The new suspension setup on these bikes is excellent. Good job Harley.

@rochdaigle9733 7 лет назад

final question .. on the fatty.. what is that between the frame down tubes ??? it looks like a rad ??? is that why the front fender is boned so hi to push air to the rad ? or is it cosmetic .. and are there "other pipes" for,these yet?.. thanks man.. I'm sure there is little to no aftermarket part yet for these... but it's interesting look...thanks again

Another reviewer said that at 5'11" he felt a little cramped up, implying that maybe the bike was designed for a certain group height. How tall are you and did you find this to be the case? I'm 6'1".
