I take you along on my Demo ride of a 2023 Harley Davidson Fat Bob during the Homecoming Rally. These Demo rides were at the Harley Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, WI
I haven’t however I’m not a big fan of the Street Bob look. Something about the fuel tank looks a little off to me. Or maybe it’s the Mini Ape looking bars. Something just seems odd. But I’ll have to give it a ride the next chance I get.
Thanks for watching. I’m 5’11 and have a 30 inch inseam. Super fun day rider. Front fat tire makes it a little slow cornering but you can still push it through the twisty roads.
Is it any easier to handle than the street Bob. Just demoed a new one and didn’t like it at all. To heavy and unruly. Engine didn’t sound feel like a Harley.
The heavy feeling is mostly due to the fat front tire. It would take a little more grunt to slice through the corners which a rider would get used to. As for the sound, well the M8 in my opinion HAS lost some of the Harley “potato” sound but that can be brought back with a little cam upgrade. The M8 is a much smoother feeling engine as well and can be easily turned into a monster torque engine with some simple upgrades which in my opinion is far superior than what you get from a Twin Cam after some major upgrades. The M8 was definitely a nice step in the right direction for Harley.
@@fxdx68 Lol. I thought the same thing. Harley Davidson sets the route and if you stray from it they will kick you off the test rides. They keep track of you by the order you leave and return by electronically scanning a bar code on the bike as you leave and return to the demo location. I seen two people asked to leave because they took a different route. Sorry the video disappointed you. Well not really. lol.
@@Badgerbiker shame, it is dificult to repport any feeling about the bike under these conditions...... Could be any bike, what dif between a HD and a Kawa at 55mph on a straight line?
