Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1800 SOFTAIL FAT BOY S FLSTFBS 2016 Beef heart

The Fat Boy is without doubt one of the most emblematic models of the Milwaukee-based brand. It perfectly embodies the spirit and idea of a Harley-Davidson. Time goes by, and the desire to rebel never ceases to haunt him. So, with his buddy Slim, he decided to develop a new family, soberly named S.

for special? No, for Scream'in Eagle. The Fat Boy S is powered by the brand's biggest twin: the 1801 cm3 Twin Cam 110 ci, here in its B version (with a balancer). Until now, this block was reserved for machines leaving the CVO department. It's a great way to accelerate, get back into the Power Cruiser spirit, and get your heart racing thanks to this engine's generous torque. From the 1690 of the Fat Boy to the 1801 of the Fat Boy S, the mkgs overflow the crankshaft. From 13.4 mkg to 14.8 mkg, at a higher rpm of 750. Which is to say, you'll want to be generous when the throttle is applied.

powerful and, above all, dark. The Fat Boy S has drowned in the night. Apart from a few chrome accents, the whole bike is covered in black. Full wheels right down to the Shotgun exhausts! This Softail doesn't just borrow CVO engines. It also takes its cues from the Fat Boy Special, with its aluminum rims pierced by a perimeter of bullet-sized holes. Lovers of fine mechanics will spend more time detailing the engine. The air filter emblazoned with the famous "Scream'in Eagle" barely conceals black-painted cylinders enhanced by machined fins.

Style is timeless while technology invades. The Fat Boy S is equipped with ABS, cruise control, the H-D Smart safety system, a new braking system that reduces lever effort by 40%, new, more ergonomic controls and a new electronic throttle management system. The chunky seat contrasts with the chunky side of this "Fat" motorcycle, featuring an imposing fuel tank, huge tires - 140 and 200 mm, which are great for looks but not really for handling -long, half-moon-shaped running boards capable of supporting huge rangers, a stout tank with a leather band running through it, and handlebars as wide as a wrestler's shoulders. This 1800 Fat Boy S is a menace to nightmares, with a heart as generous as American steel.
