2000 Harley Davidson FLSTF

Pros: Resale, good engine, history lesson, fashion statement, aftermarket, gas mileage
Cons: Price, ease of damaging if dropped(god forbid it was crashed)

Introduction
If you ask someone that doesn't own a motorcycle which motorcycle they like the most. More often than not you'll get the answer "Fat Boy".

Why? Because it is an awesome motorcycle. I think it is one of the...

Pros: It's a handsomely crafted piece of driving machine
Cons: The price tag

1998 FLSTF Fatboy 1340CC carborated (Softtail) I was second in line waiting for 5 hours to put money down on a bike and had to wait 6 months to receive it. I got a factory custom color which really helps individualize your bike. Introduction If your ...

Pros: Smoothness, brakes
Cons: Price

Of all Harleys I am a fan of the FL Softail. Despite their perceived shortcomings (vibrate too much, don't handle, and scrape when heeled over) I've always enjoyed riding them and accepted the above as part of the bike's character. For me the 16"...

Pros: Looks, smoothness, power and Good old harley service
Cons: Keeping it clean

I have been riding Harleys for about 16 yrs. My first, like many people was a ratty old sporster (1976). Then I went to a Shovel head (a mix and match 80-82) Then in 1987 I bought a brandnew Lowrider ( a rubbermount). I loved the look of the Softails,...

Pros: large engine, loud pipes, and everything else is good
Cons: nothing is wrong with this bike

Motorcycles are one of the best ways to express freedom. The most sought after brand is the Harley-Davidson. It was one of the first brands to appear in the year of 1903. Harley-Davidson has faced many hardships but has overcome them all. This give...

Pros: Great looks, American classic, excellent resale value
Cons: Price tag, waiting list

Everyone has heard of Harley Davidson. They have become an American icon. Regardless of the quality of their bikes, they have one of the best marketing departments in the world.

At some point in the last 10 to 20 years, Harley Davidson must...

Pros: Great power, suspension, and sound. A blast to ride!
Cons: Tough clutch to handle in stop and go situations.

Dring my honeymoon to Kauai, my wife and I rented a pair of Harleys. Even though it rained most of the day, we still had fun rumbling around the island. My first impression of the bike was that it was much lighter than my father's Road King and much...

Pros: Fun bike with gobs of character, resale value, looks
Cons: expensive

My experience is with the 1999 model, mind you, with the 1,340cc EVO motor. You know the 2000 and up soft tails have been completely redesigned, for the better? Maybe.

The Fat Boy is more about character than about handling, smoothness, and...

Pros: Great power, suspension, and sound. A blast to ride!
Cons: Tough clutch to handle in stop and go situations.

Cons: 1 con

This motorcycle is a must see & must ride and a must buy!!! You people out their that ride Harley Davidson's know what I mean. The feeling of the power between your legs you can not explain it on a screen you have to drive to experience it!! The main...

Pros: Smooth Twin Cam 88 B Engine
Cons: No Tachometer

I have always liked the Fatboy since its introduction in 1990. However, the one thing I could not get used to on all the test rides I took was the vibration and the fact that at around 60 mph, my feet would literally vibrate right off the floorboards....

Pros: Genuine ride and feel
Cons: Numb cheeks and fingers

In the market for a new or used Harley-Davidson? As an avid rider and one who is frequently asked by those looking to invest in a Harley-Davidson about whether to look for bikes in the Softtail family with the older Evolution (80 cubic inch) engine...

Pros: clean lines, comfy seat
Cons: if you're looking to do a lot of miles, this isn't as good as the Road King Classic

According to others:
You don't need to throw a leg over the Fat Boy to know it's different. But no one would blame you if you did. It's a rider favorite. Look no further than the new counter-balanced Twin Cam 88B power train to see the...

Pros: Great Bike.
Cons: NONE!

Although these new Harleys are a lot quieter than the old ones I still like their style. I think Harley should've stayed with the old loud engines though. This 2000 FLSTF (Fat Boy) is a great bike. It can be used for across the country trips or just a...

Pros: classic look
Cons: not mechanically dependable

No doubt about it, riding this motorcycle is a great experience. With the Classic look and style and of course the Harley legend. However, it is from personal experience that the new breed of Harley Davidson motorcycles are not very dependable. I feel...
