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

Pros: Great looks, American classic, excellent resale value
Cons: Price tag, waiting list
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

Pros: Fun bike with gobs of character, resale value, looks
Cons: expensive
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: accelerates fast, good handling
Cons: expensive
Summary: I just rode the 2000 Harley-Davidson FLSTF and I am pretty impressed. It handles like a charm which comes to no surprise to me since every Harley I have ever known has proven to do the same. It acclerates very quickly too and can reach speeds ... read more

Pros: Looks, smoothness, power and Good old harley service
Cons: Keeping it clean
Summary: 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, ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Smooth Twin Cam 88 B Engine
Cons: No Tachometer
Summary: 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. ... read more

Pros: Smoothness, brakes
Cons: Price
Summary: 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" ... read more

Pros: Great Bike.
Cons: NONE!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great Power, Great Sound, Great Ride!.
Cons: Vibration. Engine is very cold blooded.
Summary: I have had my 2000 Fatboy for a year now and must say that it is "almost" everything I had hoped for. I have ridden rice burners and a Sporty in the past but nothing compares to the Fatboy. First obvious thing you notice is that you feel the bike when
