HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Boy (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy was a cruiser machine manufactured since 1990, known for its muscular and wide appearance, powerful engine, and distinctive classic styling. The bike was also known as FLSTF from 1990 to 2017 and FLFB and FLFBS from 2018.

In 2012, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, which once again came with a displacement increase from 1,584cc to 1,690cc. The engine was fitted with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system and delivered more power and torque than its predecessor.

In addition, the bike received a new low-profile internally-wired handlebar and new color options, along with earlier features, such as a factory-installed H-D Smart Security System with a hands-free fob, ABS, and more.

As for appearance, the bike rolled on bullet-hole full aluminum disc wheels covered by a chopper-style rear fender and a custom front fender, a dual chromed exhaust system, a Fat Bob-styled fuel tank, a round headlight, and a two-piece dual seat with a removable passenger unit.

In the performance department, the 2012 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy packed a black-powder 1,690cc air-cooled V-twin engine with chromed head covers and cooling fins, delivering smooth throttle response, fast engine acceleration, and 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.

The bike's MSRP was $16,349 as new, and in 2023, the bike was for sale at an average price of $7,500.
