In 2014, Harley-Davidson launched the Fat Boy, a cruiser motorcycle known for its fat, muscular appearance, distinctive stylings, powerful engines, and signature features, such as the full disc aluminum wheels, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and copper-style rear fender.
Some of the highlights of the 2014 machine included the internally-wired handlebar, a large, round headlight with a chromed housing, a two-piece dual seat with a removable passenger unit, a dual shotgun-style chromed exhaust system, and stylish black powder-coated engine with chrome head covers and cooling fins.
The 2014 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy was powered by a 1,690cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that offered smoother throttle response, faster acceleration, and delivered 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
In the braking department, the bike packed a single disc with a four-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
As for suspension, the machine was built on a tubular steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front end. The rear end was handled by a horizontal-mounted concealed shock absorber with a hardtail design.
In 2014, the bike had an MSRP of $17,699 in a Vivid Black livery, while in 2023, at the time of writing, the bike was for sale at an average price of $10,000.
