HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Boy Special (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy was a cruiser machine manufactured by H-D since 1990. The bike was first released in 1990 and was also known as the FLSTF until 2017, and from 2018, it was coded as FLFB and FLFBS.

The Fat Boy featured a fat appearance and was loaded with classic-looking features, including a wide handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, valanced fenders, and full-disc aluminum wheels.

It was the base model for several versions, including the Fat Boy Special, which shared many design and technical features but had a darker appearance and few visual elements that made it look more aggressive.

In 2015, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Special, a more aggressive-looking machine than the standard model due to its darker appearance.

The bike featured a black powder-coated 1,690cc V-twin air-cooled engine with satin-chromed head covers and cooling fins, black fenders, black bullet-hole full-disc aluminum wheels, black exhaust pipes with satin-chromed mufflers, and blacked-out frame.

As for the power figures, the 2015 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Special was fitted with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, delivering smooth throttle response, fast acceleration, excellent fuel economy, and 132 Nm (97 lb-ft) torque at 3,250 rpm.

In 2015, at its release, the bike had an MSRP of $18,849; in 2023, it was for sale with a price ranging between $8,000 and $10,000.
