The 2013 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Softail is the iconic bike image easy to recognize by virtually anyone, biker or not.
If you're looking to ride a bike with such a commanding classic attitude but still loaded with all the modern-tech goodies, the Fat Boy is the right one. They don't call it "fat" just because it sounds cool: take a good look at the bike, and you'll understand immediately.

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Softail brings that awesome hardtail exterior design, but it also comes with all the comfort of the sculpted seat and hidden rear shocks, making it tough on the outside and soft and comfy on the inside.

Massive 200mm rear and 140mm front tires are loaded on lightweight bullet-hole cast aluminium wheels with a stunning chrome finish. And since we've gotten to talk chrome, the 2013 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Softail is fully-loaded: massive, fat forks behind a huge, classic headlight, chrome handlebars and mirrors, exhausts, tank-top gauges and engine accents. There is nothing left which could get chrome and didn't.

The 2013 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Softail is powered by another iconic element: the twin-Cam 103 unit, delivering massive torque at low revs and highways speed thanks to the new 6-speed gearbox.

Add in the full-length floorboards, low-profile handlebars and optional ABS, and you get the best the modern era has to offer in the classic image of a legendary bike. The 2013 Fat Boy prices start at $16,999 (€13,000).
