撰写The first time I saw Harley’s fat boy/fat boy was in the movie Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Schwarzenegger started with his bare hands. He was completely ready at once. "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle." When Schwarzenegger rode it down from the high platform and my nose flowed through the river, I planted a grass in my heart.
After that, the fat man became famous and became one of the best-selling models of Harley family. Today, we will bring you a brand-new fat boy/fat boy.
Harley introduced the fat model in 1990, and now it is almost thirty years old. Maybe the name Fat Man sounds greasy, but when you see a real car, you will only feel "big and expensive". A lot of chrome-plated decoration on the car will give you two feelings, on the one hand, it is expensive, on the other hand, it will make the car look heavy.
Headlights are almost all satin chrome plated. At first glance, it looks like a steel head. If you look closely, the satin chrome plating is still very textured and feels silky. The LED headlights are integrated with the two thick front forks, and the visual effect is very exaggerated. In addition to the Harley parade, the fat man’s front face should be the most "sturdy". The tire width is 160mm, and the rear tire is exaggerated by 240 mm. With solid wheels, it looks like Maibakh’s pancake hub.
As a retro model, there are some classic retro elements. The shape of the round turn signal and rearview mirror is what we want. Fat boy’s framework comes from Soft Tail in 1984. It looks like a rigid hard-tailed chassis, but it actually has a hidden spring swing arm. The parts of the new softtail frame are reduced by 50%, the welding parts are reduced by 22%, the overall rigidity of the frame is also improved, and the weight of the new fat boy is reduced by 14kg compared with the previous generation. At the same time, in order to facilitate the adjustment of riders, a knob with adjustable preload is added to the right side of the car body.
New soft-tailed frame
The new Fat Boy is equipped with a brand-new Milwaukee eight-seat four-valve engine, with two options: Milwaukee eight-seat 107 engine (1745mL) and Milwaukee eight-seat 114 engine (1868mL).
The displacement of this 114 engine reaches 1868cc, the maximum torque is 146n·m, and it can explode at 3250 rpm. No matter in any gear, as long as you are willing to give oil, you will have a strong pulling feeling immediately. Vigorous exhaust sound and brutal dragging will instantly conquer your body and soul.
The princess’s ergonomic design is very comfortable, and the seat height is only 675 mm. The spacious front seat is like a big sofa, and with the adjustable front pedal, the overall sitting posture is very comfortable. The back seat is short and there is no comfort at all. Short-distance emergency in the city can also be done. If the distance is a little longer, it is really a kind of torture.
At the speed of about 60-80km/h, the engine speed is kept below 2,000rpm, which is the most comfortable cruising mode for fat people. The heat of the 1.8L crotch engine is still happy in winter, and the crotch and the inner thigh are fine, and the heat is mainly concentrated in the calf. It should be a very painful thing to ride a fat man and wait for a red light in summer. In order to ensure a lower center of gravity, the fat man’s gearbox is designed to be flatter and wider, so he feels the heat in his calf is higher. But the low center of gravity can be exchanged for a lighter sense of control, which makes the 304kg fat boy drive more smoothly than the lighter X48.
In addition, safer than the X48 is a larger fuel tank, reaching 18.9 liters. Riding in urban areas can ensure a cruising range of more than 200km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is about 7L.
