The Harley Fat Boy model features a Twin Cam 103 Harley engine with 6 speed cruise drive transmission. A nice clean, minimal look. 16 inch front wheel, and a cool blacked style, give this new Harley a semi-custom look.
I believe that the majority of the Harley rider fans do not know the urban legend that surrounds the Harley-Davidson ‘Fat Boy’ motorcycle. The story goes something like this . . . the original Harley-Davidson fat boy motorcycle was designed to represent the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan.
If you put some thought into this, would a consumer driven company design any product named after a bomb, and no ordinary bomb, but one that killed tens of thousands of people? Well, of course not, yet the rumor persisted for many years to the dismay of the Harley-Davidson management.
Actually, credible sources attribute the name “Fat Boy” to the fact that this motorcycle looks rather wide when viewed head-on.
