Pros Cons of Harley-Davidson Fat Boy

Pros

  • Butch looking cruiser
  • Good Performance
  • Lots of pose value

Cons

  • Brand no longer in India
  • Difficult after sales
  • High cost of ownership

Verdict

The Fat Boy has a unique design and there is a generous dose of chrome and that is not all. It comes with a load full of features too. It features a wide FLH-style handlebar, a textured leather seat insert, custom metal fenders and a shotgun-style dual exhaust system. The Fat Boy is powered by a Twin Cam 103 1690cc engine that produces a generous amount of power and it's a highway cruiser so don't try and tame it by riding it in the city. It's clearly out of place there.

Verdict

The Kawasaki Vulcan is a mid-sized cruiser which gets a 649 cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine. The motor is tuned to make 60 bhp at 7,500 rpm, and a peak torque of 62.4 Nm at 6,600 rpm, while paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle tips the scales at 235 kg and comes with a 14 litres fuel tank. The seat height of the motorcycle is a low 705 mm. It is priced at Rs. 6.10 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is a decent option, perhaps one of the few options in the 650 cc cruiser segment.
