Pros
Cons
Verdict
The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.
Pros
Cons
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.
