Harley-Davidson Sportster S vs Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Comparison

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S certainly has a lot going for it. Great looks, a punchy engine, and all the latest electronics and chassis components that you may seek in a thoroughly modern motorcycle. But the lack of suspension travel, and the feet forward riding position robs the Sportster S of comfort and practicality. Limited fuel tank capacity, and ergonomics aren’t suitable to take the Sportster S out for a long-ish ride. As a motorcycle, the new Sportster S makes a solid case as a modern-day Harley-Davidson. The design may have polarising opinions, particularly from the ‘classic’ Harley faithful. Despite its negatives, it does make for an attractive proposition, if it’s a quintessential Harley-Davidson one is looking for, in a more modern, performance-oriented avatar.

The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is the quintessential hot-rod cruiser and it is currently on sale in India. It is a style-statement by itself and can be ridden hard too, if required. The Fat Bob offers ridiculous amounts of torque and shove and can be a decent motorcycle to ride in the city as well but on long, open highways is where it shines the brightest.
