Whether you’re cruising down the boulevard or taking on long highway stretches, the Fat Boy promises to turn heads and deliver an unforgettable riding experience. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Fat Boy 114 lies the formidable Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, boasting a displacement of 1,868 cc (113.99 cubic inches). This powerhouse produces a commendable 94 horsepower at 5,020 RPM and an impressive torque of 161.4 Nm (119 ft-lbs) at just 3,000 RPM, delivering robust acceleration that makes merging onto highways and overtaking a breeze. The engine's design features a compression ratio of 10.5:1 and utilizes Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection for smooth and responsive throttle control. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the Fat Boy 114 promises a refined riding experience that balances power and efficiency—boasting a fuel consumption rate of only 5.00 litres per 100 km (47.04 mpg). ### Key Features and Technology The 2023 Fat Boy 114 is not just about raw power; it is packed with advanced technology and features to enhance the riding experience. The motorcycle offers optional ABS for both the front double disc brakes and the rear single disc brake, ensuring superior stopping power and stability. The dual-bending valve front suspension combined with a hidden, coil-over monoshock rear suspension provides a plush ride, absorbing road imperfections while maintaining control. With a comfortable seat height of 658 mm (25.9 inches) and a weight of 304.4 kg (671.0 pounds), the Fat Boy strikes an excellent balance between stability and maneuverability. Other notable features include an electric starter, a cruise control system for long journeys, and a range of striking color options, including Vivid Black and Bright Billiard Blue, allowing riders to personalize their ride. ###
