Overview

Embodying the spirit of rebellion and the open road, the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLSTFB Fat Boy Lo stands as a testament to the custom-cruiser genre. This motorcycle is designed for those who appreciate the classic Harley aesthetic, coupled with modern engineering and a touch of attitude. With a price tag of approximately $16,299, the Fat Boy Lo positions itself as an accessible option for both seasoned riders and newcomers looking to delve into the world of heavy cruisers. Its low-slung profile and robust design make it a standout in the Harley lineup, appealing to those who crave both style and substance. At the heart of the Fat Boy Lo lies a powerful 1584cc V2 four-stroke engine, which produces an impressive torque of 127 Nm at just 3000 RPM. This means that whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating city streets, you'll feel the bike's responsiveness and effortless power delivery. The 6-speed gearbox allows for smooth transitions, ensuring that the ride is as exhilarating as it is comfortable. The air-cooled engine, combined with the bike's low weight of 317.5 kg, creates an engaging riding experience, allowing riders to carve through corners and accelerate with confidence. The Fat Boy Lo is not just about raw power; it’s also packed with features that enhance rider comfort and safety. The mild steel tubular frame, with its rectangular backbone and meticulously crafted junctions, provides a solid foundation, while the hidden, horizontal-mounted rear suspension offers a plush ride. Notable braking performance is delivered through dual 292 mm single discs at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. Riders will appreciate the low seat height of 669 mm, which, combined with a ground clearance of 122 mm, allows for easy maneuverability and accessibility. Available in striking color options like Vivid Black and Black Denim, the Fat Boy Lo is as visually captivating as it is functionally adept. **
