2005 Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy Motorcycle reviews

I got my Fatboy used with right at 5,000 miles on it. It handles well for a big bike and it has all the torque you'll ever need for a bike of its size. The ride is comfortable just as it came from the factory. I'm really pleased with the engineers at Harley Davidson. (I think they may have ridden a few bikes). Show less

I must say that this is one of the finest and fastest bikes I've ever owned! It took a 2008 Screamin' Eagle Road King to make me even consider letting this one go. Well maintained, loaded to the nines, kept clean 24-7, and runs like a charm! The 95 ci engine was just getting loosened up at the 10,000 mark... I think this one is going to get even faster. The rider that gets this bike will get a motorcycle masterpiece. Food for thought! Show less

Got the '05 Fat Boy in September, and have put 1000 miles on her as of today. I have ridden interstate, city, and winding mountain roads. The lean angle means taking corners slow, but it's a look-cool bike, not a crotch rocket! Show less

Finally got delivery of the 2005 Fat Boy. It's been a long summer riding my 250 Yamaha Virago (but I did really love that bike and I'm glad I spent the two years learning to ride on it). Ordered a Fat Boy back in June. It's been a real dream to ride. It's taken me time to get use to the added power - I now can go more than 50 mph without having to do it going downhill. It has proven to be a great commuter bike - I ride it to and from work each day. I just hate to put it away at the end of the day. I did find out that you can kill the battery very quickly if you don't turn the ignition switch off so I will not do that again. Strange thing happened to me last week. I pretty much stayed at the speed limit and let drivers who want to go faster pass. I had a big black bike in the rearview mirror so I slowed down to let the guy pass but he slowed down. I didn't know what was going on and thought "here comes the mugging". I pulled up to the light and he pulled up along side of me, looked me over and said "nice bike!". Nobody ever said that to me with the Virago. I guess I now "belong" and I love it! Show less
