The Appeal
Few bikes can be considered as iconic as the Harley Davidson and among them the Fat Boy is one of the most loved. Of course it’s easy to see why, pure classic americana made real in an expanse of low-riding chrome and noise, the Fat Boy is a bike that was designed to make an impact wherever it goes.
Presented in the original blue and beige with less than 10,000 miles on the clock this Fatboy is in superb condition and presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the legendary bikes with such a low mileage. It’s ready to ride, and once you hear the distinctive rumble of the big V-twin all you’ll want to do is find some open road and wind it up.
