2022 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Buyer’s Guide [Specs + More]




Sporting plenty of chrome, a big Milwaukee-Eight 114 powerplant, and a fat 240mm rear tire, the 2022 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 makes a big splash at the local watering hole. Also grabbing the attention of everyone in the vicinity are the thick Lakester aluminum wheels, square headlight, and prominent tank-mounted dash.Slung low with floorboards and ready to accommodate a comely passenger, the Fat Boy 114 epitomizes the cruiser ethos. The 119 ft-lbs delivered by the powerplant move the 699-pound motorcycle around with authority, and the Showa suspension provides an impressive ride. Good handling manners and Michelin Scorcher 11 tires make it a pleasant ride through the twisties to any destination.Although the base price is reduced this year, ABS is now an $819 option. Also, there’s a vague $750 “surcharge” on the 2022 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114, which bumps up the base Vivid Black model over the $20,000 mark.We have tested the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114Studio photography by Clutch Studios2022 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Specs ENGINE
