Harley Davidson Fat Boy launched

Harley Davidson has launched the much awaited cruiser motorcycle Harley Davidson Fat Boy in India today. The HD motorcycle is priced at Rs 19.70 lakh. The bookings for the new bike will start from this month.



With this Harley Davidson 2011 motorcycles number has gone up to 15 bikes in India. This motorcycle is offered under the brand name of Harley Davidson Softail.

Before launching this new bike in India, the Harley Davidson motorcycles launched three new bikes in India including Harley Davidson Forty Eight, Harley Davidson SuperLow and Harley Davidson Iron 883. To put the Fat Boy Harley Davidson bike for sale, the American bike company has tied up with HDFC Bank for providing finance to its dealers and customers. Earlier it had tied up with ICICI Bank for the same purpose.

Dressed in satin chrome, the Harley Davidson FAT BOY Special model features a reshaped seat and handlebar that places its rider "in" the motorcycle, with the lowest seat height of any Harley Davidson model. The half-moon footboards, black wheels and leather tank panel help Fat Boy Special rock to a singular, fat-custom beat. The Fat Boy Special is a Harley Davidson Softail model with a rear-suspension design that mimics the lines of a vintage hardtail frame, but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. A horseshoe oil tank located below the seat, forward foot controls or foot boards, and the classic five-gallon fuel tank are notable styling details of each Softail model.

A counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B V-Twin powertrain, rigid-mounted in the frame, powers the Fat Boy Special model. The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine within the frame. Rated at 125 nm of peak torque at 3500 rpm, the engine features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and is finished in black powdercoat with bright machined highlights on the cylinder fins, and satin-chrome engine and primary drive covers. The 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission features a new helical-cut fifth gear for smooth operation.

Darker, with a lower seat positioning than the original icon of fat-custom style, the new Harley Davidson Fat Boy Special retains the bold presence of the original Fat Boy while offering a fresh interpretation of the motorcycle that still defines the segment. (Read More.........)
