2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy epitomizes the slammed boulevard cruiser look, but The Motor Company took it one step further with the Fat Boy Lo, which offers an even lower, darker appearance.
The FatBoy Lo has appealed to the rider who seeks that aggressively low cruiser look, and it returns badder than ever for 2012 with a bigger motor. Replacing last year’s 96 V-Twin is the Rigid-mounted, counter-balanced Twin Cam 103B V-Twin engine.
And added to the usual black-bullet hole wheels and denim black frame are some new controls; the 2012 Fat Boy Lo features a low-profile, 1.25-inch internally-wired handlebar.
Add anti-lock brakes and a 6-speed transmission, and the idea of your typical boulevard cruiser just took on an entirely new meaning.
