2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is one of the original heavyweight boulevard cruisers, providing motorcyclists with all the “fat” essentials – 200mm rear tire, low-profile wide bars and super-fat fenders.

For 2012, Harley continues this fat tradition, but with the addition of an even fatter powerplant; replacing the 96 V-Twin for 2012 is the counter-balanced, Twin Cam 103B engine. The 103 V-Twin, which pushes 98.7 ft.lbs of torque, is hooked to a 6-Speed Cruise Drive Transmission, providing optimal gearing.

Also new for 2012 are the internally-wired, 1.25-inch low handebars, with the option of a security package and ABS.
