2024 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Buyer’s Guide: Specs, Photos, Price

The latest-generation model, introduced in 2018 was available with 107ci or 114ci Milwaukee-Eight engines until 2020, when the full-fat M-8 114 engine became the only option. The M-8 114 is, amazingly, the smallest-capacity Big Twin currently in the lineup, and produces a claimed 94 hp at 4,750 rpm and 119 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. So even though the Fat Boy doesn’t use the 117ci engine like other models in the cruiser lineup (e.g., Breakout 117, Low Rider S, Low Rider ST), it hardly feels like a blight on its copybook. While it’s an intentionally bare-bones motorcycle, ABS and cruise control come standard. To quote David Edwards’ parting thoughts from 1990: “But it still has a silly name.” In the long run, it doesn’t seem like that’s hurt it.
