Isn't the latest model a more cruiser type? the foot pegs have been moved forward to give a more cruiser feel apparently.
There are different model options in the range.
Like what Harley Davidson offer?
Yes indeed...feel free to browse their website.
Can't knock the 2018 fatbob bloody brilliant bike

Each to their own...Harley Motorcycles are certainly growing in popularity around these parts.

They are still fucking horrible, overweight, noisy, ugly, slow shit handling pieces of shit in my eyes.

Proud to say I've never ridden one.

Wish I'd never sold mine. Great bike.

Beginning to think I'm done with bikes for good. Bought my MT-10 last May hoping to enjoy it again but it's done less than 1500 miles since and can't remember last time I rode it. Not in a hurry to ride it again either. Just seems like a pointless exercise these days.

Raydial · July 20, 2018, 01:15:23 PM

Those 1500 miles, what sort of mix of riding have they been? Has it been you going to the shops, solo trips to the coast, city riding, track days, rideouts?

I went through the same. I think you need to enjoy more than the odd ride out...... that's where it was failing for me.

What kept me going was that I had a bike I liked owning in the Buell...... I just liked having it and knowing it's not expensive meant that I was never tempted to sell.

Then I decided to find out what I liked about riding...... in all honestly I prefer going out on my own, ideally with a destination in mind, so a trip to Devil's Bridge on a Sunday to see lots of other bikes is ace....... plus I love riding to work.

Then add in the odd road bike only track day.... much more civilised and less knob heads.... and a pending trip to Cartegena and my biking mojo is well and truly back in town.
