Harley-Davidson Fat Boy

Ex-showroom Delhi, the Fat Boy range runs from ₹28,03,000 (Billiard Gray and Blue Burst) to ₹28,56,000 (Whiskey Fire and Vivid Black) across 3 variants.

That makes it priced 48th lowest among the 53 cruisers we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Diavel V4 (₹1,62,962 more) and the Heritage Classic (₹2,32,000 less).

On the road in Delhi the base Fat Boy comes to ₹31.42 Lakh: ₹28,03,000 ex-showroom, ₹2,36,240 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.4%), ₹74,908 for first-year insurance and ₹28,030 in tcs 1%. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

The Fat Boy is rated at 18 kmpl (claimed mileage). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.

Among the 40 cruisers we have reviewed it ranks 33th for mileage, 7 kmpl below the group average of 25 kmpl.

Power comes from a 1868cc single producing 93.87 bhp and 155 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 317 kg the power-to-weight figure is 296 bhp per tonne, which ranks 23 of 51 in its class here.

Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS and traction control, with a disc, 300 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 292 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.

Seat height is a low 675 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.

On safety kit the Fat Boy has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

What it lacks: slipper clutch and ride modes, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 4 colours: Blue Burst, Billiard Gray, Vivid Black and Whiskey Fire/Vivid Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Service reach is the weak point: Harley-Davidson has about 60 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The Fat Boy launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
