1990 Harley-davison Fat Boy L@@k Only 9849km (6119miles) on 2040-motos

Hugely popular with both owners and admirers alike, the Fatboy has been the biggest selling model for a number of years.

Even when it was introduced in 1990, the Fat Boy instantly became one of Harley-Davidson's most popular models and is still the most copied style of cruiser motorcycle by the big Japanese manufacturers.

With a waiting list for a new Fatboy sometimes hitting the two year mark, this much sought after model is also a hot commodity in the used bike market. Prices for a good used unit are often only a couple of thousand dollars behind a new bike and Fatboys hold their value over many years.

Designed by Willie.G. himself, the original Fat Boy only came in grey. Fenders, fuel tank, oil tank and even the frame were all painted the same color. A thin yellow trim was applied around the rocker covers, ignition switch, primary inspection plate cover, timing cover and within the winged tank emblem. The 1990 machine also came with revolutionary cool touches never seen before on a factory bike. Things like; disc wheels, shotgun style exhaust, FLH style handlebars, new fenders and a hand laced leather seat and tank panel.

Supposedly, it was the model HD used to strike back at the powerful Japanese motorcycle manufacturers who were starting to pump out cruiser style bikes by the million. Alleged parallels between the first two atomic bomb attacks on Japan and the then new Fatboy are as follows:

-That first year model (the only one ever offered in grey) was colored after the "Enola Gray", the name of the B29 bomber that dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima.

-The name Fatboy is supposedly an amalgamation of the code names "Littleboy" and "Fatman" which were the first two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

-The 7 yellow trim rings on the first model is supposed to mimic the same markings that were on the two bombs.

-The Fatboy tank emblem is allegedly closely styled after the winged USAF symbol.

Definitely a strong set of coincidences but ones that are vigorously denied by Harley. Draw your own conclusions here.
