Enjoyed the story, I have a Super glide and a Metric, when I want to look good I take the Glide, when I want to get back without wrenching I take the Suzuki Busa.

Very Informative. I have just returned to Motorcycling after 30 years, and have always wondered why the name Fat Boy?

Good video. Have you made anymore?

Well, I think this motorcycle so beautiful but this story made me a little uncomfortable for buying one....I'll try to think about the xr1200x again...but thanks!

Thanks Jeff...because of this video, I bought a 2003 Vivid Black Fatboy and it is so awesome! I just got back from a little spin around the neighborhood and to town.
