Harley-Davidson was an American motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1903 with headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. It was one of two large American motorcycle manufacturers that survived the Great Depression, along with their historical rivals, Indian Motorcycles.
In 1990, Harley-Davidson created a line of cruiser motorcycles under the Fat Boy designation, which many believed was a contraction of the Fat Man and Little Boy atomic bombs dropped on Japan in WW2. Still, it proved to be only a descriptive name.
The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy was the base model for several versions with the same design and technical features but slightly different characteristics. One of which was the Fat Boy Lo, the same machine but with a lowered suspension and a darker appearance.
In 2015, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo, a cruiser motorcycle part of the Fat Boy series, that came with a lowered suspension for better reach to the ground and a blacked-out, more aggressive appearance.
As for the power figures, the bike had a 1,690cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a black powder coating and satin-chromed head covers and cooling fins. The engine was fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that delivered smooth power and 132 Nm (97 lb-ft) torque at 3,250 rpm.
The bike's lowered suspension was handled by a telescopic fork on the front and a hidden, horizontally-mounted shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance, handling, and a hardtail design.
