2014 Fat Bob or a Thunderbird Storm?

[deadmannz]

Money's close to even..... pretty similar machines in many ways

I'm a prolific kind of rider... every day ending in Y but no others. 20,000 km+ a year... all kinds of traffic

Suggestions from anyone who owns or has owned both or similar?

Buy the HD.

[Superboss]

Buy the Storm for sure.
Owned one, great bike.

Aside from the inevitability of people saying "well he would say that'' the suspension is pretty ''wanting'' on both of those bikes. We have upspec'd more than a handful of these so that
1) They actually have ground clearance both statically and dynamically
2) They can actually absorb nasty bumps
3) They have a lot more chassis control

Correctly rated springs in front matched to Race Tech emulators and custom built Ohlins rears.

It's one of those 'no wrong answer' questions.

Apart from the engine config, very similar bikes.

Triumph pulls a bit harder. Harley probably cheaper to service.

Choose the one that *you* like most.

The Fatbob every time. But then I would say that... Got a demo here you're welcome to have for an arvo if you'd like.

Can't help you OP, but I would say you are in a win win situation.

I would be stoked with either one. Unfortunately my sporty ain't worth enough to make the trade possible LOL

Bloody salesman! don't you ever give up?
Buy the Triumph, have ridden a mates one and would take it over the Fat Bob anyday!

!

Wouldn't be much of one if I did mate!

The decision is not about the bike but the brand. HD has dealer support for the owner community - which is very strong. When I buy a cruiser it will be a HD for the HOG community support, organised rides, brand profile. I will keep the busa as the bike to ride anywhere anytime and maybe another naked sport bike for fun.

Keen to hear what your choice was, and if still happy with it, and thoughts on the bike now?
