Desi Fat Boy

Harley-Davidson is adding to its 14-member line-up in India by launching the Fat Boy Special, a special version of the iconic original, remembered by many for its appearance in the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starrer Terminator 2. The changes in the special edition are only aesthetic, and the bike retains the regular Fat Boy’s 1584cc V-twin engine with a torque rating of 125Nm at 3,500rpm.
