The seller offers for sale a 2002 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, one of the most iconic motorcycles in the Harley line-up. This example is powered by a 1,450 cc air-cooled V-twin engine, paired with a manual transmission. With only 15,000 km on the odometer, it reflects relatively limited use compared to its age. The bike has been carefully maintained, with a service and tune-up completed within the last year to ensure continued reliability.
The Fat Boy stands out as a heavyweight cruiser, known for its muscular stance, solid-disc wheels, and unmistakable Harley presence. This particular motorcycle carries a distinctive configuration, enhanced by a set of Santee-made exhausts, which are homologated for use and provide a deep, characteristic sound. It maintains its original design while presenting details that appeal to enthusiasts of classic American motorcycles.
The paintwork retains an intense shine, presenting well overall, with only two small imperfections on the lower sections of the front and rear fenders, each less than 3 cm in size. The chrome elements add to the bike’s strong visual appeal, and the overall finish supports its status as a carefully looked-after motorcycle.
The mechanical condition is reported as solid, with the engine and gearbox working properly and shifting smoothly. The bike starts reliably, while all lights and indicators function, and the motorcycle has passed its valid Spanish inspection. The mileage, combined with the servicing, suggests it is ready for immediate riding.
Introduced in 1990, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy quickly became a hallmark of the cruiser segment. Its name, derived from a blend of “Fat” and “Boy,” reflected both its solid appearance and substantial presence on the road. Designed by Willie G. Davidson, the Fat Boy combined modern engineering with Harley’s traditional styling cues. Over the years, it has gained cultural significance, appearing prominently in films, most notably in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which elevated it into one of the most recognized motorcycles in popular culture.
The 2002 model year Fat Boy continued the tradition with Harley’s Twin Cam 88 engine, offering smooth performance and distinctive torque delivery. Its solid-disc wheels, wide stance, and broad fenders made it easily identifiable, while the low seating position and comfortable ergonomics catered to long-distance cruising. For many enthusiasts, the Fat Boy symbolizes the ideal balance between classic American style and the rideability of a modern cruiser.
Harley-Davidson’s place in motorcycle history is cemented by models like the Fat Boy, which combine mechanical durability, a strong aftermarket support network, and a devoted global following. This example, with its low mileage, well-preserved state, and subtle custom touches, represents both a collectible and a usable motorcycle. It remains a suitable choice for riders who want a bike that carries cultural weight while being capable of relaxed touring and city riding.
Noted imperfections are limited to two small paint flaws on the lower parts of the front and rear fenders, each less than 3 cm. Apart from these, the finish remains bright and consistent. No accident damage, rust, or major defects are reported. The Santee exhausts are a modification but remain compliant.
