Actor Rajkummar Rao Brings Home The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob

Actor Rajkummar Rao knows how to win you over with his effortless performances, and the string of hit movies to his name certainly stand testimony to that. While the actor has been often seen riding motorcycle on celluloid, more often than not with two more characters on the astride (which is illegal), you could soon spot around Mumbai riding his newest Harley. The 'Trapped' actor recently brought home the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob, which is priced from Rs. 14.69 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Fat Bob was introduced in India in 2017 and is now part of the Softail family, as opposed to the Dyna family that the previous generation version was. Rao's brought the 2019 Harley-Davidson Bob to his garage.

Compared to the previous generation version, the new Harley-Davidson Fat Bob gets a bulk of changes including a more aggressive and muscular appearance along with a new engine and underpinnings. The power cruiser gets a 34 stiffer and 15 kg lighter frame, which houses the Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-Twin engine that comes with oil-cooled exhaust valves and belts out 145 Nm of peak torque. The signature change though remains the new oblong-shaped LED headlamp that stands out amidst retro-themed round headlamp designs on other cruisers in this segment.

The new headlamp is complemented by the beefy forks up front and unique 2-1-2 upswept exhaust system that gets a custom magnesium finish. You do get familiar bits on the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob including the teardrop fuel tank, contoured seat, and the wide handlebar. The rear suspension is handled by a single shock under the seat, while braking performance comes from disc brakes at either end with dual-channel ABS. The new Fat Bob also comes with 150 mm front and 180 mm rear section tyres, which the American bike maker says are the fattest-aggressively treaded tyres that the company has on offer.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
