How Accurate is AI

I have been searching for a new motorcycle. One that fits all of my criteria to play an important roll in my unwinding and self-time.

So, I asked Google’s AI, how good is Harley-Davidson FAT bob FXFB on bends (curves)?

The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob FXFB is known for its sharp cornering and balance, making it a good motorcycle for bends. Here are some of its features that make it perform well on bends:


  • Narrow front end: The Fat Bob's narrow front end allows for sharp cornering.

  • Balance: The Fat Bob's balance makes the rider want to lean into every turn.

  • Smooth transmission shifts: The Fat Bob has smooth transmission shifts.

  • Comfortable foot position: The Fat Bob's foot pegs are far forward, which is comfortable for taller riders.

  • Brembo brakes: The Fat Bob has Brembo brakes.

  • Horizontal LED headlight: The Fat Bob's horizontal LED headlight provides good illumination for night riding. 


The Fat Bob is a Softail motorcycle that was first launched in 2008 and updated in 2018. It has a huge motor, chunky flat bars, and fat balloon tires. 


The strange thing is the first detail that came up was, “Narrow front end: The Fat Bob's narrow front end allows for sharp cornering.”


However, in the final statement it says the motorcycle has fat balloon tires. Here there is a confliction. On one hand the tires (tyres UK) are fat balloon which corresponds with the pictures above, and the first detail says narrow front end, but the bike isn’t narrow at the front because the tire is as fat as the back.


Fat tires are good for steering, especially long winding roads. However, when corners are sharp turns, fat tires are not as flexible as the slightly smaller ones which make the front end of the bike slightly lighter, and consequently easier for the rider to curve.


The fact of the matter is the dynamics of a motorcycle work more effectively when the ratio between rear and front tyres are well balanced. The power comes from the rear and it has the most weight on it, so considering the engine force is stronger at the rear of the bike as well.


As most motorcycles have a rear-wheel drive system, the rear tire must have better traction to ensure better power delivery. The narrower front tire helps improve stability and steering due to the lightweight front end causing less friction.


Take care!
