What motorcycle does the T-800 ride in Terminator 2: Judgment Day?

The story behind the answer

The T-800 rides a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character takes the motorcycle from a bar early in the film and uses it during the escape with John Connor. The large cruiser became one of the most recognizable vehicles associated with the franchise, especially during the chase through Los Angeles and the Los Angeles River flood-control channel.

The motorcycle was a Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy, a model introduced by the company in 1990. Its appearance in the 1991 film helped make the Fat Boy strongly associated with Schwarzenegger’s Terminator. The motorcycle is separate from the truck used by the T-1000 during the chase and from the police vehicles seen later in the sequence.
