The Harley-Davidson motorcycle ridden by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the Fat Boy.
The 1991 film prominently showed Schwarzenegger’s Terminator riding a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy during the character’s arrival and escape scenes. The movie helped make the motorcycle one of the most recognizable Harley-Davidson models among international audiences.
The Fat Boy was introduced for the 1990 model year as part of Harley-Davidson’s Softail range. Its styling included solid disc-style wheels, a broad front end, and a concealed rear suspension designed to resemble a rigid frame.
The film connection is sometimes confused with Harley-Davidson’s appearance in Easy Rider, which involved modified big-twin motorcycles rather than a Fat Boy. The Fat Boy’s screen association belongs especially to Terminator 2.
