Nightster Review - How good is the cheapest Harley-Davidson really?

[@jmulroy1]

As a former Harley rider ( 32 years ) I really like the looks of this bike, but a 3.1 gal tank is ridiculous if you want a lightweight touring bike.

As useless as the honda rebel

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Someone can het rich with an after market tank add in. Fake to actual

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Are handlebar risers std

[@michaelbrown7637]

​@@ed.t.hansen6499.. Yes ..5 inch risers on the nightster special

[@chrisstiffler2185]

Wunderbar review! Very good on the details, except the battery location. Because of your excellent points, I am purchasing the “Special” edition and pick it up in 3 weeks. Thanks for your review! 👏🏻

I like riding between placerville to auburn on highway 49 and route 128 from winters to napa. Some excellent canyon riding. I'd like to see more Thunderbike Project X parts on the Nightster.

This bike is growing on me the more I see it. Too bad HD can’t produce it at a more reasonable price. 😎

Juliane is such a great reviewer. Lots of info and advice.

The tank is under the seat and could have been about 15l or 4gal. Also the left side of the engine looks good, but the right side is a totally different color and looks like molded plastic. The right side is not actually plastic but it looks strange compared to the left side of the bike...

I love this bike ❤😊

I just don't like how the motor doesn't have very much torque on the bottom end; you need to be in the upper rpm range for the bike to start pulling. I think that most people that will ride this bike will be riding in town and not carving canyons, and the characteristics of this motor would not be exciting. I guess I'm in the minority here, but I like feeling the raw punch when I leave the stoplight or just doing some horsing around. You cant call the Nightster a beginner bike, mainly because of the price. There are way better "Beginner bikes" out there for way less money, and this is coming from a guy that loves Harleys. That is just my opinion...

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Sad you cant use the top gas tank as an extra for touring. Wasted space that could have neen storage

[@kevskibiz]

What a beaut….great review 👊

[@stephensoto2126]

I like the bike look. I hate the light cover & the Harley logo on the sides. also who tf wants to open their seat to fill the gas tank?!

[@abigail_mcleod]

i like how you tried to hide yer German accent 😊

[@a99miata]

cheap is relative

[@MrEricmopar]

Yeah, you can get a lot more for the same money from the Japanese or even a F750 GS beemer. Hell, the new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is in that price category and is a great bike, with tons of "cool factor"

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Makes sense to have fake gas tank as storage. Someone should have a fake tank with a door. 3rd party

[@atomicorang]

A great girls bike.

Get some decent riding shoes.
