Since the Nightster came out, I've been plotting on how I can purchase one. I've been to the dealership and sat on it a few times and it feels alright but it feels a lot smaller than my last bike did. For the record, I'm 6'1" and 190 lbs. To the Nightster (or Sportster) riders out there, do you think that this will be a comfortable bike for long trips? Will I look "goofy" on it being a bigger guy? I just can't get away from how the bike looks.

 

I am 5' 10" and 185 and with forward controls it is great for me. I also got a Mustang seat for two up and it pushed me up and back an inch or two both ways.......so if you feel a little close a new seat should help too.

I didn't see the "long trips" part the first time......You can make it on long trips....you can add shocks, seat, etc. to make it more comfortable or you can suck it up and ride till you can't ride anymore

I did almost 300 last Saturday.... Multi day trips though would be better suited to another model though....

 

6'-1" & long trips = touring family of bikes.
