Nightster - Honest opinions
#22
Sportsters are great bikes, I still own my Ironhead and don't see why I would ever get rid of it. The Nightster is a great looking bike, but I think the price of a new 1200 Sportster is a little excessive. For $2000 more you can buy a Super Glide which will not depreciate near as quickly or as much.
If you really want a Nightster buy a used one. I have seen them in the DC craigslist for $7000 a couple of times in the past few months, most with very low milaege.

Greetings,
You won't see me on a Nightster or any Sporty for that matter. I've never cared for the styling and for the price of a new one, you can get a used Dyna or Softail that looks better.

I've always dreamed of owning a Superglide, and finally was able to do it, but if could afford it, I would love to have a Nightster as a second bike. Sit on a Sportster and one of the big Harleys and let your heart decide!

No other bike in the Harley line-up has the fun factor of the Nightster. I ride every day, & 99% of my riding is on 2 lane roads, some with long straight stretches & some with lots of twisties. The nightster will take your breath away winding through the gears, & handle like a dream going through the curves. If I spent most of my time on 4 lane highways, or did a lot of 2-up riding, I would consider one of the touring bikes. Bottom line-the Nightster is a true Hot Rod both in looks & performance.

Yeah I love mine as well. It was my first bike though and the only other bike I have to compare it to is a Deluxe. I have ridden a deluxe for several hours at a time, now it just sits in the garage and I ride it when my GF bugs me about wanting to go ride, or to keep the battery charged. I would take the Nighty over the Deluxe any day of the week.
These are the only bikes I have ever ridden though. Next up, I will probably rent a VRSCDX - Night Rod Special for a Saturday romp and see if I like it enough to trade out the Nighty.
