mine handled like it was on guard rails and im still here... it was a shame it handled so poorly cause that dam thing ran like a scalded dog when i got done with the motor. it would do 80 mph in second..............ill see if i cant find the old dyno sheet i think it was mid 90's on hp cant remeber the torque spec.

i have a nightster. i put 40,000 miles on it in 20 months. i dont recomend this bike to anyone
the suspension is too damned low. it bottoms out on any bump and it hurts. plain and simple. the fueling is crap. the seat has hot-spots from hell. the rear brake just never was worth a ****. the front brakes fade in no time. engine runs hot. needs fuel too often.
its just not a very good motorcycle. tell your friend it looks great on magazine covers so if he's going to buy a nightster he might want to hire a publicist to help him get on a magazine.

Is this Rainman? I hear that in the ski industry too. "I can ski double black diamonds." Can't speak for your Harley techs, but I'm guessing they didn't experience a "death wobble".
