Cool, I just wasn't sure if it was a limited production run, say, 1500 units and that's it for the year. I'm going up to my credit union in the morning (at work now) to beg and plead for a new loan. If the suckers actually give me the money, I'll be at the Harley stealership demanding an 07 XL1200N in olive green. :drool:

 

where did you read this stuff?

 

^^^ I just did a search for Sportster or Harley reviews and one of the pages I came across had some negative reviews. You know how review sites are, though, usually to motivate somebody to post something they've gotta be pretty pissed off about something, lol. Not exactly a representative sample.

So anyway, I bought me an all black XL1200N Nightster today, just got back. I'm officially no longer a lurker, lol. I wanted the green, but they said they only got one for the whole year, and it was already sold. They couldn't locate another one for me, and all they had in stock was an all black one, which was a close second pick anyway. Funny part is about a half hour after I showed up another dude came in to buy it. I guess he was there last week and said he'd be back yesterday, but didn't show up, so I got it. Poor bastard...

First impressions: Man, this thing has a bit more torque than my old 1982 Kaw 750 POS, lol. It's also incredibly easy to ride. I rode for a couple years from 1993 to 1995, haven't touched a bike since. I hop on, do a few awkward laps of the building, and ride home. By the time I got home (only about 5 miles) I had gotten about 80% of my old confidence back up. The bike is just so easy to ride, it really caught me off guard.

Anyways, it's bone stock now except for the security key fob, and I ordered some of the slip on mufflers, can't remember what they're called, but not the Screaming Eagle ones. I think they're called Cycle Tech or something. The sales dude had them and said he liked them, so I took his word for it, lol. I already knew I wanted them, just didn't know which ones. Should be in in about 10 days. I like the mid controls the way they are, except I kept putting my feet too far inward, on the metal. Really the only thing I can think of that I'd want aftermarket is the Stage one kit. I really like it blacked out with no chrome. I might repaint the tank and fenders later though. I'm thinking flat black with gloss black pinstripes. That was the sales dudes idea, and I kinda liked it. Another idea would be gloss black over flat black.

So anyway, I had to work last night, I've been up for 24 hours, and I have a poker party to go to in a couple hours. I wanna take a nap, so I'll post pics tomorrow to bring some value to this thread. Thanks for all the help and encouragement guys!

 

congrats on the bike!

Congrats on the bike! I've had mine for just over a week now (not the same as yours, but from the same family). You're going to love it.
