Default New Nightster 975 Custom

What do you think about the new RH? With new fender, exhaust and wheels itīs not that bad.
90HP @ 220kg should also be fun.

I'm a big fan ot it. Short fender, short exhaust gives it a stretched look. The flat appearing tank reminds of the OG Sportster peanut tank. 99% murdered out with tasteful graphics and a hint of raw metal is a huge win.

That bike looks awesome. I'm a big fan of this new generation or Sportster, even though I have a 2008.

It's better than I expected. Probably a solid performer with that new engine design. Too bad that don't make it in the 1250, probably something coming down the road. They need to probably sell off left over 1200 air cooled inventory and will wait a while.

I did not like the new Sportster S, but I do like the new nightster quite a lot. Looks more like a sportster to me

I don't care for anything old or new without proper fenders. I guess I'm just old.

Is that big box hanging just forward of the rear wheel part of the exhaust?

I think it may be the charcoal canister. They have done a real good job, the fuel tank even looks like a cross between a peanut and a turtle tank, perhaps its the paint. Definitely catches the eye. I like it a lot better than the Sportster S configuration.
