O.K. nightster owners.

RE: O.K. nightster owners.
Depends on what you want it for.... it ain't a long trip bike! But it's definitely a too-cool-for-school bad-to-the-bone awesome fun commute and cruise the strip and short day tripper. I LOVE it, but would want like a BMW 1200GS for my ultimate yumyum longer trip-taking bike. I'm 5'7" with 31" inseam, so hip flexors get a littel tight on the long rides.
I have zero regrets because I know what it's great for and what where it is limited.
I am going to upgrade the shocks because the bumps get to me, I added a solo detatchable rack and heated grips... waiting for a vivid black air cooler cover to come in... got a Biker's Friend bag to haul around some stuff to be practical when commuting... otherwise it's cool mo dee, ready to roll, not a chrome bank account drainer... just gogogo have cool fun machine.
If that's what you're looking for.... DO IT! It's a balst, I tell you. Home run.

RE: O.K. nightster owners.
Its the greatest bike ever built! Its so badass it needs to be put in detension.The seatfits mewell (i'm 5'7" 160lbs)..but I could see how some people would complain about lack of cush. I always feel like I am going to or coming from a rumble when I am riding it(ha ha!).
Sitting on the bike in the showroom and actually being out riding it are two completely different feels....its alot more comfortable riding then just sitting still..

RE: O.K. nightster owners.
Here's the part where I sound like a jerk. Let me apologize in advance. I don't like it at all. I think its name should be, "the gayster." I think that HD will limit the XR1200 to a Europe only model because of the nightster. IMO, HD gave us the wrong prototype as a production model. I hope that all of the nightster owners are happy with it and I hope it serves you well. I'll keep my 2000 XL and be happy with it until we get the XR1200. If we ever get it. Just my .02
