sounds great, imthinking of getting this model. Also do they have a 2 seater version of this bike? Or should i get somthing a lil bigger. I have experience on mototcross and trailbikes in general. Any help id be greatful. Cause im taking my bike courses now for my license
@danmerica123-no doubt of you shutting up and learning how long it would take for that space to fill with a dangerous level of carbon monoxide,I will give you a clue alot longer than a minute and a half,turkey
I just saw one exactly like this one for sale at the local HD dealer and I fell in love with her. The funny part is that I've always been afraid of bikes but I saw it and fell butterflies in my stomach. i don't even have a motorcycle license endorsement. Would this one be a good "starter" bike?
@MercsDude I don't know if anyone responded to you or if you've ever ended up buying a bike but the Sportsters are excellent starters bikes. Highly recommend one if you've never ridden before.
This was incredibly helpful. I just bought my Nightster last week and LOVE it. I just wish the pipes were a little bit louder and more meaty. The slip ons you have sound great. Anyone heard any other brands I should consider? Thanks again.
@jssunn I own an 08' nightster and ive got black ceramic V&H short shots that sound like a rabid warthog snorting when you blip and a 10'000 rpm jackhammer when you nail it, really meaty if you get my drift. If i had to buy new pipes for whatever reason, id buy the same ones over again.
Sportsters are utter shit. Mine has rusted so bad Ive gotta get it all repainted. The rear mudguard rusted, the chrome fell off the rear wheel, mirrors bubbled, the laquer on forks failed and the alloy corroded, the chainguard rusted, front rim rusted through etc. My Sportster is an 04 and is kept in a garage. The metal has only one coat of (shit) paint with no primer. It has no chance against UK weather. Come on HD pull your fucking socks up
awesome Bike,.... never had a bike before, but this one is calling me even in my dreams...... ooooh yes, xl 1200n will be miiiiinne !!!....miiiiiiinnnnee!
If that is what you want I WOULD NOT recomend this bike for long Trips. Go with a bigger bike like a touring.... This doesnt have any storage and If you ride more than 3 hours your back starts to hurt.
Swap seats, get a engine guard with highway pegs and a windshield. Get the black leather sportster bags. The good thing about sportsters is you can always change their appearance.
I agree w coolride. I have a HD 1200C w a Mustang 2 pt seat,windshield, and clubman bars. Done3 trips from mid Ga to Daytona, no worse for wear. 5oo miles in a day? no sweat
@oneshotperkill just came home from a demo ride on this very bike in the clip. it was amazing and nimble but its problem was that it is VERY shaky and very hard and rough on the bumps on the road. am a 177 meters tall and it fit me perfectly. but regarding the comfort in long rides, its probably the worst bike ever made for that matter.
@Rezaroth I ride mine for hours and hours and after awhile its a little uncomfortable but im 21 and deal with it... as far as worst bike ever made for that matter i disgree 100% any crotch rocket is much ... much worse than this bike is long rides !
@oneshotperkill yea man there great i have the same bike as this guy ive driven on trips up to sturgis on mine and daytona and there both 700 + mile trips.
kinda undecided about adding an engine guard and two up seat and saddle bags,im not a big guy bout 5'9 n slim,what do you think will be like with those addons
Whatever you do DO NOT put saddle bags on a Nighster, It will ruin the whole design. Engine Guard? Nah.... don't do it. Just add a nice exhaust and some highway pegs. Maybe a medium Ape Handlebar.
If you have a lady friend then buying a $199 two-up seat is not a bad idea. Then you will have both seats and you can swap them if you are riding alone.
cool ,thanks for the clip,I was looking at pipes for my 07 xl custom and one guy told me it was like 1000 bucks,then the harley guy told me 300 out the door for slip ons..I ordered them today.
what size baffles do you have in your mufflers? i'm looking to put pipes on my '06 Sporty, but I live in an apartment complex and pipes w/ 2.5" baffles are gonna be too loud.
Harley Nightsters are just awesome. The old school look and flat paint is just amazing. The 1200 Motor has high performance "something" inside to make it faster and more powerful than a normal 1200 harley Engine. I love this bike. Awesome pick. Thanks for posting.
That's a hell of a nice sound comming out them pipes. I actually reviewed this particular video several times before I bought my bike. It sounds amazing when you listen to these videos with a subwoofer hooked up to your computer. It's like you in the garage breathen all them fumes too.
Lol, I like how the garage door is closed, nothin like breathin those fumes! That thing is so kickass, was just checkin one out at the harley store today, want one sooo bad.
CONGRATULATIONS¡¡¡ te felicito por tener esa hermosura de harley, en lo personal a mi gusto es la que mas me agrada de la familia sportster por la forma del tanque y porque es la que mejor se escucha y en general de harley davidson,saludos,tu amigo DIMAS
Nice bike
