To the guy moaning about his bike rusting...garage kept doesn't mean you took care of it. I own 2 Sporties. One since 02..not a spec of rust. Not one malfunction. For the people badmouthing Harley...get a life...we don't care what you ride...just ride
@MRstingray1969 "once you ride a Harley Davidson you will not ride anything else. "
BULLSHIT! I know PLENTY of people who own harley davidsons and want something else such as a street bike or touring bike to their collection. Most modern aviation pilots don't own or ride harleys, Instead they ride goldwings.
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
I love the low back on the Nightser. I got the Euro version with 13.25 inch shocks and can't wait to put 11 inches on there. I love the bike, absolutely love it.
It's disappointing that sportsters are looked down upon for being small. So many respected bikes throughout history haven't fit the stereotypical American Fatboy. If you like to ride, well so does the guy on the sporty.
Fuck off you cocksucker. If you don't like Harley then why watch the fucking vid? Oh so you can post shit that you're too much of a pussy to say in public! Oh yeah Peace out....
Hi! I'm collect money for my own motorcycle,because in my country motorcycles are very expensive.If you want to help me send me even though 1 cent to my account(number of account: 51 1140 2004 0000 3202 5431 1231).I'll be very thankful.
JoeBird- good going on working hard for your bike, but you're too young to be this biased against other brands...You don't really love bikes if you think HD is the only thing out there. Appreciate motorcycle history a little more and you will learn to love Moto Guzzi, BMW, Triumph, and yes...even the rice rockets. Ride safe.
Im blessed to be 18 and work my ass off to pay for my nightster. All my friends drive EVOs and STIs and they drool on my bike. So what you bought a fast car from the factory. Shows me nothing. I have the shortshots, se air cleaner, brawler seat smoked lenses and the stage 1 download. THere is really no way of explaining it unless you have a harley. Harleys are the ONLY real motorcycles. No respect for crotch rockets or anyting really for that matter. And no mommy and daddy dont pay for my beast
granted im far from affording one but I know how it is to earn a wicked ride... I went the subaru route myself but hope to get a harley to keep her company in the garage.
Well done Joebird629 , i dont agree fully what you said about the other bikes, each to there own, but i respect you worked for somthing you wanted and got , well done :)
Dude thats cool and all and im considering buying 1 of these bikes but why say a harley is the only real bike? I ride at the moment a crotch rocket/a 2005 yamaha r1 and it is a fucking mad bike to ride fast. Im considering a nightster becouse firstly they look good but secondly to slow me down and just cruise. i think all bikes are good and people should get over themselves and learn to enjoy all bikes and have a fuckin fun time.
Why all the hate from the squids,if your ride you ride,simple as that.Now go pretend your a motorcycle riding bad ass and wreck that crotch rocket your mom bought for when you turned 18 somewhere else!
What you say is true, but have you ever seen someone who is too short for their motorbike stopping and starting? It's bloomin' dangerous at least Harley are catering for riders of heights!
I'm about 6'3" and was on my way to getting a Nightster. Saw a picture of a 14 year old sitting on one who was probably around taller inches of 5 feet and figured I wouldn't fit.
Soooo cool. Exactally what you feel when biking. Amen ! For all Harley's lovers and espacially Sportster's ones, let's meet here : sportsters-hd•blogspot•com
I would think so, as my pal just bought a 2007 Dyna street bob, and he changed the pipes as soon as he got it. He put on a pair of Wicked pipes with no baffles, and he said it ran fine. I don't think he changed any settings on the FI. I'll find out though.
Hey, I talked to my bud who just bought the 2007 Dyna Street Bob, and he said the dealership had to make changes to the FI via computer when he changed his pipes.
Damn...hate being tied to a 'dealer' for anything. Thanx for getting back to me though. I have a big HD bud in Denver and he has a sexed out Soft Tail-said that the Nightster doesn't have the best 'fit & finish'. I would guess at this point it best to see one in the flesh.
Wow.....OK, "sexed out" means all the extra doodads (factory and other) that make the bike ride and look special. "Fit & finish" is the way the bike is put together and how all the pieces fit (like a puzzle), i.e., rough , sloppy & ill fitting, or smooth and detailed. Most riders like to see shiny parts made out of billet stock (where practical), rather than cheap cast or 'chromed' plastic.
Yeah, it sucks. I would much rather downsize the jets on an S&S E than have to take my ride to the Hundred Dollar, ooops I mean Harley Davidson labor shop. You can see the mechanics salivating at the mouth whenever you take a bike there to get it worked on.

Repeat the Hardley (yes, HARDLEY) pledge after me...
We believe in Windshields and Poker runs because we are pussies...
We believe in following each other around and compare how many dollars we wasted on chrome faggotry....
We believe in exhausts that make our asses vibrate because we like the sensation...
We believe in purchasing an image we cannot earn on our own....
Peace out Girl Scouts!

The Nightster is a neat-looking bike, but it's too small if you're around 6 feet tall. The regular 1200R/C are much better size-wise.
