Ok, You’ve Seen It, What Do You Think?

Before the Nightster, I would have said it was impossible to create excitement around a bike that’s been around for 50 years,  but with a english wheel here, a ginder tere, and a few tried-and-true upgrades fom the H-D parts bin, Harley’s got something here… Or not?

Everyone has seen the new sporty from Harley. It’s Harley-Davidson’s latest, the XL 1200N Sportster 1200 Nightster.

They’re calling it an “iron fist in a soft-bellied world, with enough grit to put the edge back on a knife.”

The bike’s got chopped rear and front fenders, stop-tail- turn lights, low 25.3 seat height, old school front fork gaiters, rawboned graphics and a new finish on its V-Twin engine. It’s also black throughout.

But is it as good as a Metric? Is it a new design trend? Will all cruiser start looking like this one? Thoughts? Give us your opinion at: bob@mericthunder.com We’ll post them up.
