New 2007 Harley-Davidson XL 1200N Nightster Motorcycle

I like it. I also am wondering how comfortable it would be for me.

Then it was all ruined when I saw the write-up: "tank graphics packed with street cred". At that point I threw up.

yeah, well, i don't exactly love or agree with all the stunter ads and 'street cred' that sportbikes and gear have,

but i have an Icon jacket and other sportbike gear.

it's not about the ads from the company, it's about the actual product for me.

HD has always tried to bank on the 'badass street cred' to sell their bikes and merch.

but as long as i like the product, i don't give a rat's tail about what they're saying.

looks pretty cool.
I hope they have it at next weeks Internation motorcycle show in Chicago...and you know i'll be at the HD dealers when they provide test rides in the spring!

Friend of mine is getting one apparently. I'll either have him report or I'll report for him!

Eh, looks alright, I also am not the biggest fan of the Sportster, but if anything, they need to make the whole thing black, all black, like the NightRod!

They have 'em in all black as well.

I like it!

Classic Look, But if it has the same lean angle as the 2007 883 low that I have recently roadtested, then all that power could be dangerous as you fly into your first corner, or if you attempt to follow your mates through the twisties. Even if you never intend to go hard, EXTRA LEAN ANGLE is an EXTRA SAFETY MARGIN, that might just save you when you NEED to take evasive action, or when you get caught out on one of those unfamiliar bends that tightens up on you. If you can't lean anymore then you may end up on the wrong side of the road and head on into an oncoming vehicle, or off the black stuff, and into who knows what! I currently own a 2006 carburettored 883, and although the new injected 883 is noticabley more responsive, I think my next new bike will be a 1200 Roadster, Power, with just enough handling , Aussie Bob.

I like it except for the 3.3 gal tank. That is a deal breaker for me. I need more range.

I vote neutral..

I'm also not a big fan of the Sportster. I really don't care for the grey powder coating, although I do like the blacked out motor....

If that bike was a guy - i would totally date him! Talk about classy, yet subdued...............making an impression without screaming at everyone "Look at me"!

Definately a cool looking bike. I just sold a 2006 883 and it was fairly quick after some performance changes. I would have to say that with a stage one upgrade this bike would be a monster...You 88 cu in. guys that call Sportsters (girls bikes) better watch out for this one....Remember, you can't call it a girls bike if you can't out run it......
