HARLEY-DAVIDSON REVEALS ALL-NEW NIGHTSTER
Harley-Davidson have launched a new addition to their range in the Nightster. While it revives a Sportster model name from the recent past and takes styling cues from the old, air-cooled Sportster family, the Nightster is a modern machine in every other respect.
Running a 975cc version of the liquid-cooled Revolution Max v-twin engine used in the new Sportster S, the Nightster is believed to take the place of the aborted Bronx streetfighter in Harley’s lineup, while also serving as a more affordable entry point into the new Sportster range, undercutting the Sportster S by around $2,500.
“The Nightster is an instrument of expression and exploration, underpinned by performance,” said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson in launching the new model on 12 April.
