A liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned to deliver more torque at low RPM, with strong acceleration from the start and robust power through the mid-range.
Modeled after a previous Sportster chassis, the Nightster features exposed dual rear shocks that give the bike sharp handling and provide a critical style line.
The engine is a stressed member of the chassis, significantly reducing overall weight and improving stiffness compared to a traditional chassis.
