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.
Ride the way you want with three pre-programmed riding modes—Road, Rain, or Sport—or create your own custom mode.
Inspired by 1970s Harley-Davidson styling, the Nightster Special proudly wears a colorful throwback medallion.
Dual Bending Valve conventional forks provide agile handling and keep the tire in contact with the road.
