Harley-Davidson Nightster Special 2023

The Nighster makes getting started in the world of Harley easier than ever before. With a smooth-running engine, riding modes and electronic aids, excellent handling, a powerful suspension and brakes, as well as a low kerb weight, you really don’t have to compromise on anything here.

The engine revs up smoothly

the chassis set-up is spot on

the brakes are very powerful

the seat height is ideal for new riders

it comes with all the features

the styling is distinctive yet quintessentially Harley

The sound is rather subdued

the footrest position takes some getting used to for a cruiser

the fuel tank is rather small

there’s little grunt at low revs for a 975-cubic centimetre V2
