Does anyone here ride/own a Harley Nightster 1200?

[ray1970]

I've owned a couple of sportsters. Probably some of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ridden. I'm only 5'9" and it was too cramped for me and the ride was too rough for my taste. My wife rides one but she is tougher than me I guess.

If its for looks and shorter distances, I say go for it.

If you really want to rack up the miles and enjoy the ride, I'd look elsewhere.

I know it's slightly put of your budget, but a brand new Dyna Street Bob is only about $12,500 brand new. I've seen plenty of used ones in your price range.

Oh, and unless your significant other is built like a 12 year old girl, riding two up probably won't be much fun for either of you.

Thanks for the feedback Ray. I think I will pass on the Nightster for now and keep looking for something that fits my need a little bit better

That bike is sweet!!! I don't think the wife would like riding on the chain/fender though

The Sportster is a girls bike. Come on up to the shop and try on a Triumph before you pull the trigger.

Very cool looking. I like the low key paint.

Get a Tiger or a GSA... Who needs pavement.

The Triumphs are cool too. I haven't been around the new ones but the old ones are nice bikes. Google and take a look at some Triumph bobbers and cafe racers.

Want a HD and the shortster is too small, look at one of the vagina glides.
