Does anyone here ride/own a Harley Nightster 1200?

I see 48 and think year not Model. At one time there were baggers, bobbers and sporties. This new fangled "designer" name tags. Oh well the RUBs have to brag about something

I've been riding for over 11 years now and I am 20 years younger than the average Harley owners

i like the "45" with the girder.

48 Indian with a 74" bonneville motor [ milled heads] from the factory giving it a higher compression ratio, then the irrigation pumps they were producing till 53.
You cant see it in that pic but there is a shock [Monroe! ] and coil spring for that added level of 'comfort"
here's a "full frontal" shot.
I was hooking it up (for a 3spd flathead) one day and watched the horn do this funky twisting and turning THEN....... fuker broke off and slammed in to my forehead, below the helmet and above the glasses.

I appreciate all the feedback. There are some nice bikes here on the forum. I ride currently everyday to work so I think taking the time to find something comfortable will be worth it in the long run. I am going to hold off on the nightster and do some more looking for a good deal on a dyna or softtail. I also hadn't thought of triumph so I may have to take the trip up north to check them out. I will make sure to post up pictures once I settle on a new ride.

You want comfort, speed, handling and low maintenance? Buy a BMW RT series

You want speed and some comfort HD sport looks with a lower price tag look at the Star series from yamaha

IMHO:
There are a lot of nice sporty mc offerings from Honda, yamaha, and HD. The only difference between mc's today. HD's hold a better resale value. The down side of HD's. All the wanna be clowns wearing "costumes" wanting to look the bad ass w/out the back bone to step up.

Yamaha RoadStar, damn good bikes.

Thanks for the input Jim. I am going to also check out the honda shadow phantom and yamaha star bolt. They have similar styling to the nightster /Sportster and might be a decent option.
