Does anyone here ride/own a Harley Nightster 1200?

[griebel303]

I am on the market for a Cruiser from my Sport Bike and have been looking at the Nightster 1200s. I was hoping to see if anyone here rides one and get there general feedback on it, as well as thoughts of riding 2 up.

I am trying to stay right around the $8k mark so if I don't go with the Nightster I will probably look into Honda Shadow Phantom or Star Bolt R-Spec

Thanks for any input!

How tall are you? Taller riders will feel a little cramped. I'd go dyna but a bit more money.

You're off the team!

Haha don't hate bro! I will blame it on my old man back

I'm kind of a shorter guy. Like 5'7. Dynas and soft tails are sweet for sure, but they do cost a couple grand more like you mentioned

I know quite a few chicks/lady's that ride those gurly bikes.

riding a sporty is going to be more comfortable than a sportbike. at least in my opinion.

I guess I should have been a little more clear in my earlier post. HBAR is correct. As uncomfortable as a Sportster is to ride, it probably feels like a Cadillac compared to a sport bike.

I knew that comment was coming mtn. man. I saw some lady last night at the Bike Night at Quaker Steak and lube pulll up on one and partially deflated my excitement. I also saw a few chicks pull up on fat bobs and dynas. Some chicks are just tough haha

If you wanna build a bobber, a nightster is a great start. I'd ride the piss out of any of these, all of which were once nightsters.
