2011 Harley-Davidson XL 1200N Nightster Preview

The new 2011 Harley-Davidson XL 1200N Nightster ever given that its preface in 2007, the Nightster model has prowled the streets with a deep, menacing growl. Low, dark and belligerent, it brought a styling approach to the Sportster family that had not been seen before a raw, Dark Custom bike that delivers a 1200cc knockout punch. With chopped front and stern fenders, side-mounted license plate, combined stop/turn/tail lights, low 25.3-inch seat height, old-school front fork gaiters and raw-boned graphics and a unique finish on its V-Twin Evolution engine for a gritty, no-nonsense look, the Nightster representation is the motorcycle for those who want Sportster routine coupled with an attitude.
