The best Harley I've owned yet - but not perfect
By Anthony C(Owner), Dec. 16, 2009
This is the 3rd Harley I've owned and it is by far my favorite yet. After tons of mechanical and electrical problems with my 2007 VRSCD Night Rod I traded it in on a 2009 Nightster. I've been saying for years, since the Nightster rolled out mid-year in 07, that it was the best looking Harley in the ... Read Full Review

By kory botz(Owner), Apr. 3, 2011
I bought the bike 3 weeks ago and love everything about it. i have a 2008 honda cbr and 1993 kawasaki vulcan 1500 and this is a way rougher ride than either of them. It's how i like my women, and how i like my bikes. People comment on it everywhere i go. the classic orange and black is stunning and ... Read Full Review
