Harley Davidson Nightster

THE NIGHTSTER is Harley's latest offering to the entry-level custom market. It has a 1200cc rubber mounted engine, 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Styling is the differentiating factor over a standard 1200 Sportster, as the new machine has a retro look, replete with fork gaiters, high bars, black rims, wire spoked wheels and matt paint job. In all, not bad for just over £6500. At least it should hold its value.
