The Harley-Davidson Sportster(r) 1200 Nightster is a Standard style motorcycle with an MSRP of $9999 and is a Carryover for 2011. Power is provided by a 4-Stroke, 1202.8cc, Air cooled, OHV – Pushrod, V Twin engine with Electric starter. The engine is paired with a 5-Speed Manual transmission and total fuel capacity is 3.3 gallons. The Sportster(r) 1200 Nightster rides on Steel wheels with a Dunlop(r) 100/90 R19 57H front tire and a Dunlop(r) 150/80 R16 71H rear tire. The front suspension is a Telescopic Fork while the rear suspension is a Twin Sided Swing Arm. Front Hydraulic Disc brakes and rear Hydraulic Disc brakes provide for the stopping power. The Sportster(r) 1200 Nightster comes standard with One-Piece, 1-passenger seating.
Ever since its introduction in 2007, the Nightster® model has prowled the streets with a deep, menacing growl. Low, dark and aggressive, it brought a styling attitude 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 rear 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® model is the motorcycle for those who want Sportster® performance coupled with an attitude.
