presentation of the XL 1200 N Sportster Nightster 2010
in the Sportster range, this new Nightster could be likened to a little scoundrel. Stripped back, minimalist, picked up like a bad dog ready to gnaw a knee, it takes on the Bobber spirit of some of today's and post-war Harley bigwigs. A low seat, lowered suspension, little chrome, menacing black... the Nightster seems to intimidate the tarmac before clearing its throat with its tumbled 1200. The styling effect is not lacking, especially with the truncated rear mudguard, the gussets at the top of the fork tubes, the small fuel tank and the perforated belt guard. The must-have? We hesitate between the remote number plate or the headlight integrated into the turn signals, all to leave the rear mudguard empty. No, the must-have is obviously the American twin. Sporty, it also delivers a drier sound, thanks to the XL 1200 N's specific exhausts. Even though it's mounted on silent-blocks, the two-cylinder allows itself to spread the appropriate vibrations with style. With character, emotion and a hellish mouth, the Nightster becomes the bad boy of the Sportster family.
