They Got It Right This Time | Harley Nightster Review
Рет қаралды 25,022
2 жыл бұрын💭 It's always a treat to ride new motorcycles ESPECIALLY a motorcycle similar to a V-Rod Muscle. The New 2022 Harley Nightster may not be the Bronx that may wanted, but it definitely improves on what Sportster and V-Rod started. I was lucky to ride Nightster with fellow creators and Harley Davidson engineers to really find out how this motorcycle performs.

Hi Brandon, you have two of my favourite bikes. Unfortunately the V-Rod is financially impossible to purchase here in Australia, however the 109's are plentiful and not as expensive as the V-Rod, which are in the $20-30,000. My friends have bought the Victory Cruisers which looks like massive armchairs on wheels. You're living the dream mate. Happy riding. Keep safe.

I own the Nightster and yes it is a great bike. It had some initial no start problems caused by defective handlebar control modules. New modules and an ECU update corrected the problem. My only complaints are the SPORT mode is too abrupt (I now ride in ROAD mode) and in order to replace the spark plugs it is a 2.25 service hour job to remove the fake tank, air filter and the cylinder heads to gain access to the spark plugs. Hopefully, Harley Davidson will have an iridium plug available as this procedure is a definite budget buster.

They wanted me to call, and attached website links for trade in value estimates… credit approval… and financing.

The Rogue 60 is the bike that sings to me. I dont even want the full size motor scout, just the 60 cuz it's just right for me. The wheels, handlebars and light scowl just make the bike look and feel exactly how I want. I will add a usb charger, led headlight and some Dean speed rampage pipes with quiet baffles and be set to ride off into freedom. I am 39 and my dad getting cancer and dog of 16 years dying really put life into perspective for me and made me realize we only have 1 life and it's short.

However, the bike performed wonderfully, and I liked it even more than a Fat Bob 114, which I also tested.

Scout is more comfortable in the seating but the suspension is better on Nightster. Power delivery feels like more is there on Nightster too. Scout feels more comfortable on a longer rider.

Not wrong at all. Rebel is in there too along with Ducati Scrambler. Someone else asked and I said suspension is better on Nightster. Tech package of course but you’re paying more without considering all the customizations that will be available. Rogue feels better on longer rides and that motor is great too. Nightster feels faster and the higher redline and weight advantage makes it hella quick. I’d be torn on which one to pick money aside because they have pros/cons the other doesn’t. More people fit on Rogue out the box too.

Anywho, for those out there considering this bike. It’s definitely on the hot side and if you live in traffic or in the city, on a hot day, the engine heat may be a show stopper.
@BrandonBicasso 2 жыл бұрын
I’m very vocal about that sort of thing like on Scout Bobber/Rogue but could’ve been the area and the temps playing a factor too. I’ll keep a look out for that.

@@BrandonBicasso yeah from what I gather from the other videos, I think it was like 65-70 and breezy during the press launch. A much different environment than a 90 degree humid day stuck in traffic. I’m sure I’ll get used to it and I’m sure it’s not any hotter than a 600 cc sport bike. And perhaps my experience and those of other early adopters were of cooler running machines and it seems hot by contrast. But it is hot nonetheless :)

I rented a 2020 Harley sportster 1200 in Hawaii for couple of days, my ass hurt my lower back hurt my arm was sore because it rattled like an old lawnmower. My m1009R will eat that for a light snack.

How would you compare the performance to the indian scout/scout bobber? From low end torque to mid range and top end power !? I'm sure cornering will be better then the indian scout.
@BrandonBicasso 2 жыл бұрын
I’d say they’re close but the torque is more noticeable on Nightster. Over a 50 pound difference in weight so it builds speed and puts down power fast.

How’d you compare this with the M8?
@BrandonBicasso 2 жыл бұрын
M8, heavy and torquey till it falls off shortly before redline. Rev Max, light and torquey (linear build) all the way up till peak power. It pulls like there’s always more. Super fun motor! The Low Rider ST was plenty fun with the 117 tho. That bike really surprised me.

@@BrandonBicasso I agree . I have doubts though and since Harley-Davidson is missing an under 10k priced model I predict that there will be a Bronx 675 or Bronx 750 because no younger buyer wants a cruiser at such high price . They want the tested and tried frames of the like MT07, street triple etc.
@BrandonBicasso 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that makes me understand more on why they pulled it. Seems like it wasn’t the right time and maybe needed a redesign/more thought on the execution.

@@BrandonBicasso they will try and make some news first . Like with adventure segments and make some news with the likes of sportster S on performance and updated tech . They will introduce something of the kind of MT07 ( Bronx 675). I’m not sure if Pan America 975 ( many are talking about)will be a good move as it will dig into the same make of Pan Am 1250( in international market a PanAm 975 will help especially because of the price and different road and terrain conditions). The trends shows HD should concentrate on something like a fun bike ( super Moto).

I think the biggest downside of this bike is that there aren’t many aftermarket accessories for it, a clear example is the exhaust, I can’t seem to find a variety of exhaust for this specific model 😭

Seems like it's suffering from the same thing the Scout went through. Will take a bit before the market matures for the platform.
