Harley-Davidson (H-D) sure is one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers. Now its 2007 XL 1200N Nightster has shoved its brakes on the brand’s best-selling lineups. H-D took a standard Sportster 1200 and used matte black and grey finishes on the bodywork and engines perfect for the tough bad ass biker look.

The bare-knuckled Nightster offers a lowered the rear end for a custom look and added chopped front and rear fenders, side-mounted license plate, stop-turn tail lights, low 25.3-inch seat height and old-school-style front fork gaiters. Also there’s the rawboned graphics and a new finish on its V-Twin Evolution engine. Its bike pegs are close enough to the rider that your body position feels like you’re sitting in a chair with knees bent at a 90 degree angle, thighs parallel to the ground and shins perpendicular to it.

It also has multiple color options all in the range of the black shades: vivid black, two-tone Brilliant Silver Denim, Black Denim, Two-tone Mirage Orange Pearl, vivid black two-tone Olive Pearl Denim, Black Denim, Two-tone Suede Blue Pearl and the conventional vivid black.

H-D has added an ergonomic motorcycle setting. Its clutch parts serve a multi-plate with diaphragm spring in the oil bath with a final carbon-fiber belt drivetrain. The wide bars give tons of leverage to throw the bike around. Although the Nightster isn’t exactly lightweight, just be careful of those wide bars while splitting lanes!
