    Harley-Davidson Nightster.

    The fob is actually my only complaint about the bike. It’s nice that it’s ready to start when you walk up to it, but it still has a key to unlock the steering. The fob is just uneccesary, could have included the immobilier in the key like car companies have been doing since the 1990’s.

      I was at a HD dealership recently trying to find out why so many people like Harleys. I test rode a Sportster 48, and then the salesperson tried to direct me to a Nightster. I think I sat on it but I declined to ride it because I didn’t want to be riding a 93hp bike after just a month of experience riding a slow 250. Definitely want to try one out sometime next year though.

        The Nightster is leaps and bounds above the 48. I cam certainly understand not wanting to jump from a 250 to a 975! One thing that helps me there is the different riding modes, it feels like a 250 when it’s in rain mode.

          The Sportster 48 is technically a 1200. One that makes less power than a 650, but still a 1200.

          If I test ride I’ll definitely try out all the modes.
