Harley-Davidson Nightster makes its global debut

The Harley-Davidson Nightster is expected to be launched in India in the near future.

Harley-Davidson has taken the wraps off a new model called the Nightster. It is part of the brand's 'Sportster' range and is powered by a 975cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine.

The Harley-Davidson Nightster is based on a tubular chassis, with the engine being a stressed member. The bike weighs 218 kg, which is lighter than the previous-gen bikes.

The Nightster features a circular LED headlamp with a shroud around it. It has the classic teardrop-shaped fuel tank, bar-end mirrors, and a low slung seat. The bike comes with a single side-mounted exhaust and rides on 7-spoke alloy wheels.

The 975cc, V-twin engine develops 89 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 95 Nm @ 5,750 rpm. The suspension setup includes a 41 mm Show telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. It gets disc brakes at both ends.
