The 2023 Harley Davidson Nightster: The Legacy Continues
Contents
After last year’s introduction, the Harley Davidson Nightster returns for the 2023 model lineup. Subtle changes are the main difference this year, the most obvious being the absence of the headlight cowl.
Highlighting the All-American lineage of the Sportster, the Nightster features exposed dual rear shocks, a round intake cover, and peanut styled fuel tank. Power comes from the Revolution® Max 975T liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned for 90 hp; it moves the Nightster with a solid kick.
Harley Davidson ensures each bike benefits from the latest tech. The Nightster comes standard with ABS brakes, LED lighting, selectable rider modes, traction control, and more. To keep the handling in check Showa has designed a 41mm set of front forks which combined with the stiff hoop-style frame, reveal exactly why the Nightster is a proud part of the HD Sport family.
2 color choices exist for the 2023 Harley Davidson Nightster: Vivid Black, and Redline Red.
The 2023 Harley Davidson Nightster starts at $13,499 USD / $16,499 CAD.
