I know we like to knock on the HD's around here...but in all seriousness I'd be proud to own this thing. I always loved the look and feel of the HD Night Train and this one reminds me of that bike. If it were the same price as the Stryker I would've been mighty tempted!

Looks like a sportster.

 

[christopher]

It is cool it comes in a six speed.

 

[Skwerlee]

has the Twin Cam 103 as well...good engine best i understand

 

[Stryker Lunatic]

it's nice but too small man. dudes on those harleys always look like bears on tricycles to me. i'm not knocking HD. they're an American bike-maker, been in business for decades must be doing something right. just my useless take on it

 

[MY LIFE]

Not for me. I'd take the Victory Judge over the HD any day. Now that' a bike. 8)

On the Victory judge one... in the picture the rider has both hands on both the brake and clutch lever.... is that how you're supposed to ride? I don't touch them unless needed, or coming close to congestion etc...

Both the Harley and the Victory are decent looking bikes. But no where near as sexy as the Stryker.

That's the beauty of the Stryker. It's better looking AND cheaper. So...you're just checking out the menu?

This is heresey ! Sorry, I feel that wire spokes and air cooled are fine for vintage bikes but the Stryker IS way more sexier (is that a word ?) The black v-rod now is another story but the Stryker with its big 21" front wheel and big tire is way nicer (is that a word ?).
Yeah, I'm prejudiced like most of the people here but I can't help myself. It is hard not to shop around but stick with the Stryker. After all you don't want to be an adulterer, do you ?

Buddy of mine rides a Night Train. It's probably the only HD I've ever seen that I thought "wow, I'd love to have that bike."

But then he has it up on jacks fixing major **** every other week, so maybe not.

They don't even make them any more, do they?

 

[jproos]

I pretty much agree. Not many HD's have ever appealed to me but this one sure looks nice. I agree with the comment someone else made about the wire wheels. It might look better without wire wheels but I guess that's probably a little too V-Rod for HD and HD purists.

The price seems kind of high, too, actually.

 

[Minibob]

The HD....meh. I do like the Victory Vegas or Hammer 8 ball. I really like the High Ball. Retro white walls, Flat black. Not for everyone, but, I like it.

Looks Aight... I Agree A Lil Small
Im Thinking This May Be My Next Ride???

No they stopped making the Night Train. What year is your friends? I've heard that most HD's 2003 and newer are pretty reliable.

 

[atspence]

they look really good with the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe

I agree, not as sexy as the Stryker. However, I did test ride a Victory Jackpot in Daytona this year. That is an awesome bike! I absolutely loved the power!

 

[Strykeback]

I have to agree with the other post. Wire wheels are not a look for 2012 nor for me. To retro but here is where they get you on all the upgrades I guess.

Not to hijack the thread, the Victories are sweet and the Vegas 8 ball has definitely caught my eye. I sat on a Judge and it was more similiar to the Raider where it was much more stretched out. Unfortunately the dealer I went to had just sold the Vegas 8 ball but the salesmen said the handle bars come back much farther. There are some cool videos on YouTube that compare the Victory motor against Harley that were made back in 2010. I think there are 3 or 4 in the series. Here is the first one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGkFPUeNUqc. You tube will show the other related videos in the series. In the last series that actually reference that the Vrod motor is engineered very closely to the Victory motor.

The only Victory bike I want is the Vision. I'm going to find me a used one in the next year or so.

 

[strykenshane]

I have to admit that Vision is a super nice ride, I have ridden them and they handle very nicely and have tons of power
