Harley-Davidson SPORTSTER reviews

This motorcycle could turn a quick ride to the corner store into a cross-country road trip in the blink of an eye. The most comfortable ride ever...It feels like your floating. It has a light, nimble frame for easy handling. Detachable windshield and lockable saddlebags for the open road. The seat is so comfortable you can ride all day. And a low center of gravity coupled with suspension that lets you ride through tight city traffic and twisting miles of highway with equal ease. The best mountain drives ever....Fire it up and see where it takes you. Show less

The Harley-Davidson Nightster is a distinctive member of the Sportster family, known for its rugged, minimalist design that pays homage to the brand's heritage while embodying a modern edge. It typically features a dark, aggressive styling that sets it apart from other Sportster models.

It often includes a chopped rear fender, solo seat, and low-slung profile, giving it a classic bobber-inspired look. The overall silhouette is muscular and compact, emphasizing a no-nonsense approach to riding. Engine and Performance: Powered by Harley-Davidson's renowned air-cooled Evolution V-twin engine, the Nightster delivers a blend of torque and responsive power suitable for urban cruising and open road adventures alike. The engine's distinctive rumble adds to the bike's charisma, contributing to the visceral experience of riding a Harley-Davidson. Riding Experience: The Nightster is designed to offer a raw, elemental riding experience. Its low seat height and agile handling make it suitable for maneuvering through city streets with ease, while its torquey engine ensures a thrilling ride on highways and winding roads. Show less

Bike purrs like a kitten, but with a great Harley sound. I get compliments every time I ride it. Have done long rides and short rides. It's always fun. This is a great looking and great running machine! Show less

I've ridden this Sportster for about 6 years now and it handles and performs beautifully. Whether you you want to cruise along at a steady pace or blast down the freeway like a sport-bike this motorcycle is happy either way. Although this bike has a double seat and rear foot-pegs the passenger comfort is fairly minimal. The exhaust note has a deep healthy sound that I love. The saddlebag capacity is fairly small, but there's room for some essentials. I recently bought a used Harley Trike, if there was room in my garage I would be keeping this Sporty. Show less

First motorcycle.. was a basket case when I got it. Have pictures from the day I got it to the day it was finished. Very comfortable ride, many many new parts and upgrades. Looking to find something a little bigger and more reliable. Will to trade and add some cash. Really want a Softail or dyna. Show less

Has something like 1,000 miles on it. Was for my wife and she just doesn’t ever ride it and has lost interest in it a while ago. Newer battery, runs perfectly. Just been sitting in the garage and I fire it up every now and again. Basically like new. Show less

I’ve owned my 883 for 23 years. I’ve had other bikes BMW GS, V Strom and a couple of others but I’ve always kept the Sporty. Have ridden it around Australia twice. Taken it on dirt tracks and up rugged mountains. It’s a great bike if you set it up right. Get a comfy seat, longer shocks and some saddlebags. If you’ve got little soft hands and a delicate bottom then well this bike is not for you. The 883 is a way better bike than the 1200 it’s better on fuel and cruises real nice at around 110kmph. Never had any issues. Change the fluids, and replace the battery every 5 years. The sportster is a great bike. Show less

This bike has been a 5-Star for me. Runs great, always starts, quality Harley-Davidson. I have the 100 year anniversary edition. I have custom tailpipes, seat, a couple other things to make it more my style. Show less

I have tried extensively to purchase a petcock valve for my 03 Harley and they keep telling me that the card is declined, it's has a few hundred dollars more than the purchase on it. The money is there but it evidently is not good enough for California Motorcycles. Don't understand why you would not accept Visa. Anyways someone else will 🇺🇲 Show less

Fun and easy to ride. Well balanced just under powered I think. Awesome starter bike. I'd recommend replacing stock shocks and seat. Ride is real rough and you can feel every little bump in the road. The stock exhaust makes it sound like a lawn mower. Kinda sad for a HD. I put some shark road slip ons on mine. Sounds better than my triglide with neighbor hater slip ons.. Show less
