Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special reviews

This is a 1 Owner Harley (I'm # 2!)! I purchased this 'Night Train" from a friend of mine in Maryland whose husband passed away to get it out of her garage so she would not have to see it every morning when going to work and remind her of him! I had it shipped here to Clinton, Ar and have started it regularly and rode it once a month just to keep it running. I travel a lot in my business and pull a 38' travel trailer...no room for the bike. I sold my personal Electra Glide Classic and now rent them when I'm on the road throughout the US Show less

jacket while cruising on the open road, you know exactly what I mean. My 2014 Street Glide Special isn’t just a bike — it’s an extension of who I am on the road. This is my third Harley after riding a Bad Boy Springer and a Fat Boy, and I can confidently say this one hits a sweet spot between power, comfort, and soul. Built for the Big Boys — and the Open Road The first thing you notice with the Street Glide Special is how easy it is to handle. If you’ve ridden Harleys before — especially heavier models — this one feels surprisingly light on its feet. It’s quick, agile, and incredibly stable even when you throw it into tight curves or sharp turns on a mountain road. I’ve taken it through some serious twisties and backroads, and the way it holds the line is just beautiful. There’s charm in the way this bike moves — it’s confident without being arrogant. Smooth, Fast, and Fuel-Injected Freedom The fuel-injected engine is a blessing. No tuning headaches, no start-up issues — just twist the throttle and you’re off. Whether I’m riding solo or fully loaded for a weekend trip, the bike doesn’t miss a beat. The acceleration is responsive and powerful enough to give you that satisfying pull, but smooth enough to cruise all day long without fatigue. What stands out most to me is the feeling this bike delivers — it’s not just a ride, it’s a freedom machine. You feel it in your chest when you're out on the highway, with the road stretching endlessly ahead and the world falling away in your mirrors. There’s a spiritual kind of peace in that. Practical and Ready for the Journey What’s often overlooked about the Street Glide Special is just how useful it is. The saddlebags have plenty of space for all your essential gear, and the ergonomics are dialed in perfectly for long hauls. From daily rides to long tours, I never find myself wishing for more. It carries what I need without making a fuss. A Bike That Stays with You Harleys aren't just motorcycles — they’re part of your story. And this 2014 Street Glide Special has carved itself into mine. It’s more than just a set of wheels; it’s a companion on those early morning starts, late-night returns, and every beautiful mile in between. If you’re a rider who loves the balance between heritage, performance, and long-haul capability — and you appreciate the feeling of real freedom beneath you — this bike won’t let you down. Show less

I have reached out 3x in the past month expressing interest in purchasing but I have not heard anything which is a bit disheartening. I'm actually ready to purchase with cash in hand. Every time I look at bikes this one pops up. Show less

This is my fourth Harley-Davidson. I have owned a 2007 Road King CVO, then the 2021 Road Glide Special (Red/Black), next was the 2016 Heritage/Softtail, and finally, my fourth Harley, the 2021 Street Glide Special, Limited Edition Artic Blast Custom Paint, Number 325 of 500. This bike has been Dyno tuned, with upgraded Slimline Dual head pipes paired with Rinehart slip-ons equipped with DBX performance baffles...long story short, this bike is FAST! This bike also has a very smooth ride and great handling, and I have maintained all service records and only serviced at Harley-Davidson. A removable tour pack has been added, including waterproof speakers in the saddle bags. Lots of upgrades to say the least! You will absolutely enjoy riding this bike! Show less

The VROD started the REVOLUTION. The engine now in the Pan American. Sportster S and others. This engine performs, with power and linear torque that always makes you smite. With a set of Avon's, it almost flickable. Solid suspension and excellent breaks, make this the best Harley ever produced IMHO. Show less

Great bikes,they have plenty power,brakes are very good and the suspension works very good as well.-The water cooling and fuel injection is a welcome change also to help with those 80 degree days and better fuel mileage.- Show less

This is a fun bike with a lot of power and a unique appearance. I’ve had friends call my bike beautiful. At a 120 mph and pulling, you’ll start wondering if the wind will blow one of your legs sticking out in front off the peg. Water cold, single oil sump, 1130cc eye turning affordable crotch rocket. saddlebags will defile it And range of about 130 miles. The aluminum rims and forks put badly. Show less

I have owned this bike for over 14 years and never had any problem at all, I have owned a few Harleys and the Night Train has been the best, the most reliable machine I have ever owned, it has been all over and seen the country for years and when it comes down to it I would get on it before any other, dependable reliable and I have had more compliments on this bike everywhere I go, it’s a true Harley Davidson.

I purchased a 2021 Street Glide that I am disappointed with. It has less than a thousand miles and already the engie and ABS light have come on. It jackrabbits when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I had it checked out and was told that there was nothing wrong with it. Now two weeks later, the engie light and ABS light are on. This is the third new harley that I've purchased and every one of them have broken down with less than a thousand miles on them. This will be my last harley! Show less
