Ever since its introduction in 2007, the Nightster model has prowled the streets with a deep, menacing growl. Its low, dark, and aggressive, and its styling has brought back some serious attitude to Harley’s Sportster family. With chopped front and rear fenders, a side-mounted license plate, a low 25.3" seat height, old-school front fork gaiters, and raw-boned graphics, the Sportster Nightster has become the ideal no-nonsense cruiser bike Harley-Davidson fans have come to love.
Other design details of the Sportster Nightster include a chopped front fender with black brackets and lightening holes, a chopped rear fender with black supports, black fork sliders and fork gaiters, a Sportster Classic solo seat, a black headlamp body with a black visor and satin trim ring, a low-rise handlebar and black riser, and a new pair of laced steel wheels with chrome spokes and black hubs.
What makes the Sportster Nightster all the more impressive, apart from its design, is its performance capabilities. To ensure that the Nightster upholds its bad-ass reputation, Harley fitted the bike with a rubber-mounted 1200cc Evolution V-Twin powertrain with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system and mated to a five-speed transmission.
Unlike the rest of Harley’s family of models, the Nightster has been around for a little over four years. But in that time, it has become one of the most sought-after cruisers on the market, mainly because it’s stealthy look matches well with the customer’s need for a powerful and versatile cruiser.

Infosport Bike----"Back in his first full year of production Sportster 1200 Custom motorcycle, motorbike, which introduced the web-H Bike Builder D1TM factory setting process. The help of the generator bicycle, customers can customize their 1200 custom motorcycle seats, handlebars, foot controls, wheels, safety, painting, and the engine has completed the options you want, which is then mounted to the right of the plant. Even more dealer-installed accessories can be added, and seen on the site of motorcycle manufacturer. "
I agree with that, this bike can make its rider to shrill and on the other hand to feel some thrilling action. I think its better than XL1200C Custom, with design but not in fuel capacity area.
