Women love bikes almost as much as we do. I don't care what your four-wheel ride is, nothing comes close to hitting the back roads, wind in your hair, and her arms wrapped tightly around you. And image-wise? Even my accountant looks like a bad-ass on his Harley. (Once he takes off his bifocals.)
If you're looking to add a rougher edge to your image, Harley-Davidson recently put a new bike on the streets with throw-back styling. They call it the Nightster, and it incorporates a whole bunch of old-school design elements Harley has used to harken back to "the themes of outlaw and rebellion that Harley's are iconic for." And can't we all use a little more outlaw and rebellion in our lives?
There's a newly styled logo on the tank and the paint is available in matte finish only, giving the bike an edgier look. The license plate is side mounted, with old-line front fork gaiters and low ride hight that give the Nightster a post-WW II feel. But with today's power.
How much power? They slapped a fuel-injected, 1,200 cc V-Twin on it, finished in the same matte gray as the tranny and airbox cover. There's no over-chroming on this street beast. That would be too civilized.
