Man oh man. How is it my 8 year old Denim black 107" Night Train so much better than the new bikes? Anyone else notice this?

I don't know? But, I feel the same way about my '08! I bought a '15 Forty Eight because they caught my eye in '10, which was the first time I saw one. The 'Train is my favorite ride though!

Default Hey!

You can't ask a question with a sub-question! The actual answer is the Softail Slim.

Lol at post 666. Didn't have it in me to trade mine in, so I just upgraded the motor. Love it even more now.

One of the best Harleys ever made, even better now they're no longer made and seem to be disappearing into what ever hole no longer made bikes disappear into.

I agree...one of the best ever! Looked around and couldn't find a clean low mileage copy so I bought this 07 Custom and turned it into this instead.

I've always loved the Nightrain. The subtle chrome against the black looks awesome. Tried to buy one after my Dyna but no chance. Should have ordered a new one before they stopped production. I went for the Custom in the end and turned it into a Daytrain!! 🤔.
Debatable whether it's the best production HD ever. For me it's up there with the Breakout and Slim.
