Well I would probably go with the blackline. I know that they don't make the train anymore, but the blackline is also not in every driveway. The only thing that would make me lean to the train would be the wider rear tire. At the end of it all though just go with your gut. I don't think you can be disappointed with either bike.

For me IMO I would go with the 'Train. I'm not a fan of the Blackline.

the Train is the way to go. IMO. 107 kit parts and labour aprox $4000.00. blow the doors off any SE kit.

I'm not a fan of the Black Line either. I would go with the Train.

Might want to factor in the cost of new pipes/AC and a tuner because you will need it with the 2012 engine.

Ding ding ding.you'll be way ahead with you're own style.I will never buy another new bike,but that's just me.

how much are they asking for the train. As far as the 103 motor. The parts to convert from 96 to 103 is like $400. Stage 1 and the right cam and you'll dust a factory 103. I don't know what the current warrenty is but last time I looked at a new bike it was only 1 or 2 years. When I bought my train I saved 6 grand. It already had the pipes, a/c, tuner, lowerd and nicer pegs, grips and all that. It also only had 2200 miles on it.

Hope they do something about those handlebars on the Blackline. I would go with a Night Train if I had a choice between the two.

This is the best point new bikes take a lot of $$ to make it right. Gov't mandates are just making it harder and more costly to mod
