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.
That train with 2500 miles looks very tempting .I would go with the NT.Save loads of cash and mod it to your taste.It looks like a new bike. But as mentioned no warranty.I don't think that would stop me though.Especially if thats what you always wanted.Plus its cool that they don't make them any more.Its like you have something kind of special.I have always been a BIG fan of the NT though.So my opinion may be a bit biased.
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.
