2016 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special Photo Gallery
We put almost a thousand miles on a 2016 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special and man, did those miles sure go by super fast.
“These long and low works of art are the most radical edge of the Harley-Davidson line-up. A muscular mix of dragstrip performance and menacing street looks. Explosive, off-the-line power coupled with cutting-edge technology. The V-Rod family’s liquid-cooled 1250cc V-Twin Revolution engine, Brembo performance brakes, a slipper clutch and hidden ABS adds a layer of smooth precision,” says the latest Harley-Davidson press release.
“The Night Rod Special model is a sinister-looking machine with a Revolution engine that delivers a V-Twin growl and massive power. It’s styled for performance-minded enthusiasts who like a blacked-out, no-hassle ride, and an aggressive, drag-inspired riding position.” Yep. Totally agree with that.
