It's really a surprise for me too, here in europe, it's very fashionable and was told it was a good sale. Maybe they want to redirect new owner on other new more expensive models: Xbones, rocker...

Getting rid of the NT was a HUGE mistake, in my opinion. It was the MOCO's flagship bike in the "Dark Custom" line. It also attracted the younger generation and modders because it's a classic bike and it gives off that "Bad Boy" image/vibe. Something it's replacement, the FB-Lo, does not accomplish.
agree with you 100% I guess Im in the younger generation since I bought it at 28, but really was the bike I was searching for. (well now modded for my exact taste,lol)

Dealers in my area say the Night Train doesn't sell well. But I get alot of compliments on my bike wherever I go. I was surprised to hear of the drop.

Seems like the NT is more popular now than ever before. There was a time just a few years ago when Night Train's were not popular at all. Seems like they have actually picked up in popularity in the last year or so. I am sure the MoCo has something better planned around the same price point other than the FB Low.
