Default New Nightster

Had my first look at the new Nightster yesterday. If I didn’t know better I would have thought it was metric. I get it emissions etc. I think the days of Harley continuing with air cooled motors won’t be long. Looking at the radiator on the front, the exhaust which looks like it came off a Spanish ship in 1600’s is sad. I’m no hater and live in the real world, the government people have passed laws and this is likely the best we can do. I also wonder about the Rev Max motor.... I realize it’s a 975 instead of the PA’s 1250 but I would be concerned that it might have catastrophic failures like the PA ... evidently caused by faulty oil pumps. I am glad I have my 2022 Heritage Softail Classic as air cooled will be a thing of the past. How I hope we don’t go the way of the four wheelers where every new car simply looks the same and lacks character. Time will tell.
