Default No 2013 Nightster?

Looks like the Nightster may have got the ax for the 2013 line up.

I heard about this a while back that they were going to discontinue the Nightster. I was wondering why as well. It seems to be a popular bike.

Because most people would rather have a blacked out bike than a greyed out bike. Don't see why they wouldn't black it out though?

My bet is most people would rather buy the 48. I don't really blame them I'd pick it as well if it was out when I got my bike.

I love my nighty....I dont see why they dont just black out the engine like on the iron and keep producing it...Although it has been around for almost 5 years now so it doesnt surprise me they would remove it to keep the line up fresh.
