2008 Harley-Davidson XL 1200N Nightster review from United States of America
"Finest bike I have yet owned"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The bike has just gotten better with mileage and age.
General comments?
This bike is solid and hugs the pavement tenaciously. I've taken the road for three to six hours at a time with no wearisome effects (except having to get off).
The fuel tank is small though (3.3 gal), so you will find yourself re-fueling every 2-2 1/2 hours.
