Another novelty for this year from The Company is the most equipped version of its entry level cruiser, the Harley-Davidson Nightster Special 2023.
This model is based on the well-known Nightster but a few differentiating components are added that make it more special. And, of course, its price is also more special.
Thus, the V-Twin Revolution Max 975T -4T, LC, 8V, DOHC, IE- engine of 975 cc and 90 CV is the same, as is the chassis -the engine is a resistant part-.
And the engine retains the technical niceties of the first Nightster, namely forged aluminum pistons, hydraulic valve lash adjustment and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).
In the cycle part the conventional Showa fork, the two rear shock absorbers -also Showa- or the 320 mm front disc and the 260 mm rear with Brembo calipers are preserved.
The 11.7 l tank under the seat -the false tank above the engine is the airbox of the injection system-, fenders, full LED lighting with Daymaker headlight, as well as the flat handlebars are also the same.
The Harley-Davidson Special 2023 incorporates a new TFT instrumentation
The components that differentiate it externally from the Nightster are a new set of multi-link alloy wheels -19 and 16 inches-, the headlight mask and the passenger seat -which is optional at the base.
Also new are the handlebar risers that vary the riding position, with the handlebars positioned closer to the rider and slightly higher.
The instrumentation is a circular TFT screen with connectivity -analogue in the Nightster- and with all the necessary data, and in which the Road, Sport, Rain driving modes are displayed, but there is even more.
Thus, the mobile phone can be connected to the motorcycle to receive and make calls -through voice commands, if the helmet is equipped with headphones and a microphone-.
And it also equips GPS navigation, which transmits instructions to the motorcycle’s screen from the app installed on the mobile.
To top it off, it incorporates more electronics such as traction control, Engine Brake Control System (DSCS), as well as cruise control and a USB charging port.
The Harley-Davidson Nightster Special is already on sale starting at a price of 19,350 euros, about 1,400 euros more than the base.
