Nightster is my choice! Great video. Thanks!

The Sportster S I found uncomfortable being perched on top and spread out so far but that’s due to nerve damage issues in my spine acquired over a 38 year span of riding everything, dirt, trials, cruiser, cafe you name it. The 2023 Nightster Special has my name written all over it just not my wallet quite yet. Brilliant step forward for Harley despite the complaints of traditionalists. Plenty of air cooled mills left for you guys

Definitely went with the Sportster S; cruise, forward controls, 121 HP, heated grips, tech package, bobber styling, flat tracker exhaust, wind-screen and tail options, were the way to go for me. The down side for me is the fuel capacity. The Sportster S should have a 4.0 gal tank; on the other hand, the firm suspension (although adjustable) is tight enough that you're going to want to get off and walk around every 120 miles or so anyways, so the extra fuel stops are not really a problem. The preload adjustment (knob) on the single rear shock is a win for the Sportster S.

Configurable ride modes is pretty hip, on the Sportster S. Although both bikes have LED all around (all modern bikes should follow suit) the pill shaped front lighting aesthetic of the Sportster S is preferable for me, and at night is really superb.

Prefer the looks of the Nightster, more of a traditional Sportster look, but it should be much cheaper.

Fantastic vid mate, enjoy watching and listening what you do and say. My wife and I will be looking at these both for us. After riding them we were blown away. These are modern Harley Davidson’s, the most important thing though is they fit us more than all the other bikes we have ridden, regardless of being a Harley or not. Ride safe 😊

prefer looks of nightster but harley in my opinion doing good job 👏
keeping eye out for rumored small bmw cruiser roctaine.

I bought a 2023 nightster S, for my wife, but I myself would prefer the Sportster S

[rockeight]

Thanks mate great video, looking forward to the nightster ride..

thailand nighster S is $17, 000 usd. Sporster about the same before you add pillions seats; sissy bar; new handle bar; add $1500.00 usd to make it useable. i hear big differnce in control with fat tires ! Asked the dealer; sit on the seat; stretch the pegs on the sporster and you can't reach the handlebars !! amazing.

The Nightster Special is a great bike which addressed some of the things you didn't like Nightster.

[p.c.h.]

Thanks for all the info, it’s simple, the Sportster S for me, the Nightster for my wife (although I will borrow it once in while)

[heldermarrelha]

O came to the same conclusion and just bought my self a 2024 Sportster S 👍👍

[pmdinaz]

after this, I'm reading through the 2024 Nightster S vs the Sportster S
thank you kindly sir

[toofastnobrakes]

Would looove to see a comparison like this between the S and the new FTR1200.
Also glad to see the visual comparison on the lean angle. That’s a great first 👍

As an owner of the sportster s and have ridden the nightster I can say I love both bikes. But definitely more bang for your buck with the sportster s. I'll be buying my wife the nightster in the future tho.

[dougroberts]

Thank you for this video and I've made my decision, it's the S model, the Low Rider S that is.

[ApexPredatoroh]

I stand at 6'1 as well and ended up going with the nightster mainly because of the handling and torque snapping on faster, I test drove both bikes back to back and the nightster hit 60 faster than the sportster S, maybe it's just me but I believe the nightster was the better buy for ME but everyone will be different. The forward controls on the Sportster S are a little uncomfortable with the handlebars and the ride position will make you uncomfortable after mer minutes on the bike, however, the nightster, I've ridden for 4-6 hours at a time and have never been uncomfortable on it. My only complaint with the nightster is the lack of accessories but it being Covid times, I understand. I simply cannot wait for Screaming Eagle to get some performance parts for the nightster on the market so I can wipe the road with every Sportster S I see.
Hope this was helpful.
