Nightster® Special

2026 Nightster® Special

Don’t let the 483 lb. frame fool you. The 2026 Nightster  Special is tuned to rip with a high-revving liquid-cooled 975T Revolution Max® motor, ABS, and full SHOWA suspension. Traction control, a blacked-out powertrain, and modern precision meet throwback attitude to redefine what a classic can be when it’s built for now.
