We ride the all-new 2022 Harley-Davidson Nightster! H-D has pulled the covers off its latest addition to the modern Sporster family, powered by the liquid-cooled Revolution Max 975T 60-degree V-twin engine.
The 2022 H-D Nightster might use a name from the past, but nothing about this bike is old. It utilizes an entirely modern stressed-member chassis and engineering techniques that improve handling, braking, and engine performance, elevating the Sportster to new heights. Still, the Nightster tips its hat to the Sportster faithful by including classic Sporster styling cues such as the iconic peanut fuel tank, standard fork, twin shocks, and traditional swingarm.
Powering the Nightster is the Rev Max 975T V-twin engine that gives Harley-Davidson fans more-more of everything. This modern mill makes a claimed 90 horsepower at 7500 rpm and 70 ft-lbs of torque at 5000, spooling up nicely and pulling hard all the way through the rev range. A soft bottom-end quickly gives way to loads of useable midrange power, capped off by a zesty top-end rush that the air-cooled Evo engines could only dream of achieving. There are three ride modes to choose from; Sport, Road, and Rain, as well as traction control and ABS, which reaffirm the Nightster's new-age technology.
The stressed-member chassis design is a huge benefit, too, as this new Nightster handles incredibly well, letting you use up all 32 degrees as you please. It tips in gently and tracks through the corners with precision. While the suspension does keep it old-school visually, the fork and shocks provide much more support and comfort than Sportsters of old, although a hard-edged hit in the rear will still be felt through the chassis.
