Yes I finally joined the "Dark Side" after over 40 odd years of riding. My very first Harley. So in case you dont know its a Harley Night Train 2009. The last year this model was produced. Its a USA import that had 1700 genuine miles on the clock and in mint condition. Extras are the Vance Hines Big Radius pipes, Smooth Wheel Option, pull back risers, FOB security, other then that pretty much stock ready for a few touch ups. No doubt ya wanna how much? well a late model Night Train will go anywhere between 24 - 26k + on road. I paid 21k + on road. So Im happy as i'll always get my money back and then some.

Doesnt mean I give up on my busa, still have it with no intentions to sell.

Specs: V Twin 1584cc Fuel injected.
Blurb:
Embrace the darkness on the FXSTB Night Train, with features like a blacked-out powertrain and wrinkle-black trim on the engine covers, air cleaner, oil tank, rear fender supports, drive belt sprocket and fuel tank console. The long FX front end and narrow 21-inch laced front wheel counter a beefy 200 mm rear tire on a slotted cast disc under a Bobtail fender. Drag bars and forward foot controls create an aggressive posture whether cruising highways or dark alleys. A new low-profile front fender hugs the 21-inch laced front wheel and tire.

Nah nice choice enjoy your ride

[bazman]

Liking the all-black motor, Volvi ......less time spent polishing = more time enjoying riding!!

Have always said that I'd NEVER, EVER own/ride a HD.....but looking at that one, perhaps I should be thinking more along the lines of "never say never"!?!

Congrats mate!!

The spedo/tacho is from page 626 of the HD motor parts and accessories catalogue (got one with my Street Bob)

Nice bike :)

If your planning on doing the oil changes yourself one of these is a good idea http://shop.roguechopper.com/

This is a good metal/chrome poinsh.

And these are spoused to be a good tuner for them TTS

Why Volvi, WHY!!!

[Volvi]

Haha coz shes so mean and sexy, who can resist and boy can she grunt and howl like no other.

AKT, thanks for your tips, very useful. Have already ordered that oil puck, what an excellent idea and device.

Yea Bazman I always said never to a HD for many years, but then got to know the Night Train and was hooked, coz Im also not into with chrome on everything.

The new Harleys are pretty good. I could someday see a chopped "cafe" all black Vrod in my shed as part of a collection . . . but after adventure bike . . after the katana. . . after a trackie . . . after the vincent . . . maybe when I'm 80??

- have fun with her.
-hope it corners better than a M109R . . . sexiest looking, and most dissappointing bike I've ever ridden!

My interest started 2 years ago when I visited a friend who lives in Phuket Thailand. He has been a rider many many years always jap bikes and hes been a bike riding instructor as his full time job. His name is Brian Podem for those that might know the name. Then I see him there with a Harley. I say what gives? He says its his first HD and hes very impressed by it. It was an older Night Train and 1450cc. I rode pillion with him and was so impressed by the sheer grunt and torque of the thing and Im close to 100kg on the back. I left saying I must one day look into them.

I test rode a couple here in oz from dealers and I have to tell you my impression was that for the first time I actually felt a hunk of metal between my legs. Its pull, its grunt, its sound all impressed me. Mentally speaking i have never felt that with jap, english or italian bikes. Some many years back (1981) I once test rode a Heritage Softail. I was most unimpressed with all the rattle and shakes, that I never looked at HD ever again. When test riding the Night Train I also test rode a Dyna....not for me, more shake, rattle and roll.

So I have been shopping around now for over a year. The prices varied alot and then of course were all the american imports. I bought twice or left a deposit and for whatever reason the sale didnt go through and they were for alot more then this one I bought. The dollar kept going down, I reckoned imports are only going to get more expensive. I also noticed USA prices were getting higher from an average of 12k and now more 14.5k, so I better bite soon. I came across this one sold by www.shannonimports.com.au and being in Melbourne would save me freight costs. Went to see it 2nd day after being advertised, saw it was mint, checked out the guys import business as much as I can, didnt even bother test riding it, negotiated and left a deposit. Within days he tells me he was inundated with interstate calls wanting to put a deposit down blindfolded. But it was sold. There is alot of interest in this model in particular in oz, not sure why but theres a huge demand for them. Only a question of snapping up a good buy with low mileage and years. The other important factor about the Night Train is that HD stopped producing that model in 2009, hence the demand. Mine would be one of the last few produced in 2009. I reckon this model will only go up in value. You cant say that about many bikes these days.
