2008 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Night Train
AN UNFORGETTABLE DARK PROFILE WITH AN EVEN DARKER SOUL.
A narrow front wheel, drag-style bar on risers and forward controls. In other words, if you’re going to ride it, ride it like you mean it. Your rear end down low in the Badlander® seat. Everything else in the wind. The black powder-coated engine and six-speed transmission for pure joy on the wide-open road. The more metal parts you look at, the more textures of black you see. There’s a 200mm rear tire under the bobtail fender. Bullet headlamp out front. With a riding position few others dare, this bike overshadows more than just blacktop.
Base MSRP $15,895
