2025 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® Special

Features may include:

DESIGN

Blacked-out finishes set apart the Nightster Special with a menacing attitude straight from the factory. Vintage styling hints at decades of Sportster® history, while a load-bearing engine and updated chassis design provide radically new performance and ease of handling.

  • Blacked-Out Revolution® Max 975T Engine

High-revving, liquid-cooled V-twin power, completely blacked-out for a subtly aggressive look with contrasting matte and gloss finishes.

  • Vintage Styling

Flat line from the bottom of the gas tank through to the rear fender struts, with iconic peanut-shaped cover featuring a throwback ’70s tank graphic.

PERFORMANCE

Quick-revving power available wherever you want it, a low center of gravity for nimble handling and easy maneuverability, and tech to help maximize your ride, not interrupt it.

  • Two-Into-One Exhaust

Sweeping exhaust line with high-flowing performance, blacked-out style, and a tuned V-twin exhaust note.

  • Dual Outboard Rear Shocks

Dual outboard rear shocks give the Nightster Special that classic Sportster® line, tying it into decades of heritage while providing modern performance and riding comfort.

INNOVATION

A brilliant, Bluetooth®-enabled four-inch TFT display keeps you connected—whether that means listening to music, quickly changing ride modes, or tuning Rider Safety Enhancements.

  • Full Color Four-Inch LCD Display

A full-color, four-inch display provides key information at a glance as well as quick and intuitive menu navigation when you are moving through Ride Modes, maps, and more.

  • Ride Modes

Switch between three standard ride modes—Road, Rain, and Sport—or dial in two custom modes to instantly transform your ride. Road is your everyday setting, Sport ramps up power and response, and Rain smooths things out for slick roads.
