Cool-Motorcycle reviews Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Night Train 2008

Harley-Davidson-FXSTB-Night-Train-2008_1

An unforgettable dark profile with an even darker soul.
A narrow front whell, drag-style bar on risers and forward controls. In other words, if you are 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 texture of the 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 balcktop.
