In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we discuss that Harley-Davidson recently flew me to Santa Barbara, California to test ride and review the 2022 Nightster.\xa0 It was a very quick 4-day trip, 2 of those days being travel days. Understand, Harley-Davidson paid for the flights, meals, and lodging. However, no contract was mentioned or signed and I was never told what I could or could not say, so I will give you an unbiased real-world biker review as always.

Now, I had many questions about this new Nightster and anticipated how it might feel and handle when riding it. There was only one way to find out and it started when I arrived at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort where I'd be staying for the next few days, and I got checked into my room. I quickly made my way to dinner where Harley had set up the "instrument of expression" launch event.\xa0

As I walked around the room this first night I had time to really think about what the new 2022 Nightster means now and to the future of Harley-Davidson as a company. I really had time to reflect on Harley-Davidson's rich history with their bikes of the past, and in many ways, they've carried much of that history over and put it into their present-day motorcycles. As Willie G. Davidson once said, "Everything we do is the notion that form follows function-but both report to emotion" and I wanted to see if that would be the case with the Nightster.

But, what do these new water-cooled Revolutions Max engines in the Pan America, Sporster S, and now the 2022 Nightster with the 975T version really mean?\xa0 Is Harley fazing out the traditional big V-Twin air-cooled engines? During my time in and around Santa Barbara, I'd get these questions answered and a whole bunch more.\xa0 Make sure to watch my review video to find out the answers.\xa0\xa0

I found the 2022 Nightster to be a fast nimble bike that was very capable of carving up twisty canyon roads.\xa0 The horsepower may be intimidating to new riders, but that can be mitigated by the different ride modes.\xa0 The bike can be tamed down by using Rain Mode, then a rider could progress to Road Mode, and eventually Sport Mode.\xa0 The Nightster was designed with customization in mind.\xa0 I think Harley did a great job designing it.

There were a few negatives I found, and admittedly they are a bit nit-picky.\xa0 First, the front-mounted radiator is not visually appealing to me personally.\xa0 I know it's required to get the performance and horsepower out of the engine.\xa0 I guess I'm old-school and I'll just have to learn to get used to the radiator.\xa0 Secondly, the plastic trim on top of the tank (airbox) looks cheap and is a bit flimsy.\xa0 I would have liked to see something made of metal in its place.\xa0 And lastly, the control switch housings were also made of plastic.\xa0 I would prefer metal ones like on my Street Glide Special.\xa0\xa0
