Rider Safety Enhancements are also included in the Nightster to further adjust motorcycle performance by utilizing chassis control, electric brake control and powertrain technology.
“The Nightster is built for nimble performance and distinctive style based on a motorcycle story laid 65 years ago and we are pleased to share this new chapter in the Sportster® legacy with our Malaysian customers. We witnessed a phenomenal response for the Sportster™ S model, and we are confident that this new best in class offering will resonate well with our customers.” said Sajeev Rajasekharan, Managing Director, Asia Emerging Markets & India at Harley-Davidson.
