A straightforward way to enhance a product’s attractiveness is by introducing new features that elevate its desirability.
Nevertheless, a simpler approach, even post-launch, is to reduce the price, preferably below a widely recognized benchmark that significantly enhances the offer.
Out of the blue, Harley-Davidson has implemented exactly this strategy with its currently most affordable motorcycle.
In a remarkable move, just a few months after revealing its 2025 models, Harley has lowered the base price of its Nightster sport cruiser to $9,999.
Nightster Highlights
The Nightster, a modern and sleek offshoot of the Sportster (which Harley continues to produce and enhance), already featured a classic design, reliable performance, and an attractive price point.
While the $500 price cut may not seem like a major amount (approximately a 5% decrease), the prospect of owning a four-figure Harley certainly catches my interest, albeit with two caveats.
The Revolution Max 1250, featuring liquid cooling, delivers an impressive powerband with 149 horsepower and 91 ft-lbs of torque at its peak. This power is more than sufficient to accelerate out of traffic and soar into the countryside, where only high speeds can satisfy one’s adventurous spirit.
Notably, this engine is integrated into the ST chassis as a structural component, a dual-purpose design that reduces weight while enhancing rigidity, leading to a more agile riding experience.
2. Stylish and Comfortable Seating
Harley DavidsonAdventure motorcycles often pose a challenge for newer and shorter riders due to their high seat heights. While this height is essential for adequate ground clearance on rugged terrain, it can intimidate those less experienced.
However, the ST’s seat offers a welcoming design. It sits 0.5 inches lower than the Pan America 1250 Special’s seat, making it more accessible.
Thanks to its adaptive ride height feature—technology that automatically lowers the bike when stationary—the seat can be adjusted to as low as 31.7 inches, a full inch shorter than the Special.

Just found this pic taken a couple of years ago, my dear old FXDX, gleaming in front of a steam train. This bike was sadly lost in an accident December 2015.
