Overview

Introducing the 2000 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train, a motorcycle that epitomizes the essence of the custom-cruiser category. With its dark, brooding aesthetic and a design that pays homage to the classic chopper culture, the Night Train stands out in Harley's lineup. This model was crafted for those who appreciate raw power combined with a minimalist style, making it an enduring symbol of freedom on two wheels. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising along winding highways, the Night Train captivates riders with its rebellious spirit and unmistakable presence. At the heart of the FXSTB Night Train lies a robust 1449cc V2, four-stroke engine, delivering a thrilling 63 horsepower at 5300 RPM. The torque is equally impressive at 106 Nm, available at a low 3200 RPM, providing a delightful punch when you twist the throttle. This balance of power and torque translates into a spirited ride, with a top speed of 170 km/h (105.6 mph) that is sure to satisfy any adrenaline junkie. The air-cooled engine, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox and a reliable belt final drive, ensures a responsive and pleasurable riding experience that only a Harley can deliver. The Night Train's engineering is thoughtfully complemented by its design features. With a weight of 305 kg (672.4 lbs), the motorcycle maintains a low center of gravity, enhancing handling and stability. The low seat height of 638 mm (25.1 inches) makes it accessible for riders of various sizes, while the single-disc brakes both front and rear ensure that stopping power is as strong as the engine's output. Adding to its allure is the sleek black color scheme, embodying the motorcycle's dark and edgy persona. The electric starter provides a convenient and modern touch, ensuring that riders can hit the road without delay. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 1449cc V2 engine offers robust torque and horsepower, making it an exhilarating ride.
  • Stylish Design: The Night Train's minimalist aesthetic and blacked-out components give it a classic yet edgy look that turns heads.
  • Low Seat Height: The 25.1-inch seat height enhances accessibility and comfort for a wide range of riders.

Cons

  • Weighty Build: Weighing 305 kg (672 lbs), the Night Train may feel heavy for some riders, especially at low speeds.
  • Limited Storage Options: As a custom-cruiser, the Night Train lacks built-in storage, which may be a consideration for longer trips.
  • Basic Technology: While the bike delivers on performance and style, it doesn't feature the advanced technology found in newer models, which may not appeal to tech-savvy riders.
