QUICKSPIN I 2022 Harley-Davidson Nightster
P104
down Rain mode made the
power super manageable, and I
felt right at home after only a few
miles. Due to the bike's light-
weight character, we made quick
work of the traffic and headed
for the outskirts of town. That's
where my confidence began to
grow, and I kicked the Nightster
into Sport mode.
Sport mode is what most
experienced riders will opt for
right away. It offers the most
aggressive power curve with the
least amount of rider interfer-
ence. More power, more engine
braking, you get the idea. This
is what I expected a Harley to
be. It hits hard and carries long
through the midrange RPMs.
New riders will welcome the Rain
and Sport modes, I did, as rider
accessibility continues to be a
priority for the modern era of the
Harley brand.
But once I found that Sport
switch, I refused to turn it off for
the rest of the ride. I was smiling
all day. Tearing up the mountain
roads with a big group of guys on
Rider aids like ABS,
traction control and
Harley's Drag-Torque
Slip Control System
(DSCS) also compliment
the Nightster's three
ride modes.
