On a recent road trip to Quebec City from Toronto with Harley-Davidson, I got serious seat time on some truly beautiful bikes. While there wasn't a traditional tourer in the group, we had free reign of a number of cruisers - some of which were new, some not so much. Under sunny skies we set forth on our journey with me on the Fat Boy on the first leg. After stopping for lunch, gassing up the bikes and draining some bladders, we set out with yours truly aboard the Night Train.
Based on the Softail chassis, but leaner, lower and more raked out, the Night Train is one of many Harley models that offer the appearance and distinction of a pseudo custom bike with no assembly required. These out-of-the-box customs - which also include the Rocker, Cross Bones, Fat Bob and Street Bob to name a few, provide riders with the unique characteristics of a custom in a reliable, ready-to-ride package. They also provide the simplicity and peace of mind that come from buying a mass-produced motorcycle from an established manufacturer – not someone's garage. Instead of buying a bike someone else has tinkered with or choosing parts and accessories, installing them yourself and hoping they fit and look good, you can buy the 'custom' bike you want off a showroom floor - providing this setup is the one you want, of course.
