Overview

Introducing the 2006 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train The 2006 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train is a striking embodiment of the custom-cruiser category, standing out in a market saturated with generic options. With a price tag of $15,445, the Night Train appeals to those seeking both style and substance. It’s a motorcycle that captures the essence of rebellion, boasting a dark, minimalist aesthetic that resonates deeply with riders who relish the freedom of the open road. This model is designed not just for cruising but for making a statement, offering riders a bold platform to express their individuality. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Night Train lies a powerful 88-cubic inch (1442.15 ccm) V2, four-stroke engine. This beast produces a robust torque of 115.26 Nm at just 3000 RPM, providing an exhilarating rush of power right off the line. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 5-speed transmission that ensures smooth shifting and an engaging ride. The bike’s weight—295.3 kg (651 pounds) dry—combined with its 32° rake, delivers a low-slung, stable ride that glides effortlessly through urban landscapes and open highways alike. Fuel efficiency is another strong suit, with a consumption rate of 5.11 liters per 100 km, making it a surprisingly economical choice for a cruiser. Key Features and Technology The 2006 Night Train is adorned with features that elevate its desirability among enthusiasts. The new sculpted bobtail fender, paired with a fatter 200mm rear tire, not only enhances its aggressive stance but also improves handling and grip. The drag-style flat handlebars provide a sporty riding position, while the blacked-out components—including the tank console and rear fender supports—add a touch of stealth to the bike’s overall design. Color options such as Vivid Black, Black Cherry, and Black Pearl further allow riders to personalize their machines, ensuring that each Night Train is as unique as its owner. **

Pros

    Cons

    • Powerful Engine Performance: The V2 engine offers impressive torque and satisfying acceleration, making it a thrill to ride.
    • Striking Aesthetics: The dark, minimalist design, complete with blacked-out components, appeals to those who appreciate a bold and aggressive look.
    • Comfortable Ride: The low seat height (27.6 inches) and relaxed riding position make it accessible for riders of various heights, enhancing comfort during long rides.
    • Weighty Build: At nearly 650 pounds, the Night Train can feel heavy, especially when maneuvering at low speeds or in tight spaces.
    • Limited Passenger Comfort: The minimalist design results in a seat that may not be ideal for long-distance two-up riding.
    • Single Disc Brakes: While sufficient for casual riding, some enthusiasts may find the braking performance lacking compared to more advanced dual-disc systems found on contemporary models.
