2026 Harley-Davidson NightsterSpecial

Motorcycle

Introducing the New Classic

Don’t let the 219 kg. frame fool you. The 2026 Nightster Special is tuned to rip with a high-revving liquid-cooled 975T Revolution Max™ motor, ABS, and full SHOWA suspension. Traction control, a blacked-out powertrain, and modern precision meet throwback attitude to redefine what a classic can be when it’s built for now.
