- Meg and Cameraman review the 2023 Harley Davidson Nightster Special!!! Our motovlog follows Meg and Cameraman’s life on two wheels. We do everything from basic installs, to bike weeks, to touring, to test rides, to riding the greatest roads in America. We look for Big Foot along the way. Our attitude is to make the most out of every moment right now and do everything we are passionate about because tomorrow is never promised. Meg rides a Harley Davidson Low Rider S. Cameraman (Michael- and no he dosen't mind the nickname) rides a Harley Davidson Breakout. We grew up in Westminster, Maryland and continue to live in Maryland in our adult lives. We frequently rides the roads on Carrol County, Frederick County, and Howard County Maryland. We also sell calendars and other channel related merch.
Cameraman and Meg own a car wash company together. Camerman has been in the car wash industry for over a decade. Meg is also an attorney who owns her own law firm.

Bought a 2024 Nightster S and absolutely love it!! It is sooo much fun!!
I’m so glad! It really is a fun bike.
As a previous owner of a 2022 Nightster, I agree with your comments; however, my bike had numerous problems from day one. Check engine light at high altitudes, no start issues from software bugs with the handlebar control modules, defective handlebar welds that could break while riding the bike, front wheel would lock up even with ABS brakes and a fuel pump that imploded at 15,000 miles. Luckily, Harley Davidson and my Dealership agreed to buy the bike back and sell me a bike at cost. I got a 2023 Street Bob. It is definitely not a sport bike, but a cruiser.
Glad they did the right thing
I’m injured and stuck in my house. Watching your videos is the next best thing to being out and riding. 😎
I’m so glad!
I’m injured too and doing the SAME thing. If you want another one here is a solo California camping ride I did on my 2019 sporty. th-cam.com/video/Ene5IHR--xY/w-d-xo.html
Me too, just had heart surgery last week.

I feel for you, sorry to hear.
Great video. I just bought a Nightster Special yesterday. Sounds like I made a good choice.
Great video thank you for sharing, hope you feel better soon. 😃
I’m new to motorcycles but I’m glad that I found your videos I really love the rides you do and the country we get to see .
Appreciate that.
Have 22 Nightster
I love it so far....
Thanks for the review..
Thanks for watching
Very interesting review! Looks like this bike is more accommodating to your height if you're a petite woman. Appreciate your input on this machine.
Having owned many fast bikes over the years and decades(I'm 65 now, eeks!), know the feeling about the "need for speed" that some of us have. My bike of choice is my 2004 GL1800 Gold Wing which I've had for 19 years now, with trouble free performance, and my hot rod bike is my 1979 Honda CBX 6-cylinder sportbike with turbocharger installed on it.
Thank you for a cool video, Meg & Mike!
Thanks for watching! Glad you love your Goldwing
I just purchased a 2024 Nighter and I love it .I haven't had any problems.
This was a great review. Probably the best video you have published. Very helpful info.
Aww thank you! Appreciate the kind words
I just got one and this bike is fun as hell. Light weight and has the same horse power and torque as my XR1200. I’m over the heavy touring bikes and this nimble bike does everything I need it to do.
Glad you are enjoying your bike.
I love mine too
@@troyclaus9258same! Just got the 2024 Nightster. What a smooth ride!
975 cc Revolution Max starts @ $13,500.00
Good vid yall, greetings from the REAL VIRGINIA, Southern Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains!! Be safe yall🤠
Awesome review!! Hoosier Wing 💫👍🏻🇺🇸😊
Thanks for watching!
Hi Meg and Michael,
So thanks for this more in-depth review ish of the Nightster. I test rode one kinda earlier this spring. There was snow on the roads, but I got to take it out around the parking lot. It handled that pretty well for the 8-10 mins. I was on it.
Here is my problem with the Nightster and the S. They don't sound like a Harley Davidson. I don't mind the looks so much. I don't care if it has some plastic parts or where the gas tank is. But I got A big problem with how it sounds compared to the price. I can get a bike very much how those sound and look for less than half the price. What is the point of it. Go get an Indian scout sixty that looks great and sounds great and save some money. Just my two cents!
Anyway, how it sounds one of My biggest deciding factors in owning a Bike. I know it's not practical, but I don't care. I mean, even that pregnant hippo steering Breakout mike rides at least sounds good...lol
Stay Safe!!!
Great review guys 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
My take on this bike as far as the mid controls for you. Since I'm an avid viewer of your channel I see your body position while riding alot. 😊 That said, it appears that this bike because the bars are forward to have to ride scrunched over to have your seat all the way in the seat. As you stated, putting a riser and pullback bars on would probably get you back in the seat and able to let your legs stretch out a bit. Maybe I'm wrong but it looked like you really had to snuggle up to the tank to ride this bike.
Awesome review, thanks! I own the 2022 Nightster. I like your suggested customizations. Here's what I did and really thought it was great. First, I agree that Memphis Road Warrior faring with an 11-in black windshield is perfect. They don't have one for the Nightster, yet, but the Memphis shade for the 48 fits perfectly on the Nightster. It's a huge difference. Second, S&S has a slip-on exhaust for the Nightster. It sounds awesome with a DP killer removed! It actually roars like a Harley now. The S&S website has a SoundCloud of the slip-on with the Db in the Db out. I will say that it sounds much better in real life, and the SoundCloud doesn't give it justice. But the slip-on exhaust was a huge improvement. Maybe only a slight improvement in performance. Third, I moved the rearview mirrors up onto the handlebars, closer to the windshield, so I didn't have to turn my head every time I needed to check them. That was also a huge help! Otherwise, I really like the bike as well! Thanks for the review and I look forward to hearing more.
I would love to see yours! Send me a pic megsmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com

Lightweight, powerful, handling, speed, great brakes. Congratulations to HD for finally making a bike that the Japanese have been making for decades. I raise my can of Bud to you. 🍺
LOL
Thank you!
Thank you!
I liked the Sportster for less weight and better handling also.
Yes! Fun little around town bike.
I don’t dislike the platform. You have to have entry level bikes, I get it. But those leaf blower exhausts need to go. Put some styling pipes and a good paint job, and you’re set!
I like the retro tank badge.
A leaf blower sounds better.😂
What's entry level about it?
Totally agree Awesome bike . I am about to put the mini apes on mine . The forward control are good but the mid controls are not too bad . Meg what Sissy bar bag are you using please ? Enjoy what time you have left with the bike .
I’m not sure- it came installed on the bike. It’s a Harley part but I’m not sure which one.
the indicator switch is on one side right? do they self cancel?
Hey can you tell what saddlebags are you using with 2024 nightster special?
Harley ones.
what backrest and bags? thanks
Thanks for watching!
It sounds like a 350-500cc jap bike. And I hope it would run stronger than a 883 since it has a bigger motor. At least it is a motor that today’s HD shops will work on since they don’t want to work on the older bikes. Ride safe!
You really have the best vids and pics. Hope your feeling. Better 👍👍👍😊
Getting there slowly. Appreciate the support.
The best cruiser HD has ever made and probably the best sport cruiser on the market atm.
Lmfao 🤣
Meg are you guys going to Gettysburg bike rally this year? It would be super awesome to meet you and cameraman lol this will be my first rally there but I was in myrtle too. Hope to see you soon.
Yes, on Friday only.
Meg have you ever thought of test riding a triumph bobber?
Meg I here you are riding west, are you coming through Colorado. If so there are some great rides out here would love you and Camera man to give me a shout out. I even have a cabin that you can stay at.
Aww thank you! Email me at megsmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com
Hope your feeling better. Cool vid 👍👍👍😊
I may have missed this, did Meg say how tall she is? I’m a short rider myself and my Indian Scout Rogue might need some company in the garage. I’m 5’6” on a good day can I fit this bike? I guess I should take my lazy self to a dealer and find out. Great review btw.
"Brakes": for stopping a motorcycle. "Breaks": When your at work and its time for coffee time.
Your and its when you want to express ownership. You’re and it’s when you want to say “you are” and “it is.”
@@marcverdi665 hahahha. the dipfrickery of some ppl, amIright?
Hey Meg, do you know which saddlebags Harley-Davidson put on there?
They are Harley bags.
Sounds like a Honda 😮
Sounds like more like a Lawnmower
Yes, I agree! S&S sells a slip on for it. With the Db killer removed, it sounds MUCH better. Roars more like a Harley should 😊
Meg! What do your kiddos think of the Sporty? Have you taken them out yet? :)
I would like to see you ride a Trike
Maybe one of these days 😜
'23 Sportster: More plastic than a PC800. Idles like a Rebel. Soul-less like Jochen. Well-made vid as usual.
Thanks for the kind words!
If you used the navigation feature, how'd you like it?
I’ve used navigation and it’s a bit small on the screen but it’s nice since it still displays ride data too.
Would this be an okay bike for beginners?
In my opinion, it’s the best hike for beginners
C'mon, you know the first thing you would do is paint it red. 😁
lol, I might do that too!
Will u be goin to ocean city md bike week this year 2023 would love to meet u an Michael
Yes we will! We usually set up there at the convention center! Looking forward to meeting you.
Same can't wait I'll b looking for you
I have come to the conclusion this weekend I need a seat. I could never ride the miles you guys do with this one.
glad you're having fun. sorry about you're voice.
It's always cameraman taking you for a ride, when are you taking him for a ride again!?
Lol I’ll try to get him on board for that.
Breaks?
A LOW SEAT WILL HELP A LOT.
i love spandex
Anyone that has her patreon. How it's it like? Been thinking about buying it.
These "sportsters" will go the way of the Vrod.
I am not a fan of the bow on the helmet. Maybe it’s the placement.
I don’t like the powerband being so high in the rpm range. I like to feel it pull at 2000 to 2500. And the sound is just not right. Sounds like a honda. I know it has performance but not the performance or sound I want. Shame because it is a good looking bike. Except that exhaust. Need a good looking 2 to 1 or true duals. May improve the sound too but not by much.
If not for the emblems you may think this is an Indian motorcycle. Huggzz from Kentucky yall SEMPER FORTIS
❤
duroooooooooo!!!puerto ricooooo!!!yamahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Can't you just loosen the Bar clams and angle them back for shorter arms..?
Nah- the riser isn’t long enough.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Now you will have to test ride something with the 1250 Revolution engine in it ..and get it tuned to 150 HP like the Pan America is ..
You can loosen the clamp and bring the bars back about an inch. Depends on where they started out though. If you do this, you’ll need to adjust the mirrors. I’ve done this to my bike already.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I rode in the Adam Sandoval Convoy the last Couple of Days. It was fun .
I saw a Sportster S today some young guy riding like an idiot right on the rear bumper of a car..
The radiator looks stupid. They could have styled it to be less conspicuous, and if you happen to drop that sucker, the radiator would probably be the first thing to break, and you better have AAA , because you’re going to have to flat bed it home.
Triple A is always a good idea
Triple A is always a good idea
@@megsmotorcyclejourney 😜
Did you sell the low rider
No- this is a loaner. I still have the Low Rider.
I just can’t get into that motorcycle as a Harley. It just looks cheap…Chinese-like. I can understand that powertrain for an enduro but not for a cruiser. The fake gas tank kills me.
To each their own. I’ve had a fun time with it.
Sounds kind of like a Honda
Three gallon gas tank
I’m sorry I do not hear the sound of a hearty sounds more like a lawnmower
LoL...
the REVO motors don't even sound that good, if i had one of these new REVO powered HD's, id keep the exhaust stock and hope its quiet enough to hide the exhaust note. There is just no way to make these new engines sound good, it's sad BUT they are great engines and great bikes, just the sound factor missed the mark IMO.
Wow, that sound is horrible, what is Harley thinking.
One of the most special things about a Harley is it’s distinctive sound.
Oh well, I guess that’s what you get when you go to a liquid cooled engine. I wonder if you could make it sound a bit better with some tuned exhaust pipe ?
Perhaps, I had fun riding it though.
@@megsmotorcyclejourneylooks like a comfortable bike for sure however your low rider s is a sweet looking motorcycle. Back in 92 i owned a softail custom which my wife and I really enjoyed and then our girls were born and I regrettably sold it.I should of parked it in the back of the garage and covered it up to enjoy another day. Now all I have are fond memories and photos. Kids are grown and I’m back in the saddle on a Triumph tiger 900 adventure bike and now looking at a Pan American.
Would your channel ever look at doing a review on that bike ?
Bikini Fairing ...
WOW what a sexy voice and a far as the Nightster goes not for me. It is not a pretty bike to me and not enough chrome. I can't wait to see you guys on the tour.
Can’t wait to see you too Al!!
Chrome is ugly to me so...
It sounds like a metric bike.
Sorta has a power band like one too.
Mike stop breathing in the Mic 😁😁
I’ve never noticed and he’s the best cameraman there is.
But it looks like a plastic toy motorcycle
Its a nice bike bro your just being a lil girl about it try maybe these girls can teach you a thing a two
@@kvrma8893 Ahh, you must own one.🤣🤣🤣
@howdiedoodie8587 just saying it's a nice bike but if you wanna be a Lil girl about be a Lil girl
*So I'm the only who thinks these are better machines but (by absence of opinion) not attractive at all.*
The mechanical word is "brakes" not breaks. Breaks are a pause in your schedule as in taking a coffee break. The mechanical term would be I had to apply the brakes in order to stop. Not to put down or anything just sharing knowledge. I notice how you had spelled it, and the context in which the word was used. The proper use and spelling of the English language is something I take pride in.
I did watch all the way through the video as always and do enjoy your content. Just wanted to point out the homophones. Which are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings.
Looks and sounds like just another japanese motorcycle nothing sets it apart to me its very blah nothingness not as ugly as it could be but it just looks like a Honda rebel sounds like one too it sounds awful looks as bad as it sounds and costs to much why would anyone buy it over the rebel or any other japanese bike i think its a very bad mistake on Harley Davidsons behalf and very well could kill the brand heck i think it will no doubt
I love mine. Best bike ever. Maybe you are not the target audience. I bet your nickname is Skeeter
