20 fields on record

The 2002 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Night Train is a blacked-out Softail with a low, mean look. Its air-cooled 1450cc Twin Cam 88B makes 63 hp and 115 Nm through a five-speed gearbox and belt drive, for a top speed of about 155 km/h. A very low 676 mm seat and 293 kg dry weight give it a planted feel.

Best for: Built for bold, low-slung boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than outright performance or long-distance efficiency.
Built for: A dark, muscular Softail with a stripped-down, aggressive Night Train attitude, favoring torque-driven cruising over high-rev thrills.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a nimble daily commuter.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
