2009 Night Train

The 2009 Night Train stands out from most motorcycles out there, and in my opinion is the base of what can be a hot-looking black-out project.

Part of Harley-Davidson's "Dark Custom" lineup, the 2009 Night Train is the least expensive model of Harley's Softails.

As you'd expect from something called a "Dark Custom," Harley's thrown out the chrome and shiny bits you normally see on a motorcycle and, on the 2009 Night Train, replaces them with blacked-out versions of those parts straight from their factory. The 2009 Night Train power train has been blacked-out, along with the air cleaner, the rear fender supports, the oil tank, the fuel tank console and the drive belt sprocket.

The engine covers have also been darkened, with wrinkle-black trim.

The front end on the 2009 Night Train is the standard FX, with a new low-profile fender that sits on top of the 21-inch laced front wheel. That big front wheel offsets the thick rear 200 mm tire that's covered by the Bobtail rear fender.

With a low seat height and clean lines, coupled with the powerful rigid-mounted and counter-balanced twin cam 96B powertrain, the 2009 Night Train isn't bad looking at all in it's stock configuration - and can be customized to look as sharp as any motorcycle as you can find on the road today.

In the base vivid black, the 2009 Night Train has an MSRP of $15,899. If you'd like your Night Train in one of the color options, the price moves up to $16,244.

A factory-installed security system will add $345 to the price, while selecting the wheel option will cost you another $550.

The 2009 Night Train is available in black pearl, black denim and red hot sunglo.

2009 Softail Custom

Considered to be one of Harley-Davidson's most comfortable softail rides, the 2009 Softail Custom has classic looks combined with the functional ride that Harley riders want.

The looks are accentuated by the low ape-hangers set on a custom riser, along with the one-piece seat. The 21-inch front wheel is covered by a new low-profile fender, while the 200 mm 17-inch rear wheel brings 87.90 foot pounds of torque @ 2750 rpm to the road when you want it.

In 2007, together with the 1,584 cc, air-cooled, V-twin, DOHC engine and the addition of a standard six-speed gearbox, the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system became a standard feature on the Softail Custom.

The 2009 Softail Custom comes in these colors:

• Vivid Black
• Dark Blue Pearl
• Red Hot Sunglo (New for 2009)
• Two-Tone Deep Turquoise/Antique White (New for 2009)

Upgrading the Fatboy's wheels to the polished chrome aluminum set will cost you $700, and the Harley-Davidson factory security system option will run you another $345.

2009 Softail Deluxe

If there's one classic-looking motorcycle in Harley-Davidson's lineup, the Softail Deluxe is it. The fenders cover classic wide whitewall tires on chrome laced steel wheels. There's a tombstone taillight on the rear fender and a whole lot of visible chrome.

For 2009, Harley-Davidson redesigned the seat on the Softail Deluxe, implementing collapsible pockets in the shell that make the seat narrower when the rider straddles the bike while it's at rest.

With just a 24.5 inch seat height, the Softail Deluxe is among the lowest riding full-sized motorcycles, making it a good choice for shorter riders.

Classic design touches include wide whitewall tires on Chrome Laced Steel wheels, tombstone tail light on the rear fender, intricate cloisonné and sparkling chrome.

Function has to follow form, and the Softail Deluxe features an easy-reach pull-back handlebar and riser package, a lowered suspension, an extended kickstand and an exclusive integrated luggage rack.

The 2009 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe comes in a good variety of colors. Solid colors on the bike will set you back $17,794, while the two-tone colors have an MSRP of $18,104. Basic Vivid Black is $17,449.

The 2009 Softail Deluxe has these colors available:

• Vivid Black
• Flame Blue Pearl (New)
• Black Denim
• Red Hot Sunglo (New)
• Two-Tone White Gold Pearl/Pewter Pearl
• Two-Tone White Gold Pearl/Black Pearl
