Compare 2023 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® vs Sportster® S
The Harley-Davidson® Sport family has been expanded with the 2023 models that are now available to test ride and purchase at Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson®. The 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S delivers riders a Sportster® that is designed in the 2020s and not beholden to the classic characteristics established in the 1950s. The 2023 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® is a sport cruiser as well, but it has a classic silhouette and delivers a ride experience that is a bit closer to its roots.

What’s New for 2023
There are new color options for the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S but otherwise no major updates. Harley-Davidson® is offering new color options for the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® as well, but the big change here is that the brand has introduced the Nightster® Special. This allows the standard Nightster® to be a bit more stripped down and still one of the most affordable rides in the lineup, and customers who want to spend a little for some advanced tech and additional color options can choose the Special.

Ride Characteristics
Both models are sport cruisers, but the fundamental difference when comparing the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® vs 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S is that the design of the Sportster® S fully embraces a modern look and feel whereas the Nightster® maintains a classic appeal. The Sportster® has a more aggressive stance, wider tires and forward- rather than mid-mounted foot controls.

Performance
A liquid-cooled powertrain powers both of these motorcycles, but another important difference in breaking down the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Nightster® vs 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S is the raw power. The Revolution® Max 1250T on the Sportster® S doles out 150 horsepower whereas the Revolution® Max 975 delivers 90 hp. The Sporter S also has three preprogrammed ride modes—Road, Sport and Rain—and a fourth user-definable mode. The Nightster® Special has those modes as well.

Customization
Vivid Black is the standard color scheme included in the MSRP for all of these bikes at Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson®, and all three of these models have a dark, modern aesthetic. Premium color options are available and differ between the three models. Your choices for the Sportster® S include Gray Haze, Bright Billiard Blue and White Sand Pearl. Your sole premium option for the Nightster® is Redline Red, and the Nightster® Special lets you pick from Industrial Yellow, Bright Billiard Blue and Black Denim.
