The Harley-Davidson Night Train is a trim of the softail line of cruiser motorcycles that have been manufactured since 1984. The Night Train model has a longer and lower ride than the base-model softail cruiser. Because of the Night Train's relatively high engine displacement, it is aimed at those with previous experience in heavy cruisers.
