2006 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2006 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train utilizes a 1442.2 cc (88 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 115.3 Nm (85 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 101.6 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 8.9:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FXSTB Night Train measures 309.3 kg (682 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 701 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,699 mm (66.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.11 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 370 km (230 miles) between fill-ups.
