Harley-Davidson RH975 Nightster keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #665 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Harley-Davidson RH975 Nightster retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #665 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 11 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Harley-Davidson RH975 Nightster sheds about 0% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,199 it falls to around $6,425 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,774, about $2.07 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Harley-Davidson RH975 Nightster bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
