Well, I guess I'm the nut. I think it looks OK. However, you can't go far with that peanut tank (about 3 gallons) and the lowered suspension will beat you to death on the highway - no travel to speak of.
So, No, I wouldn't buy one...but it's not fugly, either. That's ZX-13.5 territory.

Who CARES what it looks like? (the 'Busa was WIDELY panned as ugly early on) - the question is "what can it do?" and the answer is "not much"
Buth there ain't nothin' wrong with it that a few thousand engineering man-hours couldn't fix:
"design refined from the racetrack" - LOL - What track? Where? What bike and rider? A Buell?
"The Nightster is offered only in North American markets" - Read this as "Europeans aren't stupid enough to pay Harley prices for tired design and putrid execution"
"* Rubber-mounted 1200cc XL Evolution engine
* Medium Gray powder-coated engine with polished and black treatments (This is a 'performance' feature?
)
* Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI)
* High-compression, high-flow cylinder heads
* High-performance cams"
OK Harley - how much dry weight, how much torque, how much horsepower? I doubt THOSE numbers ever get into a Harley ad.
Try something NEW - hire about 10 Mechanical Engineers and then LISTEN to them, not just the children with the marketing degrees

it feels like back in late 70's...(look at the dust boots and the rear shock...) and also the name tells everything..."Nightstered..."you can hang out only at night...
just another broken arse project..."They come out at nite, they mostly come out at nite..." from movie Aliens"
