Harley-Davidson Street 750

The Harley Davidson Street 750 differs a lot from the other entry-level siblings of its, with the difference in styling and size being very obvious. The Street 750 doesn’t possess the bling and size of the bigger Harley Davidsons but has got the characteristic blacked sober appeal, with the traditional cruiser stance being on point.

The Harley Davidson Street 750 gets a basic round headlamp encased in a curved headlamp cowl. The slim front forks of Street 750 do get rubber padding, which manages to add some beefiness to the front profile of the motorcycle. On either side of the headlamp, there are small amber coloured round turn indicators.

The side profile of the Street 750 looks traditionally every bit a Harley Davidson motorcycle, with the chief family highlight here being the long peanut-shaped fuel tank. The large and bulky V-twin engine finished in an all-black theme matches brilliantly with the minimalist appeal of the motorcycle as well as other blacked-out parts like alloy wheels and single 2-into-1 exhaust pipe.

Street 750 has a low seat height for the single and curved single-piece seat. Just ahead of the engine and behind the forks, Harley Davidson has placed the big rectangular radiator. Moving towards the rear, Street 750 has got a plain and slightly blander look, with the most major highlight here being the small LED tail lamp mounted at the top of the rear fender.

Matching the simplicity and basic appeal of the overall styling of the Harley Davidson Street 750 is its small and round instrument console, which houses an analog speedometer and a small LCD display which displays odometer, trip meter and various small telltale info.

For a Harley Davidson, Street 750 has got an average fit and finish the job, with exposed wiring at places making it look like it has been built to a cost.

For an entry-level motorcycle by Harley Davidson standards, the Street 750’s overall mechanical hardware seems to be very decent and not much to talk about. The Street 750 is fitted with telescopic hydraulic forks at the front and a pair of hydraulic coil springs at the rear. The suspension, in a traditional manner, has been tuned on a softer side, thus making the overall ride quality of the Street 750 plush and comfortable.

In terms of brakes, Street 750 is armed with a single disc at the front and a single disc at the rear.

The Harley Davidson Street 750 might be lacking the road presence of its elder siblings a bit, but where it truly shows its family lineage is in its powertrain. The Street 750 is powered by the newest engine of the company as of now, which belongs to the Revolution-X family of the company’s small capacity engines. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, this engine puts up 49 PS of maximum power output and 60 Nm of peak torque output. 

Harley Davidson motorcycles anyways are not heavily equipped when it comes to safety, and the Street 750 being the most affordable motorcycle from the company isn’t getting too much on that front. However, it does come with the crucial presence of a dual-channel ABS.

For the new riders who are new to the big bike world and aspire to own a Harley Davidson, Street 750 is a great first stepping stone, given the affordable price point and powerful and torquey engine it has on offer. The agile handling and comfortable ride quality do make the Harley Davidson Street 750 a very practical big bike.
