2017 HARLEY DAVIDSON
STREET 750 Launched !
• The HD Street Rod gets more power and better hardware than the Street 750
• The revised 750 cc engine makes 11 % more power and 5 % more torque
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 is targeted at a young and urban demographic and the new Harley-Davidson Street Rod will be adhering to a similar customer base . The new cruiser looks sportier with the flat , drag-style handlebar which makes for an aggressive riding position and new foldable bar-end rear-view mirrors . The overall design takes inspiration from Harley ’ s older XR1200X , while the blacked-out theme gives it a menacing appeal . Compared to the Street
750 , the Street Rod also gets a new seat shape to hold the rider firmly , while the seat height has been raised to 765 mm for a better view . The 2017 Harley Street Rod also gets forged brake and gear levers , aluminum rear set foot pegs and an aggressive lean angle up from 28.5-degress left and right , to 37.3-degrees right and 40.2-degrees left . With respect to power , the new Street Rod 750 uses the 749 cc liquidcooled , single OHC , 8 valve , 60-degree V-Twin High Output Revolution X engine that produces 11 per cent more horsepower and 5 per cent more torque than the Street 750 . Harley says that peak power arrives at 8250 rpm while peak torque of 62 Nm is available at 4000 rpm . The motor is said to offer a strong mid-range with the surge available between 4000 and 5000 rpm . While the bore and stroke are similar to the Street 750 ,
the new Street Rod is 5 kg heavier . The 750 cc motor has been revised to produce more torque on the Street Rod .
The new Harley-Davidson Street Rod also gets more sophisticated hardware with 43 mm USD forks up front with the fork rake tightened from 32-degrees to 27-degrees for quicker steering . The new rear twin shock absorbers feature an external reservoir to increase fluid capacity and maintain damping consistency . They now offer an increased travel of 117 mm , up by 31 per cent . The swing arm is slightly longer as well to accommodate the taller shocks . You also get increase ground clearance of 205 mm , while the 17-inch front and rear alloy wheels feature a new design . The Street Rod rides on 120 / 70 front and 160 / 60 rear MRF tires , while the braking setup has seen a massive improvement with 300 mm discs brakes at both ends with the front getting dual-piston calipers . ABS is offered as standard on the Street Rod .
