I just bought a 2016 Street 750 with 20 miles on it for $4200!
You got great deal 🎉👍🏻
How’s it treating you?
What the hell dude. I’m saving 4k to buy my first motorcycle I want Honda shadow or a v star ⭐️ I do not want a grom I want a big bike for 4k
That’s a good deal
Hey ray it’s me you from the future and oh boy do I have some good news for you. You got a 1997 yamaha royal star ⭐️ it’s 1400cc monster 👹 I made it dude now help out your mom and keep working
My wife took the class on a Street 500. She fully intended to buy a "sport bike" but when we saw the 750 with upgraded exhaust, only 1200 miles and priced below $6000 she fell in love. We were just out for breakfast, no gear, no nothing...needless to say, I ended up riding it home 🤷🏾♂️.
Damn near same story! Got my first bike, had that $6000 price tag, couldn’t resist! Was so happy to get my first Harley at 18
Just got my first xg750 for 4k with only 1,945 k miles i cant wait for it to be nice out
@@ShaggyTheGrimReaper You're gonna love it!
@@antoniobrown3219 Shes lots of fun haha i dont get the hate for them at all i love it
I have this bike and it’s my first motorcycle. It’s been great for me to learn and cruise around back roads and in the city. Thanks for the review. Just reconfirm that I made a good purchase.
Britbee B how does it ride??, im 25 and looking for my first motorcycle, i dont like sportbikes
ivan d - The local HD has a street 750 in billiard white that may be my first bike.
john l If you're looking for a great handling, easy to ride cruiser I recommend the Yamaha Bolt and the HD Iron 883 or 1200. I myself started out on a '15 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec. ( I just recently supercharged it. It took a whole lot of work, but I managed to pull it off.) word of advice try to find yourself a bike with a low seat height as it will make learning to ride a hell of a lot easier. Good luck bro, And I hope you find the bike you're looking for. Safe riding! 👍🏻
Does this have a gear indicator on the gauges?
@@GonnBeAGoodDay It does - the LED screen lets you cycle through a trip meter, odometer, gear indicator, etc.
Wow. That's the 1st Harley I've ever seen that didn't sound like it'd rattle your colon loose! Impressed.
Bubble machine..... lmfao
I bought one for my wife this year as a birthday gift. She absolutely loves it! Can't lie, I've ridden it and it's a blast.
So I owned one of these little toys for about 3 years, and I'll give you some straight facts about it.
1. I'm 6'5'', 260 pounds. It's not meant for us big boys, but it was my first bike and I wanted something to learn on.
2. While it's not a big boy harley, I've had more fun on these little toys than I have had on any harley since then. Even with my big ass on it I could do 100 miles an hour, and absolutely throw it around the highways.
3. This bike is LIGHT. And liquid cooled (which means you never have to worry about this little toy getting too hot on you, believe me I TRIED). That means you can have PLENTY of reckless fun on them.
4. You absolutely do not need to buy this bike to learn how to ride with. My thought when I got it was that I needed a small bike to learn on, but it's the exact opposite. It took me just a few hours of actual riding time to be totally comfortable on it. But you're going to need a few hours of riding to get used to ANY bike. It might have been better to learn on, but spending thousands of dollars on a learning tool that's just smaller than the bike you really want seems like a bit of a waste.
5. The exhaust sounds like a moth farting a mile away. Get a new one IMMEDIATELY if you buy. I threw a vance and hines competition slip on on my old one and tore the quieting baffle out of it and it sounded almost like a real motorcycle (careful if you get pulled over without a baffle on, turns out cops frown on that)
6. The goal of any bike is quite simply, rubber down rider up. Small, large, long, short, fat, skinny, 1870 cc, 750 cc, all you want is something that's going to be yours that you can grow to be comfortable on. Get what you want, not what will get you ready for what you want. The learning comes quickly, almost like you're riding a bike.
The street is absolutely not a powerhouse, but if you're a smaller person (or a big guy like me that really likes to have reckless fun) you'll have a blast on them. Like any harley, you're gunna end up putting aftermarket parts on it after you buy it, so you can easily turn your little baby into a stinging wasp of a harley.
Honestly, I bought mine for 5 grand out the door with 250 miles on it. For five grand you can't really find fun on a level like that toy was, even my LTR450 was more expensive than that bike.
@TechSoldierOfficial while she wont have the acceleration to keep up with your FZ, after she gets proficient with the machine she'll have no problems bobbing through traffic with you. Best of luck with it!
Thank You for all your information on this Harley, I’m 5’3 & looking to buy my first motorcycle. I hear a lot of people making fun of the smaller Harley Davidson models. I think in the end, it’s up to the rider’s preference and comfort of the bike they will be enjoying out on the road.👍
i'm 5'7" 135lbs. I feel like this might be a decent bike for me. But with this price, I'm also looking at a lot of other bikes like the yamaha bolt, the honda rebel 500, or the kawasaki 650, or a triumph street twin.
@@FroggyCrimes always find the bike that's right for you before you buy. Save yourself thousands in depreciation by doing your due diligence now! Good luck!
Forget what people think about you bro. I’m 6’2” about 200 lbs, and I ride a 1200 sportster, and I don’t give two shits if someone thinks my bike is too small or for chicks. Just ride.
My first bike is going to be a 2015 750 street. I know most people think it's a child's bike, but it's all I can afford. Excited either way!
NOT a child's bike
@@filoIIIchill, its a slow bike. There are faster mopeds out there😂
@@hexagonosaurus5848 Define "slow," Isle of Man champ???
Anybody viewing this as a childs bike can get shafted. This is a full grown bike and needs to be respected.
Hows that gone for you? Im looking to get my first bike and think thats the one i would be getting
I've been riding for 58 years, owned about everything. Presently own a Sportster, Honda CTX, and Street 750. I never dreamed that I would like this bike so much, added a Mustang seat, great improvement.
Just finished my class at my local Harley dealer on the street 500 and loved it so I'm sure your bike is that much better. Such a fun bike to toss around the cones in class. Thought it would handle like crap compared to my Honda CB300f and was blown away. Opened a whole new world of motorcycles to me. Definitely want a cruiser now.
883 or 1200 Sporty? Compare this power to the Sporty you have?
ty
Owned any intruders?
Yeah,I took my harley riding class on a 500
Harley needs to try again with the small bikes and stick it out. They need a full line of bikes including "entry level/small". If you make a good one that's stylish, performs and is affordable, people will buy it. Something in the 6-9k range. Think something a kid right out of college can afford (not much) to compete with Royal Enfield (who are crushing it in that demographic) and entry level offerings from the big four. This bike needed a tach and more appealing styling (i.e retro--think 1960s Sportster) to capture the youth market. I think the main reason people didn't buy them is they were a tad too expensive still and the styling was a bit wonky with the tank up high and flat bars that should have been raked back more. Engine sounds good. It's a shame they gave up on it after two years, but the new CEO wanted to go "Luxury" and make a 900cc liquid cooled bike for 18k out the door (Ahem..Nightster) instead. I'd like to take one for a spin someday; looks like a playful and fun ride which you can't say about many of their other bikes. One thing about HD's like this; if the "Reeeeeal HARLEY Guys" hate it (Vrod, Street) you know there must be something good about it! lol
I bought one of the 2016 Street 500. My first bike and I rode it 13k miles last year.
Great how you start out quoting scripture and give the gospel, bro! A lot of ppl don’t realize real christians aren’t religious fanatics
I agree, but he left the post-it on when he took off lmao
In south australia where i live, for your first year of having a bike licence (learners permit) you cant ride anything over 660cc's. So i bought a street 500.
And when i am off my learners permit my wife will have a nice little harley to ride while i move up to something a little more... harley hah
When I ride my mom's I feel like I'm on an Ex Diavel geared short. I feel like HD could make some $$ marketing it against the cafe racer competition rather than the mini-cruiser their dealers hate to sell.
My first new bike was a 2017 HD Street 750 that I got back in March 2017. I'm 6'2" 195lbs and this bike is a blast to ride! The mid controls help to give great confidence in the curves, this bike handles great.
I added a Two Brothers Racing slip on, V&H naked air intake, V&H fuelpak tuner, Mustang seat, extended mirrors, Daymaker look-alike headlight, HD mini floor boards, HD grips. Red line is over 8000 rpm. This bike hauls ass!
I'm going to get it dyno'd next year. Some one else that has the same year bike and the same performance mods dyno'd at 70hp so hopefully I see that.
This bike is great fun, it's not only similar but is based on the same Revolution engine from the V- Rod. This is the Revolution X.
I have a 16 750 and love tjis bike...its quick...nimble as hell..
Comfortable on long hauls and I have no issues keeping up with the larger baggers.
Bought mine june of 17 and currently have 13k miles on her.
Took the factory muffler off and installed an after market and now..its DEFINATLY sounds like a Harley should.
The dealership I go to calls it the SUPER STREET because its actually the loudest Harley they have come in. Trust me when I say..
This bike is definately worth every penny and would recommend it to anyone.
Yeah but test ride a Night Rod. It will be so much better and you'll scare yourself with the power.
I’m 52, back when I was a new rider at age 11, my dad owned a Honda 750cc bike, he bought me a Yamaha DT 100 enduro.
The 750 was a huge bike, it was a monster on the road.
It wasn’t long before the displacement on bikes got bigger and bigger, my first new street bike was a 1981 Kawasaki LTD, it was a sleeper, it had the same engine and transmission that the GPZ 1000 had but the riding position was that of a cruiser.
After a few upgrades my LDT was scary fast.
Fast forward to 2018 and 1800 CC engines are common.
The difference in performance is way different than back in 1977, but not so far as one might think.
For instance the average 0 to 60 times have only gone down by 2.2 seconds.
For the veteran rider that may seem like a lot but to the average person it’s not that much.
The real advances have been in brakes and materials.
Today’s bikes have way more technology in them.
I have a touchscreen on my 2014 street glide with a navigation system that’s insane.
A touchscreen on a motorcycle....
Anyway...
I hope that Harley does well with its new engine.
Only time will tell.
That sticky pad sheet is driving me nuts. Lol
Me too! 😂
i have one of this, i like, good for city, good for cruiser, i rode it to 75 mph easy, 56 mpg, i explored all South Florida with she, i love this bike, and she is Harley Davidson, every body look at she, is so pretty
Got to work on your English bro
@@Darkest_Soul_187 We all should. If Ibrahim had the brass knuckles to come on the Internet and write his opinion, more power to him.
I'm guessing his English is better than your Spanish.
thank you, I'm working in my English, I need some practice
Buena moto mano! Espero que la disfrutas mucho.
This is Captain America's bike! Gotta love that!
It truly is!
They used two different bikes for Captain America. They also used an 883 disguised as a Street 750.
Nope in the interview they showed a water cooled engine
Yes they also used an iron 883..
TrashPanda 365 couldn't have chose a worse bike for captain America
Well titled reviews~ this is the only place on UA-cam to get honest, accurate reviews & I LOVE the scripture.
I got mine ( second hand) as my first bike ever in November 2018. And I LOVE IT! Not because it had to be a Harley, but because it's just about the only bike I can flat-foot. The rest is everything you said: it feels light, it handles very well, and it is plenty powerful enough to let me keep up with traffic, overtake safely, etc. I'm finding it great for learning and am having a ton of fun with it.
Harley came out with this bike primarily because the EPA is cracking down on their fleet wide fuel economy. And because they want to attract younger riders. Sadly, dealers are making every effort to steer customers away from these new entry level bikes. I know because I went to a Harley dealership specifically to buy a Street 750 and was all but forced into the Sportster 883 instead. I dunno if it was a commission issue or what. But the salesman’s pitch was all about steering me away from the bike I went there to buy. I did buy the 883, mainly because this dealership would not even show me a Street 750, and the next nearest dealership was 2.5 to 3 hours drive away. And I like the 883, but I was actually angry when I left the dealership because of how I was treated. I knew what I wanted, I went there to get it and they just wouldn’t sell it to me. If that’s going on at other dealerships as well, then the Street 750 is doomed.
Same exact thing happened to me
A true superbike with all the power and handling anyone could ever hope to have. I know, because I got three speeding tickets in one week.
You did not consider aging Harley Riders who cannot or no longer feel safe on a heavy hog but still want to ride a Harley!
😆 I just got my endorsement taking the riding academy through my local HD dealer. They had us riding the 500 version. They're pretty decent bikes.
I didn't like It too much. Heavy, hot and too low. I wish my ninja was as warm for the winter though.
@@dallaserickson4146 Take the fairings off of your ninja and you will see this bike actually runs a lot cooler in low speed riding than a ninja. Its a small liquid cooled twin. That being said, the street 750 and street 500 are gay.
Just took the HD course on it too, was just ok.
William Lipscomb thanks
William Lipscomb how much is the endorsement
In Australia we have something called the learner approved motorcycle scheme, which limits riders to a small pool of bikes usually around 250cc for the first year, with a few exceptions. If you’re into cruisers the options are limited to the 250cc Honda shadow, 650cc v-star, the street 500 and a few others. For that reason the bike is a good fit for the Australian market, we can pick them up fairly cheap and sell them again fairly easily when the year is up, and all things considered they’re pretty fun and easy to ride.

I’m just
I did my motorcycle safety course at HD Sacramento CA and we used the Street 500. They were a blast. But then again 3 weeks later I bought a Heritage Classic Special and it is great bike.
Great review but how was the post-it note stuck on there all this time?!
I used a harley 500 street on my msf course and I fell in love with it! I'll be getting the 750 for my next bike.
I hear it performs even better than the iron 883 and is quicker
The 750 is a fun bike and I have 0 compliments after 2 years of owning it
@@brayden9150 zero compliments. heard you
So it's a 500 pound 57 horsepower twin at $7500. How does it compare to the 440 pound 47 horsepower Royal Enfield @ less than $6500? ABS? A Six speed gearbox? Adjustable gas rear shocks? Just wondering because here in CA that bike isn't selling for anywhere near $7500...
The Street Harley Davidson's were/are made for the Asian market. HD decided to sell them in the US as an afterthought. They were designed to be manufactured in Asia and sold in Asia but in the end, they make some in the US for US consumption.
Exactly. This HD is now being offered in the Philippines for less than $7.5k til July 31 of this year.
I got my motorcycle endorsement through a Harley shop using the Street 500 in their academy. I went 7 years without riding and didn’t keep my endorsement. The 500 was decent. I think the 750 would be better for sure.
Good review, I'm in Australia so we can only get the 500cc version. The Street Rod XG750A (750cc) is now available here so I bought it. I find the performance and cornering ability amazing. The shocks and brakes are much better as well. Keep up the great work.
Great commute bike. Hard to commute a Harley touring especially lane splitting. Just like MB, you still need entry level vehicles at mass public prices
I'm a patch member of the HAMC, my next ride might be this one, still not sure though. "Sons of Anarchy" made the Street 750 popular, though it was a 2003 Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport. Very similar with Street 750 in terms of looks. After SOA, I viewed Street 750 as a respectful bike now.
A company in Mexico rents out these bike to tourists sounds like a fun way to explore Mexico.
I have 2015 , aftermarket exhaust , power chip and screaming eagle breather on it . Woke up the bike for sure ..
Here come all the people talking trash about a bike theyve probably never even sat on before. Ive ridden one before and while it's far from perfect, i would take this over a 883 or maybe even a 1200. "bUt iTs bUiLt iN iNdIa". Well then India can make some damn good motorcycles. It may be a terrible "Harley" but it's a great motorcycle
Davis Winn The Street 500/750/Street Rod bike’s sold in North America (US/Canada/Mexico) ARE made in the USA! So sick of people not understanding this!!!!
@@buckfiden6227 yeah i know that its USA built. Im referring to people who think its from India (for international markets)
All XG 500/750 were built at the Kansas City ,MO plant till it closed 11/2018
I am glad to see HD in this market. This size bike is perfect for city commute. Years ago I commuted in in So Cal on a Yamaha 750 Virago. Great for lane splitting. Agile. Great MPG. You're right about getting the younger rider and/or new rider on HD. That is how brand loyalty starts. Got to root for the home team. HD for 2020 is suppose to have a liquid cooled Street Fighter. Where were these bikes when I had hair on top of my head? Just an old guy on a cruiser now.
XG street was my first bike after not riding for 20 years. Very zippy, but I agree nimble as well. This was an excellent bike and got me prepared for the HD Lowrider S 117. I have felt confident on the 117 and I owe that to my 2k miles on the street model.
I have a 750. I just put on the screming eagle muffler and wow it's awesome.
But does it even sound like a harley?
@@bunythebeastgamer6920 I hope not. Harleys sound like shit. This one sounds good and if you get rid of the sawing machine sound with an exhaust that has a bit more bass....I’d say it’s a winner
@@theodoremarakas9899 I meant to say, does it sound like a V-rod. And dude. Harleys sound amazing
@@bunythebeastgamer6920 Yes, indeed. I have heard some Harley bikes that sound awesome. I've also heard others that didn't sound that great. everybody's ear and perception of good is different.
I love the words of wisdom and you don't care if people feel the same way about religion ita your belief and your way of life . Keep it up keep god close
Michael Hoffman yeah, except god isn't real 🙄
@@officialWWM what makes you so convinced?
Music Islife
Look at music theory.
Do you think by chance that everyone hears minor and major chords the same by chance?
Look at the whole system of music and it’s really hard to say that it was not designed by the Creator.
You have to admit that it’s a pretty complex system that in no way could have ever just “appeared.”
I can see this bike would be good in a city and for a newer, younger rider. It's a bold step for Harley Davidson. I remember them trying to sell smaller and less expensive bikes in the past. I believe they offered a 350cc and a 750cc motorcycle at one time. I think they even rebadged Puch motorcycles (scooters). No matter, they aren't the bikes that people think of with Harley-Davidson. Coming out with a bike with this size and displacement seems like a very risky venture. The domestic market segment for bikes is diminishing, and there's just a huge difference in reputation for import bikes in this category. The Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha really know this niche and have experience in it with an extensive reputation for building quality. It's going to be a tough slog for Harley. I have doubts these bikes will hold value on the used market.
HD 750 is a good bike, when i ride her every people like, the problem is the price, many people can't paid, i listened many opinion, but i think this persons never ride one of this, i explored all South Florida, the cruiser speed is about 75 mph to quite, maybe 80 mph, very economic, 56 mpg, in the city is perfect, is light and easy to ride, and the most import, is a Harley
Another great review! I appreciate your honest, unbiased reviews. Therefore I value your opinion. As I age and have spine problems but refuse to quit riding I have been going to smaller lighter bikes. This may be my next bike. I can't handle the weight of my old full dresser anymore. I have liked the looks of this bike and the performance seems to be as much as I currently need. Most of all it is so light I can manage it. I had Sportsters back in the 70's so I feel like trying something new and different but still in the Harley Davidson line. Any thoughts or suggestions you have I would appreciate. Keep on keeping on with the great reviews!
Street 750 is 60 lbs lighter than 883 and has 20 more horsepower
However with 57hp and 99 mph top end its kinda hard to label this bike fast...
As 6’2” 280lbs man it was not comfortable. I felt cramped on it. Would be an awesome bike for a smaller person.
Put a 13 inch progressive shock and it handles and rides great. FP3 and exhaust air filter and has plenty of get up.
$7500 is $2000 more than a 1984 Low Rider cost new in 1984. Not a bad price for today. If I was younger and looking for a first new bike, I'd seriously consider this. Have fun all day on a few gallons of fuel.
Rode the Street 500 at the riding course. Kept getting cramps, too small for me. 6' 250 lbs.
Same here man
Everyone that took if with me also had sore thighs. No issues with my ninja. Ninja is more maneuverable too.
Me too at 6’3’ and 210. Sore legs after the first day on the range.
same here and im 5,7 and 185 lbs.
Torture to ride, clutch and trans sucked,ugly,felt like it was falling apart.. I would rather ride a grom.
Chuck Wood same here. The bike I was saddled with wouldn’t go into neutral! Sucked!
For the price you can get a bigger Suzuki that won't rattle apart.
The tacometer you got to hit the little dial button by the gauge to change out from clock/rpm and gear, this was really a fun bike during the course.
Started the class today lol I watched your video on how to ride and the tip about letting the clutch out in 20 to 30 feet really helped
At 57 hp its got more power than thr 883. Being fuel injected im betting with a simplr tune to defeat emissions it have a fair amount more power.
This nailed the 20 somethin market keep it up
Anyone riding mid range metric standard street bikes should like this bike. 6sp, belt drive, good motor for around $6000 for the 500 and $7500 for the bored out 750. Well assembled (in Kansas City) and a clean simple BSA style look.
I've ridden Hondas for over four decades, and this may replace my current Honda when I wear that one out.
If you don't like the super quiet sewing machine sound, stick a on a slipon and it sounds much throater.
pretty sure HD shut down and closed the KC plant...among others... and moved production to China and/or India
@@bultacowally. Yep they did. Does HD still sell the 500/750 in the US and Can? They sold bunches of the to state agencies, but I see few in private hands parked around my area. I wonder if it was a bust of a line.
I have considered the older ones used (US built) if the price was right. $6000 bikes now three years old ought to be under $4000. A slip-on and a aftermarket higher seat would fix the only defeciencies for me.
My wife rode behind me for many years and was perfectly content until she swung her leg over the street 500 and the first words out of her mouth after grinning from ear to ear were "this bike fits me I want one".
Within three weeks she'd taken the Harley-Davidson motorcycle safety Foundation course and bought her own Street 500. Been nothing but Miles of Smiles since.
Harley-Davidson had a niche market product line and failed miserably at capitalizing on it. -SMH
I know an indian scout sixty, kawasaki vulcano, Honda shadow are better options, but I don't know why I want this to be my first bike. Hopefully I don't regret it
Love how you threw a scripture in there
New in our local dealer in Ga, $9500. They can sell them all day long...Same dealer, 1200 Sportster $9800... Unbelievable but true.
I used this bike when I got my training done and loved it! And I've been riding electra glides for 6 years... I wouldn't take it across country but I'd love to have one just to whip around town or to tear up out in a field on my way to go fishing or something
plus other countries restrict the cc engine size. who will by metric cruisers and stay with Japanese bikes, so now Harleys street can be an entry-level bike choice in there LAMS scheme
i have an 17 street 750,and i love it..got a bit over 6k miles
there is a tach,its in the digital part of the speedo
I think they made it because the Honda 750s are so popular. Good looking bike it just looks tiny. Probably a good starter by bike.
I was a little stressed that you were riding with the note on the mirror lol.
Wow! Interesting background story. That's like Atom in Real Steel. I ride with big ones and sport bikes all the time and I keep up with them just fine. I get enough respect the group lets me pray for them before the ride starts. Keep up the good work brother!
I owned a 2015 Street 750. Put 14K on it. Unreliable JUNK. Spent at least 2 months in the shop during the first 2 years. Wont buy another. Traded for a 18 1200 Custom. The 750 was Stage 1 upgraded with aftermarket parts. Dyno'd at 70 HO and 58 Pounds Trq. Kept right up with a BMW to 60. 1st Red Lines at 10 MPH. High gear ratios.
How tall are you? I'm considering this for first bike, but I am 6' 2". Not sure if I'm too tall or I'll be ok.
I passed my MSF class on its littler brother the Street 500
Cool. I had to ride a shitty dr200.
Me, too. I was told that the 500 was detuned as well for safety's sake.
It may have the HD name but its far from a HD It has a $7500 price tag because they wouldn't be able to sell it for any more. Don't get me wrong it is a good bike,but its far from being a HD. I own 2016 xg750 Street.
Part of the reason why more people aren't taking up motorcycling is that we've fallen into the trap of thinking that 750's are small and underpowered. There is nothing wrong with this bike and Harley should be cranking out 750's and 500's or getting used to eventually failing.
Words of wisdom never blocks your review..... It enhances it!
Well, in this case it is literally blocking his rear view.
@@eikonise - Yeah, I've noticed the sticky notes on his tank before, but this is the first time on his rear view mirror. I guess that improves my prayer life? I'd hate to have anyone wreck on GoPro ...
I think the smaller more affordable fun bikes like this are going to be the big thing. Now that "normal" bikes are well over 10k out the door... some smaller, fun, affordable standard bikes are the thing. Think i would pick the Guzzi V7 over the HD... but still a cool bike.
This bike sounds really good with pipes believe it or not
This bike reminds me of the Buell Blast 500cc thumpers that Harley sold back in the early 2000’s as a entry level bike.
Took my PA rider’s course on a Harley Street 500 this year.
I have the 2018 street rod 750 it has 18% more power then the regular 750 I love it my front breaks are over kill lol
Good commentary,GREAT SCRIPTURE!
Anyone that still states that the Streets made for the North American market are made in India is trolling. It has to be the only explanation.
The Street 500 was my first bike. It was terribly underpowered for a 500cc engine. My mates used to fly past me on their 225cc Yamaha Scorpios. Something about the ergonomics were just off too. I got pain in my thighs after an hour or so.
I had the street 750 as my first bike it was great as a starter bike. I had it for just short of a year than I upgraded. It definitely isn’t anything I would put money into to get an exhaust or anything else you’re going to get bored of it and realize how slow it is after you’ve learned how to ride on it
+nick benedict what was your next bike
Street 750 or the Guzzi v7?
The reality with Harley is it is a strong brand with a mentality that does not appeal whatsoever to those that have not drank the Kool-Aid. It's glory days was built and achieved on baby boomers which are in decline, and was never prepared for any other demographic. They are in big trouble as they are barely pushing new unit sales.
I agree with you partially. Of course in India the street 750 is the #1 selling motorcycle in the country.
Incorrect. It may be the most popular Harley model in India, but the #1 selling bike in India is Royal Enfield by far because of its low selling price.
You're both wrong. The Hero Splendor is the best selling bike in India. A good 90% of bikes in India are under 250cc.
I don't have hard statistics but I can tell you when I visited India, there were a ton of Heros and Enfields. You can fit up to a family of 5 people on a bike in India. You gotta see it to believe it.
I'm in Mexico City where they fit up to 5 adults and children on a bike.
I just wish they were faster honestly. It's their idea of a sport bike, but compared to bikes of its same size it's pretty slow.
The Harley Street is not considered a sport bike,it is a street bike. Now the Street Rod 750 does look more like a sport bike,but only in looks and a little more HP.
Put an exhaust and the k&n air filter on - it’s not slow then...howls like a banshee
This is gonna be my first bike can’t wait 😝
Did ya get it ?
The biggest problem with Harley Davidson is pricepoint!! It is crazy that someone would ask $44,000 for a motorcycle!! I believe it is the CVO ultraglide if I am not mistaken but man!! Two wheels, handlebars, wheels, tires, seats, engine, speedo with all the gadgets, all the engine electronics, Bluetooth music and headset communications with rider and passenger,headlamps, tail lights, windshields, brakes!! O.K. But think about what you can get in a car for the same amount of money! You could buy a Cameron with nearly the biggest engine!
Perhaps a ford 150 truck! I just don't get the price!! If you are wealthy no problem, otherwise I will buy Japanese!! Japanese bikes are better quality and last much longer and little to no maintainance!!
Just now found out about these bikes. First Harley I've seen that is actually in my price range.
That's funny I have a 1200 sportster got it for 3,500....
@@edmorganjr.3604 what year?
2005 with 5,000 miles. Shop around you can find awesome deals.
Some people don't know what they have.
My friend has a 2010 wide glide he got for $5500. It needed a new tank. Guy dropped it in his garage and smashed the tank in. I think $200 for a tank. So can't beat that.
Hi Srkcycles, im 6.3 and I live in Germany, I think about buying this Harley because I'm 17 y o and I don't have that much money, but i have a few questions. As far as I know you are a big guy, too so is it
comfortable to ride on that Harley, also long distances? And does it have enough bankingfreedom to also ride a littlebit more sporty?
Thx for your answer :)
I rode the 750 Street and 750 Street Rod in 2017. I didnt like the Street Rod ,it fellt like sitting on a Japanese crotch rocket ,you sit like a gorilla on the bike.
Okey its not as bad as a Japanese crotch rocket but almost.
Harley built these starter bikes to get younger drivers to Harley.
the sound of these bikes are like all LEGAL BIKES. Almost No sound at all.
Excuse my bad English , greetings from Finland
I have one and its great street 500 for a first bike took off the silencer and sounds like a harley
Why would anyone want a Harley that doesn't sound like a Harley?
90% of people mod the exhaust. Almost nobody leaves a stock pipe on their bike. Ive seen a speed merchant slip-on for the 750 and it sounds great
Show me a stock harley that sounds like a harley
Its not harley. Its bajaj
I bought my 06 Dyna Low Rider because it sounds like a Harley. With the old V-Twin 88 it shakes, rattles, and rolls with the stage 1 Screaming Eagle pipes. It sounds like a Harley should!!
Parts are fabricated in India and container shipped here. Used to be assembled in Kansas City. Don't know where they're assembled now.
I took my msf class on a street 500 the past 3 days. I really liked it. Even though I never reached above 25 it feels nimble. I'd buy one for sure.
I did the class by harley a couple weeks ago. Inherited a fatboy. Eventhough it's only a couple hundred pounds heavier, it feels much heavier than the 500. Still a bit scared to try the low speed maneuvers we did in class with the fatboy. Wish I could've practiced more on the 500 b4 going to the fatboy. It's incredible how light the 500 feels
For sure. I have a CBR300R at home and it's a lot more nimble. But the seating positions not too comfortable compared to the 500. Eventually I'm getting a harley.
Interesting that HD goes after the Shadow market, wasn't the Shadow a shadow of a Harley in the first place?
+upside downdog I wouldn’t put this in the shadow category. This is much more sportier
@@Srkcycles
Watch, now Honda will "shadow" HD with a sportier Shadow!
You notice that Harley looks like the 77 Cafe Racer that Harley made......My Dad's fav. bike.
Young people are not interested in the traditional 1914 undersquared engine. The potato no longer matters. This 750 is the best thing I have seen from Harley Davidson since the v-rod.
I test rode the 750 I might get one in the future it was super smooth overall I liked it, I have a gsxr 750 right now but might get the Harley so I can go cruising without the back pain
I used to have a 2004 Gixxer 750, was definitely hard on my back and wrists. Im looking at the street 750 or Yamaha bolt 950. Still considering. Some ppl I know who own a street 750, have told that it's pretty under powered. That's the only worry I have
So I’m tied between the Harley Street 750 and a street triple rx 675
Which would people say is the better option of the two for riding with a pillion
The bike does need to be restricted to 47bho
I own a 2019 Street 750 as my first bike upgraded it to V&H stage 1 (VO2 air filter, High Outpit Slip on and Fuel Pack 3) the bike sounds awesome extremely loud and runs great, 24,000 Kilometers on it and not a single flaw or malfunction, it is a comfortable fast bike for commuting and certainly I can cruise among big harleys and never left behind I love the kind of retro look of the bike so I am very pleased with it, yes for the price o was expecting a little more classy or quiality material but it is not bad at all
Firstly, does it sound like a Harley? I can't tell from the cam mic.
I don't like the short wheel base. For a tall person, well over 6ft, it may seem too small.
Here in Australia, there are so many of these bikes being sold as used. I wonder why?
Finally, what you did at the roundabout and that van was coming from your right, I do the same thing by going 'are you going to stop??? How many times have I seen videos where cars just don't stop when they should at intersections...And I thought I was the only one.
Great video thanks!
I'm currently saving up for this bike, Thanks for the in depth review, Much appreciated, Respect from Manchester, UK. :)
I don't want to sound stereotypical, but does the Street 750 have any oil leaking problems like an older, air-cooled Harley-Davidson?
