It's a great bike. I own one, and yes the riding position is not for everyone. Just to clarify things for a few people that have been posting....the Street Rod is made in the USA if you purchase in North America, if you live anywhere else, it is made in India. The engine is very different than the Street 750. It has more than just high lift cams, it also has 12:1 heads over 11:1 for the street, different combustion chambers, dual 42mm throttle body vs a single 38mm from the street and a 9000rpm redline vs 8000rpm for the standard street 750. It is VERY conservatively rated at 69hp vs 53 for the standard street 750. A few friends of mine that work at Harley say the street rod is in actual fact more like 75hp, but they keep the numbers on paper down so they don't get too close to their 107ci machines. Add a slip on exhaust, Screamin Eagle Stage one parts plus a ECM tune, and you scratching at 95hp easily and sucking the headlight out of a Breakout 114!!!Have fun and ride safe!
You are just making up numbers! A Street Rod on the dyno makes 64HP to the wheels (ua-cam.com/video/LGpptLbTumU/v-deo.html), which is right in line with the factory rating. Motorcycle dot com did a back to back test where they put the Screamin Eagle exhaust, air filter, and stage 1 tune on a Street 750 - it picked up 0.5 HP! Unless you like the looks, I wouldn't waste money on the HD accessory catalog. You'd be lucky to get 75HP at the crank after mods. Claiming 95HP is delusional.
hi, thanks for the information, if I buy in Mexico, where is manufactured? In USA ?
Excellent review! Far better than any of the other reviews of this bike. Most of the other reviewers putt-putt around and whine about the hot exhaust, the turn signals, the foot pegs, the sound, that it's not a "real" Harley, blah, blah, etc. You just got aboard and RODE the bike! You showed what the bike is capable of, what it's meant to do and you had a blast doing it. Thank you for taking us along for a thrilling ride.
This review made me want to test ride one, I did and loved it. So I got one. Thanks Motonewbrider
philoz286 enjoy it buddy
me too pick mine up next friday july 2021
Dear Mr. Motonewb,
I've been looking for a bike for about 2 months now. What a journey! At this point, I've had my fill of dealers that either ignore me, 'cause I'm a girl, or don't listen to what type of riding I want the bike for & try to sell me what they think I should buy; instead of what fits my height, build, riding style & which bike 'speaks' to me. The 'metric' dealers here in America, seem to be stricly volume franchises, without consideration for building a relationship with the customer...[They'll sell you whatever they can finance for you].
The Harley dealers seem to be more welcoming of female riders in terms of hospitality, as I walk through the doors. But when it comes down to helping me find a good match, they mostly want me to buy the bike they think I should, rather than the one that looks, rides & fits the best for me. It certainly can be bloody frustrating at times. However, I mostly shop after 'putting my big girl panties on', so they haven't sold me something I'd regret.
I went on a test ride of the Yamaha XSR900 today with a wonderful guy at a 'metric' dealership, where the owner has a Harley store also. Im very optimistic that this 'best of both worlds' will be the combination of motorcycles that I ultimately can find the bike for me in. After I had a wonderful ride on the XSR900 & I told him that I was also smitten with the HD Roadster. He offered to collaborate with his counterpart @ their Harley store to allow me to try the Yamaha against whichever Harley I want...and after a few words of advice from him about air-cooled engines in stop&go traffic, I'm going to ask for a XSR900 vs StreetRod shootout!
Thanks for reviewing the StreetRod so everyone can see how much it has to offer!
Hi, just wondering which bike you ended up buying. I've had the street rod for a year now and love it more and more each time I ride it. I agree with you about the dealers not being concerned if a bike 'fits' you. They're just as bad here in Australia.
What an awesome review one of the best reviewers I’ve seen on you tube. I have a street rod and feel the same as you it makes me smile and laugh and it’s wonderful to look at
By far one of the best street rod review video. So nimble. 👍
Thanks, brother. I just picked one up for my first bike. I feel like it's got more than I'll need and keep me on the same bike for a good long time.
Brilliant! I am a native of Colorado, USA. I purchased my 750 Street Rod to navigate the ultra-high altitude passes and ghost-towns. The intercooler prevents overheating in grid-lock traffic and the exhaust system does not disrupt the wandering nature or cause a spark to cause a wildfire in a National Park. When I go off road, the turning circumference is tight on switch backs and if I have to literally pick up the back of the bike to pivot, it's only 500+-lbs. I have four (4) sets of wheel/tire configurations for this bike, depending on what I want to do.
I just purchased one and so far I love it! I seems to be well made and runs like a sport bike, but beefier. Great Bike 👍! Great video!
Awesome review.. honestly one of the best styles of reviewing bikes over ever seen.. good job mate
It sounds like this was probably the Street that H-D should've started with. The Street Rod, the Roadster, and the S models makes it appear that Harley is taking performance more seriously now. I can't wait to see what's new for the 2018 models.
As always, thank you for the uploads and keep those vlogs and reviews coming. RSMF
Great review. I love mine. I bought it just before the pandemic started and I have enjoyed it. It fits me perfectly. 5'9" with 30" inseam.
Got one a month ago as my first bike above 500cc. Put a smile on my face whenever I am riding it. Only complain is the foot brake lever is oddly shaped. I need to adjust my right foot position everytime to ensure I am on the peg. Other than that... I am happy with this bike. Ordered V&H slip on exhaust and Fuel pak 3 from Amazon. Yet to receive the items yet. Can't wait for the upgrades.
Still got the bike ?
Great review! I always wanted to learn more about the Street 750. Great starter bike. Briefly looked at them when I was in the market, but fell in love with the Fat Bob. Take care my friend!
faith biker thanks for enjoying the review buddy
I am glad Harley made this bike. I’m a millennial, and this is the only bike I would buy from Harley. Turns out I did but one, and it sure is great. Definitely a little tight for taller riders though.
Yea I bought one in the green gold colour. I’ve put a Vance and Hines comp slip on and now it sounds like a real bike. The foot position still annoys me and my hips ache as my knees are too high. Other than that can’t fault the bike. For the weight it could do with another 20bhp and it takes some warming up especially in the winter. I commute every day to a city centre. It keeps up with my custom loving friends and has enough torque and speed to run at the front. I am going to look at converting it to a street tracker look next year. Will let you know how that goes!
Hi Darren, I'm thinking of getting one of these. How tall are you? I'm concerned about the riding position, but when I sat on it it didnt feel too bad..i'm 6ft2
I’m shorter than you at 5’8” if you are over 6’ I would seriously consider going on a long ride on one. Not sure it’s that comfortable for the longer of leg.
Great review round all the roads I know what a machine 👍🏻
You always sound so enthusiastic! I’ll try this StreetRod as I’ve never seen one except in the HD showroom!
My worry would be the mid-set foot-pegs as I’ve long legs and like forward controls. But it’s a very well specified bike & looks great.
I reckon that these water-cooled lighter faster and agile Street models will eventually take over from the Sportster range. Already HD have developed the flat-tracker model based on the Street & not on a Sportster!
Thanks for putting out such a good review.
Good enthusiastic video, most are not so kind. It probably helps, that you own a sportsters, so this would I think feel like an inproved bike, but still a Harley. I have a trident 660but want a 2nd bike and it must be different! These bikes in the UK are a bargain right now, this video has encouraged me to pop down for a test ride, the olive green looks good. 👍Thanks.
Have one and love it, that's it.
Love it! Can you still call yourself Motonewb, as you've been doing this for a while now? I think a change of name is needed...Moto-V-Rider?
Rick Deckard I'm always a 'newb' mate 👍
Nice all blacked out Harley. Congratulations. I subscribed.
Glocked 17 welcome fella - feel free to give feedback as a subscriber 👍
I'm having fun riding the same bike 🎉
Enjoy and be safe 😊
Hey, I loved your review. I have one now and it's a great performer, just like you said. Keep up the great work.
Test riding one on Thursday as a possible second bike. Excited.
Great review. Bike looks interesting. I am particularly interested in the new front end.
Jason Cole love the front end on it
usual down to earth solid review, pretty good attempt by Harley for a more affordable option. Agree with exhaust upgrade though in truth all bikes these days are stifled with noise/emission regs.
Nicer than expected, looking for mid range , never considered harley !!!! Till now
Another great video - which mic are you using? Very clear!
Riding Digital it's the Sony EMC I believe it's £28 on eBay
Haven’t tried it
But boy I really want to
I own a 2010 fatbob i love it! but i am currently working on getting a street rod took a test ride and liked it its completely different from the bob but is extremely easy to use and super fun if you are someone who doesn't like being in a sports bike like position then the street rod is NOT for you!
A tail tidy, a decent exhaust and may be an inch or two of lift on the front of the tank and this would be a really nice looking little bike. It's not for me, but if I was looking for my first bigger bike or first Harley I would definitely take a look this. RSM8.
Ben 1022 thanks for the balanced comment 👍
I love everything about the bike, if I was 5'11 or shorter. The bike really needs a higher seat option where you can sit a bit back as well. For this style bike 30.0 inches is somewhat low. The mid-controls with an 8 inch ground clearance really squash anyone 6 foot or over. Also the shift pedal is tight for someone with 10+ size feet. I may get this bike if I can get a custom flat seat that's higher put on it.
Harley do it like nowone else can . Quality
Best and fair review of this bike
Really tempted🤔
I enjoyed your review. Im currently trying to decide between the Street Rod or the 883. What do you think of the 883?
Did you like the Street or Street Rod better ? Great reviews as always ! Cheers.
Dave Geisler street rod fella 🤟👍
The bars are a bit wide for a (street filtering bike) the non spring loaded foot pegs can be a pain sometimes if they get knocked by mistake and the positioning of the exhaust means your right foot has to rest on it
Great review. Nice energy through the whole video.
And yes. I bought a Street Rod. 😂
Bars and exhaust are pelt, but easily changed. .
Lovely looking bike with the wheels and sport profile tyres. .
Im sick of race reps. . And dont really want a cross country bike,
I might just try one of these easily customized modern-harleys
Love the channel, not sure about the way this looks. Im sure it's fun though.
Gary Arnold fun bike to ride for a blip
HD blew it by not offering different seating and handlebar options. I had a SLICK '00 1200C, but the drag bars were NOWHERE NEAR as comfy as my '93 1200XLH w/ buckhorns.
great review... best yet of the street rod
I own a Street rod ,it comfortable for me but it is not passenger friendly,or goin camping .saying that I love it.😁
nice review .im now considering getting one,as a second bike.
About to come into a little bundle of cash. May have to go a H-D dealer now.
Thanks for your review, I had a question about the brake system, mostly I found non-Abs version, so just wanted t know-how will be the difference on this bike these two versions
thanks
I have one and love it but have had a few issues with the alarm and condensation in the blinkers
14:42 “I get this feeling they’re going to be really successful” they aged well 😂😅
good review. hows the power? what bike would you compare the bike to for performance? you compared it more of a "sportier bike"
Tony C it has a sportier feel interms of power comparison to a sports bike this would fail. However it's super fun to ride
Simular power to a ninja 500
I hit up a Harley Demo Ride here in Connecticut a few weekends ago. I took the Street Rod 750 for a spin and honeslty hated it. The right side brake foot controls are a nightmare. I had ridden the Street 750 last year at the same event and it was a much better ride without Harley's modifications to make it whatever the Street Rod 750 is supposed to be. I also took out the new Sportster Roadster and if your looking for something that is lighter, nimble and fun I recommend the Roadster over the Street Rod 750.
It has a ton of “braap braap” if you install the Vance and Hines high output muffler. I have an 18 SR black and everything this identical one
Nice Bike i personally found the right foot peg position awkward plus the foot pegs are not spring loaded
Just bought one - second bike alongside my Blackbird. Very very different bikes but it's something alternative to the UJM and I personally like the looks. Enough power and handling to have fun in the twisties.
I'm looking to buy my first-ever bike and I'm not sure if this 750 is what I should buy or the FLSS soft tail slim.please input would be appreciated. Will have either bike in a week.
Great review 👍🏻
Crazyhorse69hd Lowrider' S 117ci thanks for enjoying the review
Picking my green one up at noon tomorrow from here in Oxford.uk
I love it, just brought one..
The bike looks great!
Nice editing bro
awesome bike street rod I love it
Do you have a video of how to top up or how offer you put liquid cooled
Lovely video thank you for your time. If I may ask please allow yourself to finish the sentence before cross fading the sound as it’s an odd mix of your last and next point
Like to see the brakes and suspension improvements for my 17 street 750 available at the dealership
I hear the fuel economy is dreadful. Can anyone confirm how bad or good it is?
They should update the controls to match those on the other Harleys
lovely bike so why did harley bin it
Is it all American made or in part like street ? , good video bud
Glasgow Harley rider depends on where you are, according to your name it will be made in India. Only in the US you will get one that is made in the US.
Great review nice one
Thanks for the vid🤘
2:36 I disagree. If you ride a Harley, it's all about old school torque. The neighbours? One doesn't buy bikes to please the neighbours.....Bap Bap.
would be nice to buy one of these just to run rings around all the air cooled harleys
Nice gloves! Where can i get these gloves?
I Still need to do my big boys licence yes only got CBT but I do ride out on my little pcx popped in to bike shop told the fella that I still need big boys licence he pointed at the HD STREET IT'S NOT my thing then ad a good look nice then sat on it and blod
Ment to of said I loved it it's got a bit old school look just need licence now but thanks for your review I shall subscribe.
You just made me buy one and I bought 😂
iWorld Consulting how’s the ride?
Do u think it’s better than my 2001 sportster 883
Looking at the specs it's sort of an sv650 with slightly less power and 50 pounds heavier and down a gear. Looks better though.
I think its a reasonly bike with a Harley Batch. Maybe its a Nice bike for youngsters that dont care much for the Harley feeling.
But in that case you can buy better for les money.
Will a 5'7 be comfortable on this bike
What's your inseam?
What is the name of the song from begining of video?
Я на нем из Воронежа в Севастополь летом ездил. Неповторимые ощущения)
I'm five foot six would I have a hard time being flat-footed on this bike?
Hey, I'm the same height and I can flat foot it with both feet.
a few thousands difference I go for sportster 1200 any time any day
Doesn’t sound as bad as the music you played at the beginning of the video, but it’s a toss up!
PCP?
Hi there ,
how does it suit for tall people I'm 6'2" will it be little cumbersome?
Srinath P.L I’m 6:2 own one and love it
I have one until I can get the V Rod Muscle that I want.
@1:45... My name is Buell... Erik Buell !
I'm sold haha
Go ahead and, just slip that muffler off. And throw it away. An it will sound awesome. Try it..
If harley wants to make a sport and super sport I think they should really take the time 2 do so.
It's a 'street bike' yet runs hot, has poor ergo's and bar-end mirrors?
So it's uncomfortable, hot and to wide to split lane's. Are they smoking crack at HD R&D?
Bought one!
How is it? 2ould u recommend as first bike?
Why review just Harley's!! Why don't you test review other Brand’s also?
Faraz Mustafa Khan purely because I have a good relationship with the dealers at HD.
The Harley goes skrrrr kakakapa
It seems like they wanted to make a dirt track bike and call it a sport bike.
Great review, a refreshing change from some of the wanna-be Scoseses on here!
:)
Not sure about the 750
cause the bike is higher then the street ? 6:12
what??
The street 750 the bike this is based off
