Harley Davidson Street 750 - Fast road test / Review

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- A rather long video of the all new Harley Street 750. Apologies for the length of this vid but I didn't really want to break it up into 2 parts.
I decided to put some urban riding footage in as this is probably where this bike will spend most of its time. But later in the vid I take it to the countryside for the obligatory thrashing!
Great video. Have had my 750 a few months now with V&H Comp pipe with all the baffles removes. Sounds awesome and pops and bangs on a closed throttle. Have had all sorts before, from Vespas to ZXRs and most types in between. This is my first Harley and I love it. Was between this and a 1200 Iron. The 750 just rides so much better. It's very stable, accelerates quick enough for me and stop swell enough if you use the rear brake too. I
It could do with a rev counter as it hits the limiter early. The keyless start and auto alarm from the 1200 would be nice too, but this is much cheaper.
One very happy Harley owner here!
Finally a propper review of the Street, much more enjoyable and informative then those "let's cruise around" ones, that i found. Subbed. Cheers.
+Stanley Warmuse Thank you ;) Glad you enjoyed it.

From my searches on UA-cam, you are the only reviewer that I have found that rides the Street 750 flat out, WOT, to redline, through curvy roads, and actually reviews it as a motorcycle.
Most of the American reviewers ride it so slowly it looked barely faster than a CB250.
Edit.
Oh and I forgot to say great review I really enjoyed it. The speed through those country lanes was intense. 😎👍
Bennie , great review of the Street 750 by a very skilled rider , you rode this to near full potential. Really enjoyed your review ! Cheers.
This American believes your review is probably the fairest unbiased for/against that I have seen. As a future first time buyer I was able to see I wouldn't be disappointed with it being too slow.
This video is all I need to see . The Street 750 looks like it can do everything that would please me. Its fast enough and looks easy to ride. The salesman at the HD shop told me if I take the Harley Learn to ride course, I would get $500 off on a new Harley Motorcycle and a discount on insurance. Plus, I dont have to take the driving test after the written test.
These are the type of reviews I like to see, no nonsense lets see what this bike can do review, it is a motorcycle after all so it needs to be ridden like one. Can you please do a ride review on the street rod 750.
Picked mine up about a month ago and can't get enough. Put quite a few miles on it already.
The problem with the other reviewers is that they ride this bike like a standard cruiser. But, this bike is design like a street semi sport bike. It’s design to run it hard to maximize its potential. It’s a fun bike regardless what they say.
I'm thinking of buying one of these. I'm 32 years old, passed my DAS 18 months ago and looking for a bike to commute, ride to mates houses, and the odd longer haul (sub 2hrs). I love cruisers, but I don't think they are very suitable for our roads in England, this thing seems to have a good Harley style to it but also the agility for city riding and commuter traffic riding. I test rode one at the weekend and was VERY impressed. It was so smooth, I loved the smooth gearbox and even took it up to 110mph without any struggle (on a private road of course). I test rode an 883 as well but wasn't impressed with it at all in comparison. This was a good review, thanks a lot... but you should really put the Vance & Hines Street Cannon pipes on it ;)
I don't reckon you'd go far wrong with one of these as your first bike bike. Like you say, It suits UK roads and it's easy to live with. You can cruise on it, commute and tear up b roads! The bike in this vid did have the v&h pipes fitted. It sounds pretty good irl, but doesn't really come through that well in the vid though. The stock pipe sounds shit. You have to budget for a loud exhaust if you own a Harley!
+Bennie Hitchcock Cheers Bennie :) I've since found a very good condition pre-owned Kawasaki VN900 Custom and think I'm going to be buying that one. I think it fits my cruiser styling a bit better and I prefer the feet-forward sitting position.
Bennie Hitchcock So you liked it I take it? It was fun to ride? Looking at Indian Scout 60 also?
Look at a Triumph Street Twin, it's a much better motorcycle.
The streets sold in America and Canada are built in Kansas city, Missouri.Which recently announced will be closing its doors. You can speculate on the reasoning of the closure being America's trade war and likely be correct.
Good vid. I'm on the verge of doing my test and didn't really know or appreciate that a HD could be bought for £6k. So cheers!
Thanks for this mate, very thorough and made my decision a bit easier. My main concern is how easy it is to scrape the footpegs/exhaust heatshield etc. What are your thoughts on it? I'm mainly city commute and motorway for long distance, but around the lanes it's nice to chuck it about wthout worrying about it!
Cheers for the review.
+Andy Reynolds Thank you. I'm glad you found it informative. That's all I hope for with these vids tbh.
I was worried it might be a bit long, but I felt the bike deserved a slightly more thorough review (thorough for me anyway!) compared to some of my other vids, as this was a bike that people might actually buy.
As far as scraping the pegs go, it's not really an issue. It has way better ground clearance that the majority of cruisers. Truth be told, I'm not really riding this bike how it should or would be ridden by most owners. I'm leaning this bike too hard into the corners, but it does respond surprisingly well to that style of riding!
Besides, it's kinda fun to scrape the pegs and it doesn't really cause any damage. You can replace the pegs easy enough.
This was the Vance & Hines exhaust, so I can't tell you if the standard exhaust heat shield scrapes or not. But tbh, the only time the v&h exhaust scraped, was when there was a pretty extreme camber in the road.
Certainly in urban riding, i can't really remember scraping anything.
The stock michelin tyres are probably a larger limiting factor when it comes to cornering. Very flat shape to them. Would be intersting to see if Avon have an alternative. Not a heavy bike, so you don't really need the usual heavy duty cruiser tyres.
The Harley 750 is approx 5600 pounds in America. I don't think Harleys are as cheap for Americans as you believe. Yes they are an American company but they keep prices just above the competitive bikes from other countries. Some instances Harley gouges Americans because some people are hardcore Harley fans. Check out the US Harley site. In US dollars, the 750 is $7500.00, on the Kawasaki site, the Vulcan S is $7,099.00. I picked up the 2016 and has a much better front break, The new 2017 has abs.and a Tachometer. Great video. Thanks.
You are riding in a very beautiful country
Great video!. I live in USA. I am 50 yrs. old with only about 6000 miles of riding experience. I have not ridden a motorcycle in 8 years due to a car running through a red light and hitting me. Do you think that this is a good bike for someone like me who wants to ride again?
You are 50 yrs old already you are old man you should have earned more than enough money to buy beyond an entry level bike... just get a street glide a road king or a fatboy! You might belong to those people who live in the 50's who say its not a harley because it does not sound like a harley.. jesus
rodolfo sabater those bikes you mentioned are a lot more expensive. Also he hasn’t rode in awhile. If you are just commuting around town this bike is fine.
slingshot I know this is an old post but I think this bike would serve you well. People just need to remember this is an urban commuter.
its does look a lot better if you remove the headlight cowl.
Yes that's true. The new street rod looks better too
What's your opinion on the 4 announced bikes for 2019-2022. Pan American Adventure bike, Live wire, Street fighter, and The 1250 custom? Hell, in the announce video it even shows lil electric bicycles. Hopefully the world does not give up on Harley and America will elect a president with a beard next.
The Harley badge isn't big enough to hide all the cut corners. There are many better motorcycles for the same price or less. The Triumph Street Twin is so much more motorcycle. The Harley could cost 1/4 less and still be overpriced.
at the time you bought it, it was roughly the same price u$d
Tearing around Bristol nice one!
4:40 allo, allo, allo!
Vance and Hines pipes on that? Sounds horrible.
+DucatiHD Ca Sounds a little better in the flesh, but yeah, it doesn't sound like a Harley. But then most Japanese cruisers sound shit too
The biggest problem with the V-Rod was that they called it the V-Rod. The traditional Harley fan would never want something called a V-Rod between their legs, and the traditional "non-Harley" fan just thinks, "Oh, there go the idiots over at Harley, trying waaay too hard."
Ppl talk shit on these bikes but you can do alot with them and the motor is strong for a 750
Would you ever consider test riding a Harley dyna low rider? I respect your opinion and would like to know what you thought about it.
+Anthony Valentin Rode one recently. Didn't get it on film though sadly. Brief summary: Poor brakes, good balance, handles and turns well. Feels easier to throw around than the softails and the engine feels a
little more responsive too. It's quite vibey being a dyna. Noticable at lower revs, but smooths out at mid revs.
Not too sure how comfy it would be over a long distance but it can't be worse than a 883 or 48!
Not usually a fan of mini apes, but they look right on this bike. The bike looks great overall I reckon.
2015 or 2016 model?
Look at that fuel filler cap? It couldn't have cost them more than $1. So much of that motorcycle looks and feel cheap. I wouldn't have one at half the price.
excellent video you got here, I also have a video on a new 2016 harley davidson street 750cc demo ride on may 14 2016, check it out and let me know what you think. any advice will help thank you
Harley's cost about the same in America as in the U.K...
Yeah its still a proper harley because harley davidson USA tells you so.. dont teach them how to run their business.. even ferarri has some parts that come from china.. performance wise its still excellent..
so what speed did you not get up too ;) ?
+Gummy Bear I did a test ride last weekend and easily got it to 110mph without any fuss. At no point was I fighting the bike, or the bike fighting me for control. It was a perfectly smooth, clean ride in all respects. Very nice bike :)
+James Kaplonek ok thanks for the info
+Gummy Bear Haha! Yeah, 110 is doable and is fine on straight flat roads. But over 80mph on bumpy roads, it bucks and weaves a fair bit!
Man, it sounds like a lawn mower. -_-
0:52 “I know in America Harley’s are very cheap.” WTF is this guy smoking??? If HD were as inexpensive as he seems to think, HD wouldn’t have ONLY 50% of the market in the US!
Harleys are ridiculously overpriced in USA. They try to portray a vehicle for the blue collar working class but only douchey rich urbanites can afford them.
+Richard Calalang wat? the average price of a sportster is around 9-10 and a 103 on average is 14-16.
A person isn't douchey if they can afford an overpriced motorcycle.
And just what do you get with that money? That's also in black without ABS, traction control, riding modes or LED headlights. For that price you'd expect some name brand parts, too, but no. House brand brakes and suspension and they are both pretty shit for the price.
You are talking out of your butthole stop!
"England"? I think you meant " Great Britain."
+Stephanie G I can't tell if I'm ignorant here, or if you are. Are you familiar with the area he's in, i.e. do you know if he's in Wales or Scotland? If not, England isn't improper. I'm pretty sure Great Britain refers to the land mass that's made up of Wales, England and Scotland. So while Great Britain wouldn't be wrong, neither would England.
Ill design my own bike source parts from different countries that manufacture leather, aluminum parts etc... and that might be the perfect bike for me! This review perhaps is just a subjective point of view of someone whom you trust in riding a motorcycle in general the reason why we are watching It simply has no bearing with our own experience with the bike lets not get carried away or else you would likely become one of them fashion victims like the other clowns out there..
