KEY FEATURES:

- A muscular middleweight motorcycle with upgraded performance, handling and more aggressive riding position
- All new, High Output Revolution X™ 750 V-twin engine
- New chassis geometry with 17-inch front and rear wheels deliver fast, responsive steering
- 43mm upside-down forks are matched by remote reservoir rear shocks
- Dual 300mm front discs and ABS braking as standard
- Three paint options show off the Street Rod's Dark Custom™ style to the maximum (Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim and Olive Gold)
STYLING:
- Powered by the all-new High Output Revolution X™ 750 engine, the Street Rod is matched with sharper chassis geometry and an aggressive riding position
- Upgrade to the suspension, brakes and wheels
- Its tough look is drenched in Harley-Davidson Dark Custom™ styling (plus hints of flat-track steel) and oozes purpose, with a hunched forward, ready-for-action
- Thick, blacked-out forks and triple camps, topped with a new speed screen (colour-matched to the bodywork except for a black centre insert) add mass to the front end. A new tail section, with perforated rear mudguard, lightens the rear; the taillight is crisp LED, as are the indicators
- New rear shock absorbers feature an external reservoir to increase fluid capacity and maintain damping consistency; travel is increased 31% to 117mm. The swing arm is slightly longer to accommodate the taller shocks, with performance-inspired styling
- A new seat shape is designed to hold the rider firmly in place and seat height is raised to 765 mm, to enhance the rider's view forward
- The Street Rod also features new forged brake/gear levers plus aluminium rear-set footpegs that aid control and make it easier for more riders to get good ground reach when stationary. To suit more spirited riding lean angle is increased from 28.5° left and right to 37.3° right and 40.2° degrees left
- The flat, drag-style handlebar creates an aggressive riding position; new bar-end rear-view mirrors can be mounted above or below the grips, and feature a patent-pending design that allows them to fold back without interfering with the rider's hands.
- The Street Rod wears exclusive 17-inch front and rear Open Spoke Black Cast aluminium wheels and new Michelin Scorcher 21 radial tyres, sized 120/70 R17V front and 160/60 R17V rear; dual two-piston calipers and 300mm front disc brakes plus ABS deliver powerful, controlled stopping power
- Harley-Davidson's Smart Security System is standard fitment
ENGINE:
- The Street Rod has a punchy mid-range torque and an extra 1,000rpm. The Street Rod's liquid-cooled, single OHC 8V 60° V-Twin High Output Revolution X 750 engine delivers peak torque at 4,000 rpm
- The engine is tuned to deliver strongly between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm, with strong mid-range performance that a rider can feel in real-world situations.
- It features a larger volume air box and new dual 42mm throttle bodies, new four-valve cylinder heads and high-lift camshafts, plus a higher-volume exhaust muffler – all designed to increase airflow and efficiency
- Compression ratio is raised from 11.0:1 to 12.0:1 and the redline goes from 8,000 to 9,000 rpm.
CHASSIS:
- Sharper geometry plus new suspension and brakes deliver agile handling.
- The Street Rod chassis is engineered to match the performance of the engine. The front end features rigid 43mm upside-down forks gripped by lightweight aluminium yokes. Fork rake is tightened from 32° to 27° for quicker steering.
- New rear shock absorbers feature an external reservoir to increase fluid capacity and maintain damping consistency; travel is increased 31% to 117mm. The swing arm is slightly longer to accommodate the taller shocks, with performance-inspired styling.
The all-new Street Rod is expected in H-D dealerships across Australia and New Zealand during May and will be priced at $12,995 rideaway in Australia and $13,995 rideaway in New Zealand.
