2018 Harley Davidson Street Rod 750 Motorcycle Review

Harley-Davidson introduced their Street Rod 750 to Australia this year, with only the Street 500 being offered in our market as a LAMS option, while the regular Street 750 was absent.

Instead the Street Rod 750 offers a High Output version of the Revolution X 750, as well as up-spec suspension and brakes, sportier styling and significantly more performance across the board.

Here's our thoughts on the Harley-Davidson Street Rod...

Hi, great review. I have one and love it. For a HD, it's definitely sportier than most and handles really well. I commute to work on the street rod and couldn't be happier. I'm 5 foot 6 and have no trouble so far with the ergonomics.

Bars and forward controls, the seating look's made for IT.

Ive got a street rod 750.I found at first i was getting cramps in my hips, but after riding it for longer periods of time, the cramps went away.I raised the bars 45mm which helped the rider comfort heaps.The more you ride it, the more comfortable it is to ride.Its got plenty of power & very nimble to ride.Thanks for the review

Hi all I went to a local Harley dealer here in Australia jumped ok a street rod for a test ride, my inner leg got hot at traffic lights from the rear cylinder and I thought it was a little under powered but a great bike to ride and I'm leaning more towards purchasing one soon.

Took one for a spin from Frazers in Newcastle. I had major problem with that exhaust pipe being so close to my calves when standing. The footpegs were too high casing some cramps after 15 minutes of riding. It goes and handles well, but not spectacular in any way. In the nutshell, very good bike screwed up by poor ergonomics.

What do you think for someone (F, 5"7) who used to ride a Ducati streetfighter 848 and an Aprilia Tuono 1000 before that? I haven't ridden since I sold the Streetfighter 3 years ago, but I wonder if this bike will be underwhelming once I've ridden it for a few months..I find the Streetfighter 848 to have perfect power and torque for my city commute and weekend rides..

Also what's the tank range?

Hi I have a question as this would be my first bike. I'm 5' 3" would this bike be a low rider or the standard height? also would you have any idea if a learner can ride it as well.

That color so hard to find, dose anyone know the official color name ?

[pauloakes]

Fancied one of these but my mate tells me the fuel economy is dreadful. Can anyone confirm?

750 isn't LAMS.
Compare apples with apples.
Not the same market!

My god !!! thats ugly lol - looks like they got a load of parts bin stuff - there you go lads thatl do ya!!! dreadful

Still street xg 750 is far too good than the street rod.
Real riders can do without the abs.
Before there was ABS, how on earth do our ancestors brake without ABS.
Newer rider might need the ABS.
Further more the design of the street is much more macho than the street rod.
Anyway, ride safely and stay safe at all time.
