El modelo se suspendió en los Estados Unidos después de 2020 y se retiró gradualmente en todo el mundo a medida que Harley cambiaba su enfoque hacia los segmentos de aventura eléctricos y de peso mediano LiveWire.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Clutch
The Street 500's wet clutch is known to drag or slip prematurely, especially in city stop-and-go riding. Early inspection and proper fluid maintenance can prevent costly repairs.
Steep Depreciation Curve
The Street 500 depreciates faster than most Harley-Davidson models, losing roughly 30-40% of value in the first two years. This makes used examples excellent value buys, but hurts owners at resale time.
India-Built, Global Reach
Unlike most Harleys, the Street 500 was manufactured in India, which keeps costs low but has raised some concerns among buyers about build quality consistency compared to U.S.-made models.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A capable city learner you'll sell within two years."
$3,500-$6,000 usedThe Street 500 is Harley's attempt at an entry-level urban commuter, and honestly, it's a mixed bag. The liquid-cooled Revolution X engine is actually decent for city riding — smooth enough, fuel-efficient, and more modern than anything else wearing a bar-and-shield badge. Used examples flood the market because riders outgrow them fast, which means prices are reasonable. Check the chain drive carefully on any used example; they're often neglected by first-timers who didn't know better. The real issue is that 500cc makes around 30 horsepower, so highway riding feels genuinely stressful once traffic moves above 65mph. It's not dangerous, just unpleasant — you're wringing its neck constantly. The suspension is budget-tier and the brakes need upgrading almost immediately. Parts availability has improved but independent Harley dealers sometimes won't touch these because margins are thin. For a city-only learner bike that looks the part without the intimidating size of a Sportster, there's a case to be made. But go in knowing you'll want something bigger within 18 months.
