Harley-davidson Street Rod 750
The Harley-davidson Street Rod 750 has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated; note: real-world results may vary slightly), produces 65 hp and weighs 223 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.8/10.
The Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750 was introduced in 2017 as a performance-oriented evolution of the Street 750, targeting younger and urban riders with a more aggressive riding position and higher-revving engine tune. It featured a high-output version of the Revolution X V-Twin engine with upgraded suspension and larger front brakes, distinguishing it from the standard Street 750. The model was discontinued around 2020 as Harley-Davidson restructured its lineup, but it remains notable as one of the brand's attempts to appeal to entry-level and international markets.

What Buyers Should Know
Excessive Heat Issues
The Street Rod 750 is notorious for radiating significant heat onto the rider's legs, especially in stop-and-go traffic. This is a top complaint among owners and worth considering if you ride in hot climates or urban settings.
Weak Resale Value
The Street Rod 750 depreciates faster than most Harley-Davidson models due to its positioning as an entry-level bike with limited collector appeal. Buyers can often find used examples at significant discounts, making it a budget-friendly used purchase.
Unique Liquid-Cooled Engine
Unlike most Harleys, the Street Rod 750 features a liquid-cooled Revolution X engine, which improves long-term reliability and reduces heat-related engine wear. This makes it mechanically more modern than traditional air-cooled Harley models.
Generations & Specs by Year
Initial release with High Output Revolution X 750cc V-twin, aggressive styling, USD forks, single rear shock.
Used Buyer Review
"A flawed but genuinely fun urban Harley worth buying carefully."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe Street Rod 750 is Harley's attempt at injecting some sportiness into their entry-level lineup, and honestly it mostly works. The liquid-cooled Revolution X engine pulls harder than you'd expect from a 750, especially mid-range, and the slightly more aggressive ergonomics actually make city riding genuinely fun. It's not a cruiser pretending to be sporty — it has real intent. Check the front forks carefully on any used example; they're a known weak point and replacement parts aren't cheap. The brakes are merely adequate at best, and don't even think about pushing it hard without upgrading the rear shock first. Build quality is decent but not exceptional for the badge. Electrics can be temperamental on higher-mileage bikes, so pull the seat and inspect the wiring harness before handing over cash. Parts availability has improved, but independent shops still scratch their heads at these sometimes. Buy one under 15,000 miles with service history and you'll have a genuinely characterful urban bike that turns heads without destroying your wallet.
