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.

Thank you Kris for another great review.

Nice Review, well done

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

Hey Phil, I bought one as well in Sydney. I completely agree with you about the initial cramps. It does get easier the longer you have it. For me the style, nimbleness and performance, as well as the Harley brand far outweighs the poor ergos, bulky exhaust and heat issue.

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.

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.

Hey Karl, where are you located. Here in Australia these aren't learner legal, but it may differ elsewhere in the world. It would probably be best to check by sitting on the Street Rod to see how easily you can reach the ground, the 765mm seat height made for an easy reach to the ground for me but I'm about 5'8". The Street 500 is learner legal here, and has a lower seat height and you may find that more suitable.

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 There - here is a link to the full written review, hope that helps... bikereview.com.au/review-2018-harley-davidson-street-rod-750/ In terms of comparing it to your 848 or Tuono... it's really hard, as they are so different. This is a Harley, so although it is a performance model on their terms, it will feel underwhelming to you I'd say... That's my opinion, unless you are ready to cruise instead of ride sportier..

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.

There's a bit of noticeable heat, but nothing we found a problem during testing, wearing jeans at least. Power isn't anything extreme, but it's a nice all-round package.

Hi Paul, I can't recall the exact figures but yes it was thirsty, around 5L/100km. Jeff.

Love me some generic guitar rifts

really good bike so harley axed it ........

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.

Thanks suka! They are definitely quite differently styled. The Streets are more macho like you mention, while the Rod is a bit sportier. We always recommend ABS, the systems are so good now that they should only be coming into play when the rider has done something wrong, or is in an emergency situation. There's still plenty of opportunity to find and learn the limitations of your bike's braking capabilities, but they definitely benefit new riders most, since they are most likely to get out of their depth without realising what they are doing.
