Conclusion
These few shortcomings apart, the Street 750 remains a well put together and should go a long way in taking the abuse our roads conditions could chuck at it. Riding incessantly over broken patches wasn`t enough to lead to any rattles whatsoever. During our test runs, the 750 returned a respectable 20 kmpl.
The iconic and legendary Harley Davidson badge enjoys a cult following in India as it does anywhere on this planet, its refined and potent V twin and finally its mouthwatering price tag make the Street 750 an irresistible proposition barring a few glitches. With buyers already queuing up for this new kid on the block, Harley Davidson should look forward to impressive sales figures for the Street 750.

nice review with photos
Hopefully Harley will take note of the un-impressive aspects and work towards improving them. Tyres can be swapped for a stickier pair, mirrors can be replaced by more functional ones from the RE Thunderbird. But practically nothing can be done about the weak brakes and weird foot-peg placement. Maybe an after market job on the pillion seat could make it a better place to be in. Lack of a fuel gauge is a major grouse, hoping Harley incorporates one or atleast makes it available as an accessory………….
it is better…..
Clarke- you said it. Its only a start. Hopefully it keeps growing and growing for Harley. Already some talk going on with the forums. HDforums.com and hdstreetforum.com are talking about this bike.
So here you go: Cruddy tires, funky pegs, weak disc brakes, un-impressive metal work on the tank. I'm glad Harley is breaking into the world market in the critical mid-size market. But, they've got a ways to go to catch up with any of the big 4 from Japan on quality and workmanship. It's a decent start, but only that. A start.
