Harley Davidson has just launched the Street 750 for India at the Auto Expo 2014 at a mouth watering price of Rs. 4.1 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. Harley India MD, Mr. Anoop Prakash went on to say that bookings will start on March 1st and deliveries will commence soon after. The price point is definitely going to be the talk of the town for a good long time, it take the fight right to the Hyosungs, especially the soon to be announced GV250 Aquila, which is expected in the price range of 3L. The Street 750 produces 65 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM from the new Revolution X engine. We think design wise it strays away from the typical Harley and sticks to design principles that are not typical Harley, practical and conservative. With the max torque coming is so low, even with the 6 speed transmission riding around the city will not be that much of a pain. There has not been any mention of any other colour option and at least for now it looks like the Street 750 will only be available in Black. One important thing that we noticed was that the Street 750 has the best ground clearance from among all the other Harley’s, not bad considering the roads it will be subjected to here in India. No word on the Street 500 as well during the press Q&A. More photographs and videos from the launch to follow, watch this space.
The Street 750 comes powered by the all-new Revolution X engine – a pure Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine specifically designed for urban riding. It is liquid-cooled to maintain peak performance both in the city and on the highway. A single overhead cam, four valves per head and a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission all translate to provide an instant response on the throttle to move quickly from stop to go. Café-style speed screen, black front fork gaiters, all-black exhaust system and aggressive slash on the tail section deliver on Harley-Davidson’s signature Dark Custom attitude.
The Street 750 motorcycle retailed in India will also come fitted with premium Zapper tires from MRF designed for Harley-Davidson. Launched in India, the new Street from Harley-Davidson will also be built and exported to select international markets at the company’s assembly facility in Bawal, Haryana.
