New Look, New Attitude

The most obvious element visible on first sight of the all-new Street Rod® is its attitude problem. Thanks to its Dark Custom™ styling, this bike trades chrome for blacked out components that command attention. A Screamin’ Eagle® Buckshot Exhaust lets out the infamous Harley-Davidson® growl, while on the ground, glossy black spoke wheels put power to blacktop. The drag style handlebars provide comfort and precise control, while a Daymaker Projector LED headlight cuts through the darkness with clean, clear light. What really makes this bike feel custom, though, are all the small details that abound throughout. The footpegs and hand grips come in matching Diamond Black, while the fuel tank is trimmed with a glossy stripe. The axle nut covers are also blacked out, and you’ll find the Dark Custom™ medallion on the side to show you this bike’s style credentials. If there are any changes you’d like to make yourself, you can also customize it to fit your look and style through your dealership.

Extreme Power and Performance

What many people don’t know is that Harley-Davidson® started when William S. Harley designed an engine. Over a century later, the Street Rod® maintains this engine-first mindset with the jaw-dropping power of the 750 cc High Output Revolution X™ engine. A higher-than-average 12:1 compression helps to burn fuel efficiently while also developing the most power possible. This leads to a redline at 9,000 rpm, giving the bike incredible acceleration.

This power sits in an athletic chassis with responsive suspension. In front, engineers used a 43mm inverted front fork to make steering a breeze. In the rear, a piggyback reservoir rear suspension gives the bike just the right amount of travel while keeping things extremely rideable. To help cornering, the designers shifted the riding posture up which gives riders as much as 40 degrees of corner lean. You can hug corners hard and shoot out the other side like a rocket.

Riding Your Own Harley-Davidson®

You may have ridden a motorcycle before, but if you’ve never ridden your own Harley®, you’re missing out on one of the pure pleasures of motorcycle riding. The exhaust lets out a deafening growl, while the engine provides gut-punch acceleration whenever you get on the throttle. Wind flies past your face, and the other motorists and riders will stare at the iconic styling of your bike. A Harley-Davidson® is a statement of individuality and independence, and it’s something you can’t fake or counterfeit with a lesser motorcycle. Schedule a test ride today and see what it feels like to ride a real American motorcycle.
