Think of a Harley-Davidson and you’ll likely imagine an old man riding a cruiser on the highway. But this is another kind of Harley altogether.
Unveiled this week at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy, the new Harley-Davidson Street 500 and Street 750 ride on the first new chassis to roll out of Milwaukee in bar-mitzvah years. Which seems about right, as they’re not designed for the old man on the highway; they’re for younger customers for use in the city.
The Street series is powered by a new Revolution X engine (a smaller version of the water-cooled engine co-designed with Porsche) in a 60-degree V-twin configuration with four-valve cylinder heads and available in 494 and 749 cc displacements. Engine size aside, all other specs are the same between the two models: a six-speed transmission, 2-into-1 exhaust, disc brakes, 2-passenger seat, etc…
In short, the Street series is a cafe racer from a company known for cruisers and choppers. And with a price range of $6,700-$7,500, they’re more affordable than the traditional Harley, too. Like what you see so far? Check it out in the gallery above, plus three videos and the official press release below.Continue reading Harley-Davidson launches liquid-cooled Street 500 and 750 [w/videos]
