The 2018 Harley-Davidson® Street Rod®
Harley-Davidson® turned heads with the 2013 launch of their Street® line, originally designed to be quick, fun bikes for entry level riders in the city. Now, in 2017, Harley® has released the Street Rod®, a high performance reimagination of the Street® 750 with cooler looks, better riding, and jaw dropping power that’s not just noticeable, it’s inescapable. This bike can carve up the concrete jungle with the best of them, and it starts an extremely reasonable price, so there’s no reason not to take one for a test ride. When you’re ready to mount up and take off no a Street Rod®, stop by Wild Fire Harley-Davidson® in Villa Park, Illinois. We’re just a short ride from Chicago and we carry the best from one of America’s most iconic brands: Harley-Davidson®.
Extreme Power & Tuned Performance
After seeing the doorbuster success of the Street® 750, Harley® engineers knew they could take things further. Power, braking, and suspension were all cranked up to the redline, and this bike rides like you won’t believe. The most obvious improvement is the all-new 750cc High Output Revolution X® engine which adds 18% more horsepower and 8% more torque from previous iterations of the engine. With a super-high 12:1 compression ratio, this bike squeezes incredible power and efficiency out of a moderate cylinder size. With a 9,000 RPM redline and performance tuned transmission, this bike shows full steam through the entire power band.
But engineers didn’t just stop at the engine. They also shifted the riding position up and forward, which helps the bike lean up to 40 degrees in corners. The inverted 43mm front forks and piggyback reservoir rear suspension help to make sure both wheels are always on the ground for maximum control and power. The bike also comes with optional ABS and dual 300mm front brakes for stop-on-a-dime grip.
Unforgettable Style
Aggressive styling has always made Harley-Davidson® bikes stand out from the pack, and the Street Rod® continues that infamous tradition with unforgettable flair. You won’t find much chrome on this muscle bike thanks to Dark Custom styling. Here flat black and anodized aluminum finishes dominate for a mean look that fits the fast pace of the city. Up top, you’ll find a Daymaker Projector LED headlight which illuminates the road ahead with ease. The Screamin’ Eagle Buckshot Exhaust is big, bold, and full of that legendary Harley-Davidson® engine growl. As mentioned before, the riding posture is slightly elevated and angled forward for a more aggressive stance, and the drag style handlebars work perfectly with this new position to provide great control during turns and straightaways. Speaking of the handlebars, the handgrips come in a Diamond Black treatment (as do the footpegs) which matches the look of the glossy black wheels. Of course, adapting the bike to your style is easy with Harley-Davidson® customization. Just ask your dealership about options for paint and trim packages.
