World of mean machines: Harley's new urban bulldog!!

What's up guys!! Revminister here!!
And welcome to the world of mean machines!!

America's legendary superbike brand Harleydavidson just launched the Street rod, in India. They call it the Urban bulldog!! Because Harley claims that this is currently the sportiest bike in their India line-up.

Lets see how hard this bulldog can bite!!!

Some people would say that this bike looks similar to the street 750. Yes, it is a street 750, but this time it is even more agile, a bit more powerful and a hell lot sporty!!!

This picture clearly shows how sportier the street rod is in front of the street 750

It has an all new sporty design with the speed screen at front. The foot pegs are more rear set and also adjustable for taller riders. The handle bar is changed from cruiser bars to frag bars with bar end mirrors to give an aggressive riding position.

The all new semi-digital instrument cluster gives it a modern look!

The rake is sharper then the street 750, You get 17" cast aluminum rims. The high output Revolution X™ engine is now retuned to give out 11.6% more power and 5.1% more torque.

You get a dual disc brake setup at front which give it more stopping power and it also gets ABS as standard! Which in my opinion is a huge plus point!

Looks like Harleydavidson has listened to their customer's demand and have finally added ABS as standard on this bike!

Is it actually that sporty?

Hell yeah! the bike is way more agile then the street 750. The new brake and suspension setup give you immense confidence to push it harder. The new engine revs all the way upto 9000 rpm!

The new rims look great on the bike and also match the sporty theme of the bike!

Now enough of the good stuff! Lets get to the Bad stuff!!

Even though its liquid cooled, it heats up a fair bit. So if you are planning to ride it in city's stop and go traffic, make sure you go well prepared. Also the engine feels buzzie above 6000 rpm. The on-off throttle transitions aren't that smooth.

The conclusion!!!
At 6.31 lakhs (ex-showroom) Mumbai, its a steal. If you are a person who is a huge Harley Davidson fan but at the same time like to go fast then this bike is just made for you!!
