Default Is there a section for the new Street 500 and 750 mototcycles?

Looking to see what the membership thinks about this new line of bikes!

Nope. Too new to warrant their own section.

I dunno, but they are nice bikes. Think I might start my son on a 500 since he wants a street bike.

I don't think these bikes will do well. Real Harley riders ain't interested, & ricers want more performance.

I remember when the Rushmore bikes were that new, and had a section . . .

I disagree with Dickey. I think the 500/750's are going to do very well. I saw a 750 at Moroney's in New Windsor on Friday. While I did not ride it, I did sit on it. From that limited exposure, I thought the bike was set up nicely. The 500's will be the ones used in the rider's course, so the natural progression will be from the class to the street on a bike you are familiar with.

While the purists won't ever embrace water cooling, it is here to stay. Look at how popular the Twin Cooled Ultra is. It's only a matter of time before this creeps into the entire HD line-up.

I hope the Streets do well. I think it was a market HD was missing.

I think they will do well too. I have a few friends who are more of the sport bike type and really have no interest in cruisers and they think the street 750 is pretty sweet and said it is a Harley they would ride

Who said you can't post about them in General Chat?
