Oh do keep up old chap! A sort of successor to the Buell singles of a few years ago, but with a bit more oomph. Also being marketted world-wide, as H-D looks to increase its total market share. There is also a 500cc version for some markets. My only comment is they look a bit black! It would be tempting to buy one and do a radical repaint, just to cheer it up.....

They do red and blue, but it doesn't quite go.

That's quite true, however they only have three parts that colour, the rest of them is pretty black!

Very true. You know, sometimes I can't help looking at the Street and thinking it looks like a baby Lowrider S. I bet gold wheels like the Lowrider S would suit the Street too and brighten it up a bit.

Wheelbase is 60", it is not a small bike. If they install 1000cc with 100 HP, that would be really nice bike.
750 has 57 hp
Is 750 related to VROD engine?

It is a Revolution variant of the V rod engine. That 750 stock will keep up with a stock H-D touring bike any day all day long. Very quick. The hp is much higher on the rpm range than a TC. the hp is 67 not 57. The 17 Street Rod model is 74 hp.

The Kury mirror extenders worked fine.

i have a 15 street 750.
its been my commuter bike since i brought it home.
i put on about 50 miles a day on it.

its good fun, very responsive and it corners like a dream.

Edit:

the mirrors are crap, all you see are your shoulders/forearms

the universal HD mirror extenders don't fit this naturally... you'll need a 5/16 machine bolt (1 inch long) to make it work.

For those having mirror issues check out the new street rod with the bar end mirrors. Street rod also has more power. Street 500 available in every market that the 750 is in. All very capable bikes. 6 speed transmission helps a ton. We use a fleet of 13 of these in our Riding academy classes. 50 classes and they have less than a thousand miles and running strong. FYI might be less than a grand but those are all low speed parking lot miles with uneducated riders.
