I just bought my wife a '15 Street 750 today. Her B-day is the 28th and I'm going to surprise her. She had a SG but she dropped it while in Blue Ridge Mts. a couple of years ago and it scared her so we ended up selling it. I haven't read too many great things about the 750 but they say it's better than the Sportster which was the only other choice. (she has to ride a Harley!!!)


Looking for anyone else who has one and what they think.

 

Take video and pics!! Hope she loves it. Get her to join us in the Queens of the Road.

 

Those are sharp bikes. It cracks me up that some folks think that a Harley 750 is a "small" bike. I remember when my Honda CB750 was considered a "big" bike. I'm sure she will love the present.

 

If she doesn't I have a birthday coming up! Lol my wife has a 1200t and she loves it! She would be happy with the street 750! The important thing is that the bike fits her and is fun to ride!

 

I have over 4K miles on my 750. It has performed exceptionally. MPG ranges from a low of 45 and a high of 60.

It tracks as well as any of the over 60 bikes that I have had. All aspects of handling are above average for a cruiser. The ride is comfortable but a little stiff.

I'm 6'3" 210 lbs and never had it bottom out.

The only issue was the fuel pump recall. Some units had an issue and HD was prompt in correcting it.

As far as acceleration is concerned it will give it's bigger HD brothers a surprising run for the money. I cruised on I-90 at 75 to 80 mph on the way to and back from Sturgis this year. I think I was the only rider to choose a Street for the trip.

 

I rode a street 500 for my MSC in it handled great, was easy to maneuver. I think she will love it.

 

I've been in your area before, be careful riding around there with all the blue hair lady's in the area. That said you have some good baseball in the area. spring training/minor league I'm jealous.

 

I appreciate the feedback and you are a hardcore biker if you rode a 750 to Sturgis and back! I'm a little concerned about the rough ride, given that she only weighs 130lbs and you feel it may be on the stiff side at 210lbs. I may have to soften it up but I'll let her decide...and yes I will have pics up after next weekend.

 

This is the wife hijacking hubby's log in.

I have the Street and I love it! 1400 miles so far, no problems. There is a recall on the fuel pump with the dealers getting the parts in mid September. I'm 5'7" and the seat height is perfect. I like the standard controls, a much better riding position for me. I feel I'm more in control. A really nice guy (ih4x4) sent me some extended foot pegs, they really help. Hubby adjusted the foot brake up a little since I was used to a higher position. That's about all I needed to do. The mirrors are small, I did get some longer ones.

It's a great bike, she'll love it!

 

My wife had a 05 honda shadow 750 which was heavy for her and visually intimidating but she rode it and did drop it twice in parking situations..
She has had her stteet 750 for about 3 weeks and in all scenarios feels great on it and rides it like she owns it and is extremely confident on it. It's about 80 something pounds lighter than my 883 and fits her perfectly. It's a great bike for your wife speaking from experience.
My wife hasn't ridden in 8 years and was hesitant with the street because of her past experiences with the shadow but she doesn't even skip a beat with this one.
She's already ordered drag bars and bar end mirrors and a new seat. She's very excited...
