Following a knee replacement and rotator cuff surgery, my Deluxe seemed to be getting heavier as Medicare kicked in. So I downsized to the Street 750 about a month ago. I almost threw it over the first time I raised it from the side stand. I don’t get the second looks like I did on the Deluxe, but this bike is a hoot to ride. It doesn’t have the fit and finish of the softail, but no chrome to polish either. I’m a minimalist by nature, so the simplicity of the bike appeals to me. It is a different experience than a typical cruiser, more like a sport standard.

 

I've never ridden a big Harley. I like the low weight and easy management of smaller bikes myself, and the center-stand is super-easy to use. I had some bikes that would kill your back if you tried to use the center-stand.

 

whatever works, your riding!! many older riders buy trikes as well but $$$$!! as long as your satisfied DO NOT worry what others think or say!!

 

Good for you OP! Do what you have to do to keep riding

 

Enjoy the ride no madder what you ride. I have had some fun with the street 750. Now with the sidecar on it it even more fun. When my knees go a sidecar is going on the Touring bike .

 

Thanks for the responses. I like the side car idea, Smitty. Any pics?

 

Moved it from our 1996 Fb to the 750 Street last week. Out playing today with it.

That’s awesome. Definitely makes riding in the snow easier. Not a problem for us in coastal Florida, though, haha. I’m going to start looking for one.

 

There is a learning curve to riding one, Not that hard to get down. Mounting is a not impossible, but takes some work to get right. No raked tree was needed in this case.
