Harley-Davidson motorcycles might conjure images of relaxed cruising machines now, but the company’s roots are in hell-raising hot-rod bikes like the Sportster, and Harley is aiming to recapture some of that spirit with the new Street Rod, a bike it declares is the most nimble ride in their lineup.
This performance upgrade starts with the Street Rod’s water-cooled, overhead cam 750 cc V-twin engine, which enjoys a larger air box, a new dual-throat throttle body, revised four-valve cylinder heads and high-lift camshafts, and a higher-volume muffler, compared to the engine in the Street 750 model. Engineers also increased the compression ratio from 11.0:1 to 12.0:1 and raised the engine redline from 8,000 to 9,000 rpm.
