Harley Street 750 to be showcased at India Bike Week '14

Harley-Davidson will showcase the made in India Street 750 motorcycle at India Bike Week '14. The bike will be displayed from 17th January onwards at Vagator beach, Goa.

The Street 750 motorcycle is powered by a 749cc, V-Twin, liquid cooled engine mated to a 6 speed gearbox. Harley-Davidson calls this the Revolution X engine. Typical of Harleys, the Street 750 is going to be belt driven. The bike will have a 2 into 1 exhaust, single caliper disc brakes and wheel sizes of 17'' at the front and 15'' at the rear.

The bike will have finance options from Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS) along with insurance and extended warranty options in select markets, unfortunately India is not one of these markets. The Street 750 motorcycle is a part of the Project Rushmore by Harley-Davidson & was unveiled during the 2013 EICMA Motor Show in Milan.

Pricing remains to be a key aspect to watch out for when the bike is launched in the coming week. Sources at Harley have confirmed that the price will be less that Rs. 5 lakh on-road. Impressive pricing has the potential to open the doors for those bikers fence-sitting in anticipation of a lower priced Harley-Davidson.

 

Update: New information has indicated that the bike will be revealed at IBW, and the pricing will be announced at Auto Expo. This article has been updated accordingly.
