2020 Harley-Davidson STREET ROD

[@catmandu6776]

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here but I love the look of the tank on that bike. In my mind, that bike looks like the perfect balance, if a HD cruiser had a baby with a sport bike. And I know a lot of people complain about the riding position and I'm sure there's a lot of merit to that but as a spectator, the riding position looks awesome. It reminds me of the way jockeys ride racehorses, super aggressive stance. I love it.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

they definitely had a market in mind, and I think for the people that are used to their average Harley motorcycles this is just odd lol. Overall I personally like the motorcycle minus some odds and ends

[@catmandu6776]

@@LugnutsGuapo Yeah, I kind get the feeling that this bike would be a lot more popular if it sported a different name on the tank. This bike seems like it had to change a lot of minds about what it actually was and what it could do. To HD guys, it's a betrayal and well never be a real Harley and to everyone else, it's a Harley and you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It comes with all of the sigma of both sides and none of the hype. But what if enough people were on board and this bike had the after market support of the 883?

[@LugnutsGuapo]

@@catmandu6776 I think it would do great if enough people own these! and honestly, if I had the money I would buy one in a heartbeat and customize it!

[@sanjoysingharoy3287]

I test rodes both street 750 & street rod side by side and finally bought the 750 only because it’s riding posture and I am happy with it.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

yeah, the 750 is more comfortable. The street rod definitely has a more aggressive seating position

[@davidwc2675]

I’m interested in this bike but seems unloved by dealers. No Harley dealer within 150 miles of me has anything in the street series available

[@LugnutsGuapo]

That's a bummer man! It's unfortunate cause it really is a good bike!

[@28_babyshark]

How does this bike compare to the 750 Street Rod??

[@LugnutsGuapo]

you mean compared to a regular street 750? Cause this is a Street Rod in the review

[@28_babyshark]

@@LugnutsGuapo yes the 750 street rod not just the street rod

[@JLRide]

@@28_babyshark This is the 750 Street Rod There are 3 different Street models. Street 500 Street 750 Street Rod (This is also a 750 engine, just with more performance)

[@rodneyhirsch2340]

My daughter has one. Has speed merchant muffler, loud. I'm 60 and can ride it for couple of hrs. She put in 500 miles in 1 day. I have an electra glide for that. Looks good. Hot- wrapped pipes . Helped a lot, still hot.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

That is awesome!

[@jess7819-z3d]

Hey, great review. I bought one in 2018 and love it. If the tank were narrower and higher at the front end it would improve the looks. It's awesome for quick trips around town and commuting but the mids make any long distance trips impossible. Not too bad if you buy it for the right purpose.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

"Not too bad if you buy it for the right purpose." Couldn't agree more!

[@GHOST85690]

Thank you for the review. I'm really confuse should I get this bike or Suzuki GSX-S 750

[@LugnutsGuapo]

They're both great options! I would suggest test riding both before purchasing

[@GHOST85690]

Lugnuts.Guapo Yeah the problem here is the dealership of Suzuki does not offer test ride at this time thanks tho

[@JLRide]

The GSX-S is Japan engineered and built. Has a little more power, is lighter and more nimble but has a chain drive which means it will get really greasy at the rear wheel and will require more maintenance of the chain drive (every 500 miles). The Street Rod is U.S.A engineered and built (for U.S.A. models). It is still fast (0-60 4.2 to 4.5 seconds depending on rider weight) and relatively light 515 pounds roughly. The main selling difference for me was the belt drive. No maintenance and no grease on my rear wheel after riding. A bonus was buying from HD a U.S.A. company.

[@davidacevedo4511]

I changed the mirrors couldn't stand the stock one

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Good thing you did, I can't stand them either

[@pw4885]

Hi guys. Choosing between the street rod and a xsr700/900. How bad is the squatting situation on the street rod? Are you able to overcome it or is it a dealbreaker? Thanks in advance

[@Masoweczka]

Love the bike. Brand new cost £7,000 so I am considering in buying one.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

its definitely not a bad option for the price

[@tinman7159]

Hey you want that crate lid with the Harley logo??? Lol..

[@ramizsheriff3050]

Super Duper 👍

[@Kurtanius21]

You nailed it. Great bike, but that fuel tank has to go!!! Sitting on it contorts me into a squatting toad position. Super uncomfortable. Fix the tank, and I’ll consider getting one!

[@LugnutsGuapo]

100% I don't know what Harley was thinking when they designed that tank!

[@danicuendias]

I just lifted the tank and way better now :)

Well done Guapo!!

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Thank you!!

[@quyle9483]

Nice vid boss! Just picked one up. Did some bolt ons and getting it dyno tuned atm. Harley really needed to add bikes like this to their lineup. On paper, the technical specs make more sense to the public for the cost to "what you get" ratio. And man, it is a really smooth running bike. The mid controls is what I dislike the most. Again nice vid, I hit the subscribe button!

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Thanks for the support!! I agree, those mids are just awkward. The engine is buttery smooth and has loads power to give on the top end! Congrats on the new bike!

[@dennism103]

I think those are pretty badass

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Agreed! I would just do some minor changes and voila! I would daily it!

[@dennism103]

Those mirrors look cool

[@gjooyzon8669]

NIce honest review thanks

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@momz6569]

So much faster than the Indian Scout, and cheaper than the Scout too.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

I'm yet to ride the indian scout yet, but it is cheaper

[@JLRide]

No. The Indian Scout is faster. The Street Rod is more agile, has a higher lean angle, and is also a lot cheaper.

[@johncerro7486]

Jose Luis Indian scout runs hot I live in California it don’t get that hot in the Bay Area I sold my Indian scout when the engine fan came on at 220 degrees it would cook you lost big money.on the Indian it get hot quit

[@JLRide]

@@johncerro7486 my Street Rod gets really hot as well. If I am not moving it is cooking my thighs.

[@azadirachta79s18]

I love sporty Harley

[@dennism103]

Those are really cool it reminds me of a Ducati a little

[@MrToonfish]

In the US, a motorcycle reaching 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 minutes is a "fast" motorcycle. In the US a lightweight motorcycle is a motorcycle that weights about 525 lbs. We have different views in Europe :-) (Just kidding obviously !)

[@LugnutsGuapo]

I agree with you in the sense that this bike is not fast by comparison to other brands that build lighter and faster bikes, the reference I'm making is in comparison to other Harley bikes and other bikes within the segment which this bike falls into. If I wanted fast in the sense you speak of I would probably go to kawasaki, ducatti and other brands (or fully modify this harley). All that to say I think we do have the same standard of what "fast" means, and in the context of this video this is relatively quick. Thanks for your feedback, it is very much appreciated! Cheers!

[@MrToonfish]

@@LugnutsGuapo I was joking dear... I love Harley's and if I'm there is that because I am looking at this Street Rod for a while, since last year in fact. I had a Buell X1 back in the days but the past 15 years I had Ducati Monster 600, Monster S2R, Monster S4R, Monster 1100EVO and Triumph Street Cup. I want something else, I'm 52 years old now, so being "fast" is not really important anymore, I'm not in a hurry to be buried 6 feet under :-) Cheers.

[@LugnutsGuapo]

@@MrToonfish lol gotcha, you never know nowadays with keyboard warriors. I really liked some of those buells, they were fun to ride! Well I wish you luck on your next bike, ride safe! Cheers!

[@gur262]

@@MrToonfish maybe look at the Yamaha mt01

[@MrToonfish]

@@gur262 Never look at any Japanese bikes... Errare Japonum Est :-) Just kidding, there's one I really love it's the Kawasaki Z900RS.

[@coyote4936]

The tank is hideous

[@johnspinos]

Every thing you wish this Street Rod had, are done in another motorcycle. Its the Suzuki SV650. Everything the same, but also better. Minus the name.

[@Fletch_Rides]

Great review!

[@LugnutsGuapo]

Thanks man!!

[@tinman7159]

That Porsche engine is the only thing Harley did right for some time . Solid engineering, german no going wrong there.. THE YOUNG CROWD WANTS SNOTTY POWER AND GOOD LOOKS . I DONDT BLAME THEM... NEW SPORSTER WITH UPDATED LOOK ,AND HIGH PERFORMANCE V ROD ENGINE STUFFED IN IT.. AT LEAST 90 HORSE LIKE THE OLD CAFE RACER THEY HAD A FEW YEARS AGO.. THAT BITCH WOULD SELL.. YO HARLEY ALL THE WAY OR NOTHING. WTF OVER!!!! NICE INFO VID MY FRIEND..

[@LugnutsGuapo]

thanks man!!🤙

[@akaredcrossbow]

They stole the front fender from the V-Rod! At least the V-Rod looked and felt more like a Harley Davidson than this thing. The Street Rod 750 has less torque and horsepower than the V-ROD. Discontinue this moped and bring back the V-ROD! Talk about going backwards in design and technology! I think HD has mental issues!

[@JLRide]

This is the baby V-Rod. At about half the price and nearly half the engine.
