- Harley Davidson Street 750 Motorcycle Review
www.revzilla.com/common-tread/...
Take a few minutes and ride along with RevZilla torture-tester Lemmy as he puts the new Harley Street 750 through its paces. The Street, a new offering from Harley, is Harley's solution for some of the problems dynamic city riders face. Find out how the Street 750 fared after a shakedown from the toughest customer around. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
+Wajid Shaukat: Yes, at 6'2" you can ride this, though you'll likely want a tall-option seat for just a little more legroom. -DrewZilla
Can you guys review the HD Street 500?
+Okie Rider As the 500 is very similar to the 750, we probably won't have a separate review for it, though of course there's always a possibility. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla Ok, I guess I'll subscribe to someone else's channel then. Thanks for the quality reviews.
+Okie Rider The only difference between the 500 and the 750 is the displacement of the engine and the size of the fuel injection port. Everything else is basically the same. Both bikes have the same length, seat height, wheels, tires, engine block, gearbox, gear ratios, brakes, and overall weight. Everything Lemmy said about the handling of the 750 is the same with the the 500. The difference is that because the 500 makes a bit less power, it's a bit slower to accelerate, but it does get a bit better gas mileage than the 750. I apologize that we aren't able to provide a video review for the 500, but I hope this information helps a bit. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thanks, for the quick response. Yes, I understand now why you guys don't do the review. But it's like a lot of car/bike reviews on CZcams only show the high-end bikes and/or loaded GMC Sierra 4x4 crew cab SLE pickup. Not every one can afford expensive toys. Lol
This just might be the best motorcycle review I've ever seen. You gave praise where it was deserved, but also fully picked apart the shortcomings as well. This is the kind of review that buyers need. Great job!
I really like this reviewer, he knows what he talking about and has great screen presence.
Gets the info across real well.
Fantastic review, thorough and super fluid.
That dude at 0:38 needs to learn how to do a proper pushup!
+Biketimist Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it!
+Biketimist and they give Airmen shit! Not one of those soldiers was doing a proper push-up!
I was thinking they were ROTC so I cut em some slack
Looked like officer push-ups. So definitely ROTC or something lesser like National Guard or Reserves
Stacy Harris
F**k you! I use to be in the Army National Guard and I have been deployed more in the Guard than when I was on Active Duty. We can hang with our counter parts (Reserves/AD Branches). I bet that you're not even in the military.
Now, this is one of the best reviews on a motorcycle I ever seen on youtube.
jamesnikki5 it's cause he cares, he is passionate about his job and about motorcycles. Caring is what makes or breaks you. If you do something you love you will become good at it.
Anyone know what year this street is?? Lookin into the 2017 cant find a review
2015
This guy gives awesome reviews
Can't expect a half-assed effort from a guy whose name is Lemmy :)
Lemmy is my hero! Just this week he taught me to clean fork seals!
I've never seen Lemmy before - What a great reviewer. Hope to see more.
Rob Vespa I agree. I'm hoping he and the other people from the RevZilla team keep doing motorcycle reviews.
+Rob Vespa You need to visit Revzilla.com more often, and look at the product videos. Lemmy really rocks on hardware videos. Recently did one on changing out exhaust systems on bikes, and wasn't afraid to show off the burn mark under his wrist watch. Ya gotta love the man who also shows his mistakes. You know, Lemmy is one of those guys who you'd expect to ride around in a Hell's Angels (no offense, Lemmy) jacket and be all bad-assed and stuff, but beneath those curly locks of his there is a razor sharp mind and a LOT of motorcycle knowledge. It really comes across on his videos. The man knows whereof he speaks! :)
I like that Lemmy added the last segment so folks eager to buy a 750 can fix its shortcomings. Good job, great show!
Loved the segment on what to do. Don’t hear that often when critiquing a bike.
Impressed with the professional quality of this review. Good shots of the city.
That pillion seat backrest is quite neat. We dont have those here!
we do power drift seen it myself.Never thought ill be correcting the best hahaha
Haha...we have.
But I'm in doubt whether u r original.🤔😂
We poor Indian don't deserve it
can you ride with two and up to the hills on highway? is it better. Where I would ride it is most 30 km/h and 120 kmh on freeway :D But on weekend we would cruise up the hills on highway, so this seems ok to me. Do you agree? Thanks. and love your way of presentation, cool, down to earth and very inteligent. Stay strong and safe!!!
I love that you guys are doing motorcycle reviews now. It helps a lot with my search to buy another motorcycle.
You all seriously do the best reviews. Bikes or gear. Thank you all for hitting every point and being honest about every positive and negative. This is a HUGE help.
Lemmy, next time I'm in Philly, I got a beer with your name on it. Great review!
This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and both critical and thorough on pros and cons. Icing on the cake? Those cons mentioned; here’s exactly what we’d do to fix them. Awesome. Absolutely awesome review. This sets a high bar. Subscriber earned!
Lemmy, you're making me spend more time watching RevZilla CZcams channel than I'm supposed to. Anyway, I think what makes you an effective video reviewer is your long breathe speaking capability, aside from those absolutely quick delivery of opinions and concepts that really matter and are very well thought out. And we can't hear your breath as you inhale for the next wave of sentences and that's definitely a great thing. Thank you for being a motorcycle rider and for being a video rider. Please continue doing justice for CZcams videos.
Lemmy, that was a fantastically thorough review. I love the format and the practical descriptions of what the bike is like to live with. Very well done.
Best video review of a motorcycle I have ever seen. Keep them coming. :-)
Nice to see/hear the real-world riding experience + pros & cons, instead of just specs and marketing spin.
Wow dude! Every bike reviewer needs to take tips and lessons from you. You're one of the best reviewers I've ever heard. Ride on and keep up the great work!
Revzilla reviews are the best. Perfect amount of time, with the perfect amount of information. Great job, Lemmy!
This was a very well shot video! I like how there are long continuous shots of the bike in motion.
Another great review from Lemmy!
Besides the enthusiasm which I am digging, pointing out good and bad points of the bike in real world riding is awesome. Only thing I thought was missing was how far does the bike go on a tank of petrol.
And being a bike parts store really gives you an advantage over most other reviewers in that not only can you point out shortcomings, you can also give and show solutions to fix them!
Great review. With these already slipping down into the $4-$5K range used, I think I found my next bike. The liquid cooling is a huge deal to someone that has dealt with overheating in traffic on my sportster. I don't want to abandon Harley fully and go to a sport bike so this bike is extremely appealing to me.
This review is insanely informative. Best one I've ever seen and cleared up all questions I had about this bike. As well as providing me advice and a proper direction to go to fix the bike. Couldn't ask for better!!!
I like the way you describe the riding experience of each bike. Your reviews are plain and easy to comprehend. Keep up the great riding explanations!!
I can't agree more with the guys saying this is the best bike review I've ever seen! Great work guys, hope to see more of these (and Lemmy again) in the future.
Lemmy is a great reviewer... but thats not the only reason these videos are awesome.
Great Camera guys, Audio and Editing are usually forgotten. Everyone is doing a great job, keep them coming.
Probably one of the best reviewers I've ever watched.
Another awesome review. You guys are knocking it out of the park! Well done.
Lemmy is the man when it comes to reviewing motorcycles, Good job RevZilla.
Honestly mad respect for sharing the strong positives as well as the strong negatives. AND offering some solutions.
I think if more people modeled this, the world would be better off
Dude, Lemmy is kind of a whole lot of awesome. Love his reviews. Even watched the how to ride a motorcycle just because he was in it. Keep up the great reviews!
One of the best and most comprehensive motorcycle review I have ever seen! Keep up the great work.
I have had mine for almost 6 or 7 months, and I can tell you YES the engine is awesome, you can do almos 80km/h (about 50mph) in 2nd gear if you want to drag a little and you CAN smoke anything around the 900cc range on "typical" cruisers. The torque is in the mid range but as I said you can keep going and going, I´ve never hit the rev limiter actually. You can easily top the needle at 180km/h (111 mph), the tires are perfect, even on wet is still really hard to skid, and the suspension is long, I mean LONG I took it into a little mountain road, with dust and stones just laying around and it never botomed even while riding with passenger (skiny chick, meh). And YES the footpegs are weird, now i have found the "correct" way to step on them wich is with the heel of the boot hanging and the feet pointing forward (knees out, yes, its super weird but it works better that way), the fuel tank is really wide so you can hug it with your knees if you go into rampage mode. The only bad thing i have found is the crappy back seat the dealership offers (the ugly one they have here with the grill included) and that rutinary services are almost as expensive as the Vrod AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND NEUTRAL UNLESS YOU ARE GOING FROM 2ND GEAR, from 1st its virtually imposible. And that thing in the front does not offer any kind of protection from the wind, it should be a little bit taller, m guessing they put it there to hide all the 5yo wirings a little jajaja and if I want to get picky, the seat, I cant help to try to get as far back as i can and Im only 5´10, the tall boy seat is a must if you want to ride long distances. The exhaust is not so bad, when you give it fuel it sounds like a baby vrod, the torquey engine does growl preaty neat mid range. Oh and the throtle guard is horrible, Ive seen better in 150cc scooters, it moves around and makes a plastic noise. BUt for that price, the engine is totally worth it, is a total different feeling than the iron or the japanese bikes, is somewhere between having a little bit of both worlds.
David James I have the same bike, 2015 model the only thing you miss its the front brake really weak I don't know if because master cylinder or the calipers but it's fun bike with no brakes lol
daniele genovesi “fun bike with no brakes“ - that does not sound like fun at all lol. First thing I'd do is replace those brakes with something solid. Anyway, I ride ER6N and I have breaks for daaaays son
Wow - great review! I'm not even in the market for this bike but I watched it through just due to the quality of the commentary.
you guys give the best reviews for any bikes. keep it up. really helps when looking into buying bikes.
Excellent review. Lemmy is an excellent reviewer. His passion, enthusiasm and communication style is top notch. I look forward to future reviews. RevZilla is quickly becoming my go to place for reviews and accessories.
Great job Lemmy!!!!!
I'm so glad you're not a "1 hit wonder." LOL I can't wait to see what you are reviewing next, how about a KTM 690 Enduro? I'm really on the fence about buying one and there just isn't that many critical reviews out there.
Keep up the top notch work!
Just came from a 2018 Street 750 test ride (I have ridden the first model and then this latest one, nothing in between). I have to say, feels like HD watched this video and fixed the bike accordingly.
It really improved a lot, you can actually hear the "clank" when you shift gear, front brake works fine and the bike has also ABS.
Mirrors still suck balls but no big deal, and the pipes well... I don't think they are ever going to change that, since the bike is designed for city riding, they don't want it to make too much noise. I think it's a good time to get this bike, for someone who is looking for his frist ever ride, also considering the fact that many other manufacturers have risen their prices... I don't have numbers on hand but, this really must be in the top 5 most inexpensive motorcycles today
Always appreciate the reviews from Lemmy and the others at Revzilla - always great, practical information!
Watching you ride those downtown streets makes me wish I was back home right now. Great video work. I gotta get home to visit family.
This is probably one of the best bike reviews on CZcams... I dont even like the Harley D Street line, and this was still worth the watch, great review Lemmy!
Cant wait to see the Metric reviews start rolling in.
Not a fan of harley but I love the fact that you are reviewing bikes now! Also loved the sena camera review!
Used a Street 500 during my CMSP course over the weekend. The points about shifting and controls were spot on. I even had to pull off to the side a few times due to several miss-shifts. I thought it was my lack of skill the entire time!
Great review! A few months ago, I had my heart set on getting one of these bad boys for my first bike. Then I test rode it... I completely agree with this review. I couldn't get over how cheap it felt. It handled and had the power but felt cheap. I bought an Iron 883 and couldn't be any happier. I think if you're going to consider the Street you might as well also check out other standard bikes like the FZ-07, Bolt and Iron 883. You get more for your money.
I'm just about to move into getting my first bigger bike, previously having only ridden a 125 as a learner. I think this is definitely the bike for me, I had a test ride yesterday and loved every second of it. I never had to fight the bike, and the bike wasn't fighting me, it just did what I wanted it to and I always felt completely in control. I want a bigger bike with Harley style but also something not too heavy and cumbersome because living in the UK, really most of our riding is stop/start through towns and roundabouts, with the occasional jaunt up and down a motorway. Thanks for this review it really helped me find the right bike for me :)
sound like this bike fits perfect to you. have fun with it! its a great bike!
im thinking of getting this bike. i also have a 125. i have a honda xr 125 and am too looking for a bigger bike. would you say this one is worthit?
This review is excellent, very informative, non-biased, great shots, thanks!\
Lemmy, Love your bike reviews and would love to see more of them, you have a great personality and I really appreciate your honest critique of each bike, would love to see you do a review on a Harley Davidson Breakout and Yamaha's Star Raider S.
Thanks bro, my wife has this bike and your review is spot on! We bought it pre-owned with less than 2,000 miles on it. She feels comfortable with the brakes, it already had a slip on so the sound is awesome but as you stated we definitely have to do something about the foot pegs. All in all, she loves it and feel that it is an excellent 1st or city bike.
I like that you guys give suggested mods, we all know that no bike is perfect off the showroom floor. Seems many of its weak points are common to just about any stock Harley, aside from the shifter (really surprised this bike doesn't have the traditional Harley "clunk" when shifting).
Not normally "does it" but how loud y'all
best bike reviewer on youtube period. the rest of you pretenders watch this dude and go to school.
one of the best, honest, straight to the point reviews i've seen on a motorcycle, the way he talks and explain things and most importantly shows the flaws and what they do it's very good. just no bullshit easy to the point, explain and show. very nice and keep up.
Bless you for this review! I have not seen many reviews where they point out the problem as well as tell what to do to sort it out! All in all really nice and a pleasant review :)
Great review! I had a ride on my first Harley last weekend: a HD Softail Breakout and i am browsing the internet for Harley reviews ever since!
Why no protective clothing btw?
*Zilla, you bring up some very interesting points that we as Harley people can't abide by or give our endorsement either, we appreciate your candor in helping the unsuspecting riders.* *We can't believe being a Harley rider that Harley Davidson would put out a bike with so many issues...We ran away from even considering it!*
I just took my msf course this weekend and we used street 500s. I'm a sport bike guy but these bikes definitely make me second guess my first bike. It's a bit of a pain to get my feet up because I'm 6'3" but they were a blast to ride.
I would love to see an updated 2017 review of this bike. I'm deciding between this and the 883 iron.
Richard S same here
883 is a way better bike. The Street 750 is all around shittier. Plasticy shit everywhere. Not a durable engine, either.
Hi lemmy love from India.Your review is top notch.Excellent,honest & erudite review about HD street 750.Damn your so good.
Love the reviews, keep em coming. Completely agree with many key points such as the liquid cooling for a city bike. I've had to filter on Kelly/Schuylkill so many times due to my HD '72 getting hot in the gridlock. Something to remember for those interested in commuting by bike in cities like Philly.
Great review by Lemmy! loved his commentary and perspective!
great review mate !
I just bought a 2019, I love it.
I have this bike and the comments about the front brake are absolutely spot on. I'd say both the front and rear require the rider to engage them much, much further than you'd be comfortable with before you get any bite.
Fabulous review. The good, the bad, and practical recommendations. I agree with a previous commenter. I'd love to share a beer with you, Lemmy. How about a Revzilla moto cafe? That would be an awesome addition to South Philly.
Bad brakes on a Harley? Who would have thought?
yellowbusguy my sporster has amazing brakes
Jar of Smegma harley sales a brand, not performance
Lol it doesn't have bad breaks. It's just a 300lbs dude riding a starter bike.
@@richardwaldron222 you think so? I'm a beginner and the worst thing I could think of are weak brakes lol
@@biggideal I am about 220lbs and rode this bike at my beginner class. I felt like the brakes were adequate. My girl's Vulcan S out brakes it though, for what its worth. So does every sport bike out there, including the beginner friendly ones like the ninja 400 or r3.
Great presentation
Lemmy you Rock ! These reviews are awesome, well put together, and very in depth of truthful information.
Thank you for all your hard work. 👍👍
Great review. As a bigger guy myself I really appreciate this. Most bike reviews are from someone who is 5ft 6 and 160lbs. I'm 6ft3 and 258 lbs.
Oddly enough this is what I took my MSF course on. The 500 that is.
Lemmy is such a wonderful presenter
Hey Lenny, thanks for wearing our gear on your product reviews. Means a lot to me and us. Love, McGoo
Awesome to see a review of a guy my size, riding the bike I’m interested in! Thanks for doing this one man
Great Review! The bike however wreaks of cheap build quality, which is fine, if it were cheap.
I'm gonna be honest here, i wasn't gonna even watch this video, then i saw Lemmy on the thumbnail
***** you get extra brownie points for also telling us how to fix the issues you've found, most reviewers just tell you it has bad brakes, which kinda means it's a bad bike, when $50 could turn it into a great bike.
PLEASE do more Harley reviews. Your reviews are great. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a VRSC Night Rod review. I know you have a Muscle review and it'd be great if you share your thoughts on between the two.
I absolutely love these reviews. Please do more of them.
Top drawer stuff- thorough, well paced, and entertaining. Great review!
This bike look fun as hell
Wow, what a great reviewer. I got a real feel for what the bike is about. Hard to find reviews like that.
At about 6'2"-ish I couldn't even test ride that thing. I was crushed up like a pretzel. I'm truly impressed you where able to ride it at all!
Review is crazy good, how did you guys capture audio while riding Sena BlueTooth pack?
MotoMaryland You nailed it, we used the Sena GP10 Bluetooth Back on a GoPro Hero3+ paired up to a Sena 20S. So far it's worked out really well!
Lemmy you are so fucking cool!
Stop being a gay white knight mangina and man up.
Thanks Lemmy for an awesome and honest review!
Finally, a great analysis. Hard to find these days
Don't care for the bike , But great review as always, great job
Your reviews are better then that Norman reedus show!
Good review. Revzilla and Lemmy gave the bike a top notch demo. Production quality was excellent and Lemmy was clear and thorough.
Let me start by prefacing that I am a Harley guy and always will be. I have a 2009 Street Glide and just bought one of these as well. The big bikes are amazing for long trips because they are beyond comfortable. But ripping around a major city can suck. The air-cooled engine gets so hot and it's harder to whip in and out of traffic. Try this thing and you will see it is the most fun thing to play on. If you are a new rider this handles beyond anything. Great review Lemmy and amazingly bang on.
front brake is inexcusable.
molon labe it looks like it’s missing a rotor and a set of calipers🙄
I laughed at that intro wave
Great review, I just bought a 2015 Street 750. It was a late production bike. My experience with this bike is a little different. I have had no problem with the shifting. Also, I feel like the front brake is Okay well capable of locking the front wheel up. Seems to feel okay to me. I agree that the engine is great. I also agree that the mirrors suck ass. I am 5 foot 11 and do not feel cramped. Your review helped me decide to try this bike out. My Harley dealer let me test a Street 750 before I bought one. I really like this bike and I have been riding since 1978. I have had some real shitty bikes and I have had some really good bikes. This bike is one of the better for sure. Thanks Lemmy.
Glad I opened up the video. Lemmy's review was top notch. Fast moving pace. Real nice camera and sound work. But most of all great content. I'd like to turn hi loose on a few bikes and Scooters I have been considering :)
You are politically honest, dig your style my man. Excellent reviews in my opinion. What do you think of the new Bonnies?
William McDonell Like ***** mentioned, so far I have racked up 73,000 miles on my personal Bonneville T-100. While I have sentimental attachment to it, I am not blind to her flaws. I have spent time on all of the 865cc bikes in Triumph's lineup and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Are you looking for a T-100 or a mag wheel Bonnie? Between the two the mag-wheel Bonnie is a bit more fun and flickable with it's 17" rubber up front. I built one out for a friend once with an updated suspension, exhaust, fuel map, flat track bars, CRG mirrors, and a custom seat. The thing handled better than the T-100 or Thruxton and was a blast to rip around on. Made it hard to go back to my T-100. That being said, the T-100 gives you a bit more of a classic styling.
Both versions are heavy, weighing in around 500 pounds. I like the engine for what it is, a even keeled little twin that makes about 60 ponies at the rear wheel. While it's fun to rip around on and has a really linear power curve, it's not going to be the fastest bike out there. Also, the fact that it's air cooled makes it a pain in the ass when sitting in traffic. Currently residing in Philly, I often miss living in LA where I could lane split freely.
If you have any specific questions I can answer for you, don't hesitate to ask.
Came to the comments to see people talking about the push ups
Best bike review I've seen on this bike. I started with an 883 and upgraded to a street bob last year but I always wonder about having a lighter bike. I miss the sporty sometimes but the Dyna is more comfortable and powerful. Thanks Lemmy you are really good at what you do!
I am riding the bike for last 04 months, I agree with your review. With introduction if ABS, breaking has improved significantly.
6 months later, I pulled the trigger. As a new rider I wanted to buy a bike that I felt comfortable on, but there is definitely a stigma that comes with lower CCs. Thanks for proving you don't need the biggest, baddest bike to have fun and look cool doing it. Thanks Lemmy!
+Mark Graziano Would you recommend it for a new rider like myself that has no experience other than messing around in the woods on a 250 dirt bike with some street riding? I'm 5'10", 180lb, and commute from princeton NJ to rutgers univ for classes which is approx 20 miles, 40 miles total there and back. Will be doing lots of riding through college avenue, which is a very urban area
Absolutely. I got my confidence riding a lot faster than I expected.
Looks like the brakes in this bike are totally shitty and the company is not going to issue a recall inspite of the customers getting into accidents because of the manufacturing defect. In India the customers are protesting and are trying to get the buyers to sign petitions ( www.change.org/p/vikram-pahwa-md-h-d-india-change-we-demand-h-d-street-750-faulty-brakes ) as the company is not responding.
Great review! Entertaining and informative. For me after the poor brakes the fuel cap disappoints me the most about the Street 750. I was very excited about the motorcycle before I saw it in person last year. Hopefully they will make some improvements in the next year or two.
Seems like a bike I would definitely like. Comfy, yet powerful. Aside from the mentioned shortcomings, another thing I would add is a better wind protection.
