Overview

Introducing the 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod, a fierce contender in the custom-cruiser category that beautifully blends iconic Harley styling with modern performance. With a price tag starting at $8,699, this motorcycle captures the essence of freedom and individuality that Harley-Davidson is renowned for. Designed for urban explorers and weekend warriors alike, the Street Rod is perfect for riders who crave a dynamic, spirited ride without sacrificing the classic cruiser aesthetic. Its aggressive stance, muscular design, and vibrant color options—ranging from Vivid Black to Electric Blue—ensure you’ll turn heads wherever you roam. At the heart of the Street Rod is its robust 749cc V-twin engine, delivering a thrilling 70 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and an impressive torque of 65 Nm at 4,000 RPM. This liquid-cooled powerhouse is engineered with a 12.0:1 compression ratio and a sophisticated Mikuni Twin Port Fuel Injection system, offering precise throttle response and smooth acceleration. The 6-speed gearbox provides seamless shifts, making the Street Rod a joy to ride in various conditions. With a fuel consumption rate of just 4.5 liters per 100 km (approximately 52.27 mpg), you can enjoy longer rides without constantly worrying about refueling. The bike's lightweight frame (weighing in at 504.9 pounds) and agile handling ensure that navigating city streets or winding backroads is both exhilarating and effortless. The 2018 Street Rod boasts an array of features designed to elevate the riding experience. Its telescopic front fork and twin-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride while maintaining stability and control during cornering. The optional ABS enhances safety by preventing wheel lock-up during hard braking, which is particularly beneficial for urban riding. The 13.2-liter fuel tank is perfectly sized for longer journeys, while the 30.1-inch seat height allows for easy handling and optimal rider comfort. The striking instrument cluster, featuring a digital speedometer and trip computer, ensures that you stay informed without compromising style. **
