Harley Davidson Street 750 Review at RevZilla.com 

+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

I really like this reviewer, he knows what he talking about and has great screen presence. Gets the info across real well.

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!

Now, this is one of the best reviews on a motorcycle I ever seen on youtube.

That dude at 0:38 needs to learn how to do a proper pushup!

I've never seen Lemmy before - What a great reviewer. Hope to see more.

This guy gives awesome reviews

I like that Lemmy added the last segment so folks eager to buy a 750 can fix its shortcomings. Good job, great show!

Impressed with the professional quality of this review. Good shots of the city.

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.

I love that you guys are doing motorcycle reviews now. It helps a lot with my search to buy another motorcycle.

That pillion seat backrest is quite neat. We dont have those here!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 :)

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!

I am riding the bike for last 04 months, I agree with your review. With introduction if ABS, breaking has improved significantly.

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.

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!

Lemmy, next time I'm in Philly, I got a beer with your name on it. Great review!

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.

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).

I rewatch Lemmy's reviews simply because I miss him and his way of reviewing motorcycles. God I wish him well wherever he's at

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!

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.

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.

Hi I bought the 2016 Harley Street and had a Vancehines exhaust fitted, the tank painted up using HD black/orange graphics. I've owned several bikes mainly twins and this performs brilliantly...... loads of power through all the gears!! Gear changing is positive, not clunky and feet position straight down (not in air like trad Harley's). Never wanted an oversize trad Harley, so at 5ft 9 and 14stone... this bike is light n easy to manoeuvre, fun naked bike. Good on M-way upto 70mph, no racer of course, but ideal commuter, weekend bike for me. It's loud, turns heads and I'm very pleased with it. Time will tell on build but it does come with 24months warranty, so no worries eh....! Try ride before slagging off, as it rides better than it looks for sure... AND it feels like a bad ass Harley to boot!!! Enjoy

Lemmy is the man when it comes to reviewing motorcycles, Good job RevZilla.

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.

Probably one of the best reviewers I've ever watched.

Street 750 is a great bike, i have owned it for 3 months, rode more than 1500 km and it worked perfectly. The only problem is when i drive in the city it's overheat very weak, you can easily fell the heat burn through your legs, and the second seat is a nightmare for those who ride with you.

I just bought a 2019, I love it.

I grew up in NH and come back yearly to visit family. I rented a 750 yesterday in Laconia and put 256 miles on it. Overall? A fun bike. Torquey engine and very maneuverable, with very easy shifting. I wasn't a fan of the suspension, and it was a little small and cramped. I also wish it had more than just a speedometer. It made it just over 200 miles before it needed gas, and did not need to shift much on the back roads we took. We rode north to the Mt. Washington area and back down the Kancamangus Hwy. Belt drive and more power than a Sportster 883...a nice proposition for all kinds of people. I hope they sell well.

best bike reviewer on youtube period. the rest of you pretenders watch this dude and go to school.

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.

Great review! This was actually a bike I was considering before I ended up going with my FZ8. Those brakes and the shifting are what took it out of the running for me.

Great review Lenny! I have ridden her just over 6000 km in 9 months and she is the best bike on Indian roads. If only she would announce her approach (loud exhaust sound) she would be perfect.

This is probably one of the best bike reviews on RU-vid... 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.

This is an excellent around town and occasionally highway bike. I bought a used one, it was too good of a deal to pass up and thought about reselling right away for an easy 700-1000 dollar profit but decided to keep it for a commuter bike. Id recommend putting a slip-on exhaust though.

Not a fan of harley but I love the fact that you are reviewing bikes now! Also loved the sena camera review!

I agree with most of what he said. This is my first Harley(I'm the original owner purchased with 83 miles on it) - I went from Kawi to a Harley & the first thing I noticed was the breaks & the clutch. The mirrors not so much I guess because I'm short but I have found the right position where I can see behind me. It does have a lot a power and I do ride a lot in the city and the handling is a lot better than my Kawi. The seat not so much usually after 60 miles or so I'm ready for a stop. I have learned that there are not a lot accessories for this bike and what you do find is kinda expensive.( I'm wanting to install LED lights and it's a pain in the rear to get to battery). I got a good deal on this bike and that is the main reason why I went with a Harley. So far I'm glad I did.

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!

*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!*

Another awesome review. You guys are knocking it out of the park! Well done.

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.

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.

Lemmy, you're making me spend more time watching RevZilla RU-vid 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 RU-vid videos.

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!

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 would love to see an updated 2017 review of this bike. I'm deciding between this and the 883 iron.

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.

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!

Revzilla reviews are the best. Perfect amount of time, with the perfect amount of information. Great job, Lemmy!

Lemmy is such a wonderful presenter

Dude, Revzilla seriously has the most technical, understandable, and well laid out reviews on the entire internet. My biggest gripe is that they don't do many sport or supersport bikes at all, I wish I could get such a comprehensive review of the bikes I'm into instead of the cruiser folks getting all the glory.

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.

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.

Lemmy you are so fucking cool!

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!

This review is excellent, very informative, non-biased, great shots, thanks!\

I rode a Street 500 for my MSF course, I am 6'1" and 275, there was no problem with the get-up and go, but I had to sit on the rear seat to ride it and even then my knees were way high. Also, with size 13 feet the foot placement was bad. I had to basically just keep the front of my foot on the pegs or it was hopeless. It was a decent bike, a big improvement over the little 250s, and one member of our class actually bought the 750 one the following Monday. I had not ridden in over 35 years and bought a used '08 Ultra Classic before the course. Riding the street convinced me I made the right choice. I ride mostly in the city also.

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?

Been eagerly waiting for your thoughts on this bike since I recently got one and it is my first. Gotta say that most of what you mentioned mirrored my thoughts, it's a very lovable, dependable bike with a couple things to improve but I don't care because i use it as a daily commuter now with intentions to pass it down to the next generation in the future, lol, so I'll work on it anyways. I looked into the Kawi and almost got it but I felt it soulless whereas the 750 spoke to me. I actually don't have a complaint on the brakes, they stop when I want them to but everybody seems to hate them, I'll do the mods you mention and I bet I'll be even happier. Had a few miss shifts too but riding position is very comfortable to me. The exhaust, the mirrors, the horn and the rear plastic light assembly are what I have issues with, the designers better redeem themselves for them. Overall I'm very happy with the 750 (and the many praises from random people too) and discovered that I could work on it and give it a nice little modern cafe racer look and feel. Please keep reviewing parts/gear for this model as I feel I'm not the only one wanting to see more. Kudos to your production team and to you Lemmy again, the style keeps getting better and better. In short every time I swing a leg over it I always say "why didn't I do this earlier?" And every time I'm online I tune to Revzilla to see what's new in this awesome motorcycle life.

I'm gonna be honest here, i wasn't gonna even watch this video, then i saw Lemmy on the thumbnail

Awesome to see a review of a guy my size, riding the bike I’m interested in! Thanks for doing this one man

Bad brakes on a Harley? Who would have thought?

Good review. Revzilla and Lemmy gave the bike a top notch demo. Production quality was excellent and Lemmy was clear and thorough.

Oddly enough this is what I took my MSF course on. The 500 that is.

He was riding with blinker on for quite awhile. But he is one damn good reviewer, he took the bike where it's supposed to go. Not like others who go straight to the track.

Great Review! The bike however wreaks of cheap build quality, which is fine, if it were cheap.

Rode the Street 500 for the HD Riding Course (Passed their course this Sunday!) Never rode a motorcycle before, but after the first day of riding, I think the bike's size helped a lot with the learning curve for a new rider like me. I'm tall about 6ft2in and they had a tall seat option on the learner bike and that helped a bit more, but I was still uncomfortable. I'm sure with a tall seat and forward controls it would a be a bit more comfortable, although in reality I'd never ride this, doesn't fit my style or size. All the Cons of the bike you pointed out were what I encountered with while in the course. The front brakes worked fine for me (I'm sure they may have changed them up since it's a learner bike from the repairing), but they taught me I have to use both front and back, maybe for safety reasons. I was in the course with 3 other more "experienced" riders renewing their licenses (they ride sport bikes), and we all agreed the clutch lever was strange: felt that its friction zone was nearly 3/4ths out of the lever, caused me to stall the bike a lot when trying to take off in 1st. Just wanted to throw in my opinion of a brand new rider's experience with it. All in all, I'm pumped to be a rider now and saving for my first bike!

Hi lemmy love from India.Your review is top notch.Excellent,honest & erudite review about HD street 750.Damn your so good.

This guy is the man when it comes to bikes reviews

This bike look fun as hell

I am a new rider and recently purchased my 883 Iron and I depend on my shift change and i depend on my mirrors way more then in a car. I love my bike and if you take care of her she will take care of you.

I laughed at that intro wave

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!

You are politically honest, dig your style my man. Excellent reviews in my opinion. What do you think of the new Bonnies?

Good review. I think they should have let the designer of the fuel tank in on what the rest of the bike was going to look like. Can we get a Harley that does not have an air filter just hanging off the side of the motor? Back in 1983 Honda built the VT500FT Ascot looks about the same to me.

front brake is inexcusable.

This review helped me decide to buy this bike..This bike is awsome!!!!I got the 2017 model, the braking and shifting have been fixed=)

Top drawer stuff- thorough, well paced, and entertaining. Great review!

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.

Don't care for the bike , But great review as always, great job

After more than 30 yrs of riding UJM's and sport tourers, I've come to a place where I'm looking at cruiser style bikes, although the Street appears to be closer to a UJM...never thought I would consider parking a HD in my garage, but I have to look to be sure. Great review, thanks for the insight.

Came to the comments to see people talking about the push ups

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 :)

Review is crazy good, how did you guys capture audio while riding Sena BlueTooth pack?

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!!!

Your reviews are better then that Norman reedus show!

That is the most spot on review I have ever seen. I borrowed a new street 500 from a friend and I had so much fun on July 4th. It is nimble and cool. The girls were giggling and screaming and squeezing me tight. Definitely cool for urban traffic. Rock on cool cat, stay Awesome. M. ;)

Great presentation

Wow, what a great reviewer. I got a real feel for what the bike is about. Hard to find reviews like that.

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.

This review inspired me to purchase a Street 750 2016 some months back. After putting 4,000 miles on it I can concur the same. The front brake needs to be swapped like yesterday, the suspension is mushy and I swapped it to progressive, the headlight was a bit small so I upgraded that. I threw some clubman bars on it because the stock ones look like a BMX bike handle bar. I tuned it with the FP3, put on a V02 intake. The rear fender like most bikes is ugly and I deleted it entirely, replaced with a tuffside seat and aftermarket brake lights. I can say the street is really fun for its size. But for anyone looking to buy this bike you grow out of it pretty quick. I'm upgrading to a sportster now, though my street 750 has been a blast it's time to go bigger. I am also disappointed in the stock look of the rear, they should of gone with a traditional Harley rear skirt instead of whatever the hell that short cut metal was they slapped on it.

great review mate !

I don't even like Harleys but I'm watching all these reviews because they're so entertaining and informative.
