Just seen that HD had some stonking pcp deals on the above models -

(keeping options open if i need to change bikes in a hurry)

Sadly the deal is over now, but i guess they'll repeat it at some stage

Question is are the above models Street & Street rod, the lepers of the family?

Most Harleys ive seen have always been air cooled, barking banshees .

Are these castrated cousins for emissions & euro friendly purposes

but bear no real resemblance to there air cooled brothers?


Anyone ridden one ? what are they like noise (exhaust) handling etc
 
Tried both about a year ago, the Street felt like a cheap plastic tin pot, and brakes where not the best, sitting position was weird, I am 6ft 2, then a week later tried the newer street rod, this rode and felt a lot better it just seemed better in all aspects looks and brakes and build quality, however, I doubt they would last if you would use it through harsh winters etc, if it was me get an old xl1200r sportster roadster, just a way better bike for the price.
 
Built in India to a "price" - the Street Rod seem to have a bit of a following in the Flat Track/Ice Racing circles.....
 
Don't be too hasty Martin, lets see what Sunday and a few hours with the toolkit can reveal before you go out spending thousands !!!

.......With any luck, you won't need to.
