Jaw-Dropping Power and Performance

A Harley isn’t a Harley without some major power and performance. Powering this bike’s gut-punch acceleration and bone-chilling top speed is the reinvented 750 cc High Output Revolution X™ motor. By harnessing a 12:1 compression ratio, the engineers were able to achieve a 9,000 rpm redline, so you’ll never lack for power when you need to pass or fly up a hill. And because the engine gets more power out of the same amount of fuel, it’s more efficient, too.

With all that power, you need control in the form of a finely-tuned suspension. The rear suspension offers a piggyback reservoir system, while up front, the 43mm inverted front fork is responsive and vibration-dampening. To improve the cornering, the designers shifted the posture up slightly to allow for up to 40 degrees of lean into corners. Even the most winding backroad won’t give a challenge to this bike.

High-Octane Style

With the 2017 Street Rod, even at a total standstill, this bike looks like it’s meant to go fast. That’s thanks to the blacked out Dark Custom™ design that just screams “back off.” Everything from the seat and the drag style handlebars down to the glossy black wheels is black, giving an aggressive look. Up front, a Daymaker Projector LED headlight cuts a clean path on the darkest roads thanks to its daylight bright LED technology. Supplying that deafening Harley-Davidson growl is the Screamin’ Eagle® Buckshot Exhaust. In addition to all the major, obvious features, the Dark Custom™ package also features continuous small details that attract the eye, such as glossy black fuel tank trim, a Dark Custom™ medallion, and even blacked out axle nut covers. This is one of the toughest looking bikes Harley-Davidson has ever produced, and that’s saying something considering their product catalog.

Harley-Davidson® Ownership

Harley-Davidson has been making some of the most iconic motorcycles in the country for over a century. They’ve survived this long by producing motorcycles of superior quality, with the best features, and the most stunning design. Owning a Harley is like belonging to a club. It’s a club of people who understand the value of freedom and independence, and most of all, it’s a club of people who appreciate the undiluted pleasure of riding an extremely fast, extremely cool motorcycle.
