Unveiled this week at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy, the new Harley-Davidson Street 500 and Street 750 ride on the first new chassis to roll out of Milwaukee in bar-mitzvah years. Which seems about right, as they're not designed for the old man on the highway; they're for younger customers for use in the city.
The Street series is powered by a new Revolution X engine (a smaller version of the water-cooled engine co-designed with Porsche) in a 60-degree V-twin configuration with four-valve cylinder heads and available in 494 and 749 cc displacements. Engine size aside, all other specs are the same between the two models: a six-speed transmission, 2-into-1 exhaust, disc brakes, 2-passenger seat, etc...
In short, the Street series is a cafe racer from a company known for cruisers and choppers. And with a price range of $6,700-$7,500, they're more affordable than the traditional Harley, too.
