Re: Harley Davidson Street 750 Ridden and Reviewed

By my calculations - the bike has around 49bhp=50PS which is deduced from the peak torque and rpm figure.
The equation is bhp = T x rpm/5252
Where T is torque, rpm is engine speed, and 5252 is a constant.

Conditions :
Anytime rpm is less than 5252, bhp < T
Anytime rpm is greater than 5252, bhp > T
Anytime rpm equals 5252, bhp = T

Street 750 is a beauty to ride on the highways . Very good control and road grip . Since the bike was in run in period , did not cross more than 100.
In City traffic below 40KMPH , you can feel its weight and it gets very hot . Riding shoes /shoes is a must .
Overall a very good Harley .

Re: Harley Davidson Street 750 Ridden and Reviewed

I had hired the bike for a day here in Bangalore and took it on a 120 km trip on the highway. It was an amazing ride.

I also rode it across the city in peak traffic. The heat from the engine was pretty intense when you're in inching forward traffic or at signals but once you start moving it's alright.

After 2 hours of the city ride I started developing a cramping pain in my left hip joint. I suspect this was due to having to crawl in the traffic using my legs a lot, since on the highway ride I had no pain absolutely.

Maybe there's an issue with my low speed riding technique and the position of the foot pegs. Could the tallboy seat from Harley reduce the discomfort in the city for someone of my height (5'11") ? Have any of you street 750 owners upgraded the seat to OEM or third party options?

Folks,Which engine is super - V-Twin or Parallel-TwinHow do we differenciate between the two, in terms of power/torque/efficiency and performance...cheers--mandar

Re: Harley Davidson Street 750 Ridden and Reviewed

49bhp must be power available at peak torque rpm. Since torque on this machine does not taper off very sharply at least till 6000rpm , it would be putting out 56-60 bhp.
Also it puts out about 1bhp more than 883 on rear wheel in stock .
883 puts out almost same power but it does that at much lesser rpm.
Also 883 gets a massive advantage in stage 1 ( filter+ exhaust+ remap) , but street being already a rev happy and modern motor gains only a few ponies at the top end .
