The “New” Steet Rod
ow’s it going Full Throttle readers, Zach White here to give you the latest and greatest info from St. Charles Harley-Davidson. Hope you enjoy this article and looking forward to many more! The weather has brought some rain to the area but over all its been a great start to the riding season. Bike nights have had to be rescheduled but once the rain stopped they have been a huge hit. Thank you all that have come out and enjoyed them. Looking forward to this riding season and may it be the best one for you all as well. This month I’m going to talk about one of the newest motorcycles that Harley-Davidson has introduced. This is the all New Harley-Davidson Street Rod! Harley came out in 2015 with the 500 & 750 Street models. At first I was unsure on the style and ride of this new model. That was until this year when the “Street Rod” made its appearance. This bike looks and feels completely different from the basic models and the ride will prove that to you. This bike was built for the Urban lifestyle and ready to hit all the streets with the rider in mind. With a seat height just over 30” getting into some curvy roads will show you just how great this new Harley-Davidson is. You get three great color options available in Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim (which is my favorite) & Olive gold. The heart of the bike and what gives you the ability to split thru traffic and accelerate from stop light to stop light or to the next curve in the road is the all new High Output Revolution X engine. This motor red lines at an amazing 9,000 rpm so don’t hesitate to open it up and see what it really has to offer! The drag bars and moving the forward controls back a few inches really gives you the right riding position. Also one of the biggest performance upgrades is the front and rear suspension. The front is now equipped with an aggressive 43mm inverted front end. As for the back you have some amazing piggyback reservoir rear shocks. So with both these great upgrades to the Street Rod you can hit the corner and pull back to the straight away. Also be able to soak up all the wonderful pot holes we all try to avoid on the back roads and city streets as well. All I have to say is what a great improvement from the basic street models and looking forward to whats in the future for this new model release from Harley-Davidson motor company. Come in and check out this all new model release from Harley-Davidson. Also hope to see you at bike night June 1st as we will have the Wall of Death here again. We will also have the Wall of Death the 2nd and 3rd along with some of the biggest aftermarket vendors here to show off the latest new product.
