DARK CUSTOM™ IS MORE THAN JUST A FINE LINE OF MOTORCYCLES. IT’S AN ATTITUDE. AN UNAPOLOGETIC HOMAGE TO OUR PAST. THESE BIKES EMBRACE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT SPURNS THE STATUS QUO AND DEMAND THAT PERFORMANCE AND STYLE ALSO COMES WITH SOUL. Sometimes life demands we conform, but sometimes, it doesn’t. When the crowd beckons you in, you have a choice. You can wave it goodbye and move to the beat of your own drum. You can strip it back, keep it simple and make your own statement. Screw conformity. Tell average to take a hike. You can tell a Dark Custom™ just by looking. The poise. The stance. The stripped-back attitude that looks like its owner has put a thousand spanner hours into it, even though it has only just left the showroom floor. Why use 140 characters when you can say all you need to say with a twist of the throttle? The road doesn’t care about celebrity, about what you did last night, or what you had for lunch. It cares about low-down stripped-back street bikes ridden with purpose and riders who need nothing more than a knowing smile and a nod to say everything. It’s a motorcycle inspired by a generation seeking an alternative. Find out more: www.h-d.com.au/darkcustom

DESIGNED FOR AN ENTIRE NEW GENERATION OF RIDERS AND FEATURING THE ALL-NEW REVOLUTION™ X V-TWIN ENGINE. THIS IS A PURE, AUTHENTIC HARLEY-DAVIDSON® MOTORCYCLE, BUILT WITH SOUL FOR THE BUSY URBAN STREETS.

U RBAN It’s your city. With an all-new Revolution® X engine, a frame and suspension made for quick moves in traffic, the Harley-Davidson Street™ 500 motorcycle is built for those who were born to get around. AU T HE N T I C There’s no substitute for real steel. From the deep, true sound coming from the upswept pipes, to the rich paint on the metal teardrop tank, the new Street™ 500 motorcycle is a true Harley-Davidson®. SOU L Minimalist style. Maximum impact. This is the look that gets the nod of approval. Raw, stripped-down, blacked-out aggression. The new Street™ 500 motorcycle is the latest in the Harley-Davidson® Dark Custom™ line. STREET™ 500 MOTORCYCLE

LET’S RIDE OUR STREETS LIKE THEY’VE NEVER BEEN RIDDEN BEFORE 9

HARLEY-DAVIDSON速

WE STARTED IT, BUT THE CITY STREETS DEFINED IT

The all-new Revolution X™ engine is for the urban world, defined by the city streets. It’s liquid-cooled to maintain peak performance no matter how high the mercury climbs or how long you’re in gridlock. There’s a single overhead cam. Four values per head. And a smooth shifting 6-speed transmission. It all translates to one thing: Instant response to the twist you give the throttle when stop turns to go. Let the cars crawl at their pace. On the Harley-Davidson Street™ motorcycle you travel at yours. The chassis is lean and narrow for easy handling. The seat is low slung. The suspension is tuned for the roughest city streets. You’ve got premium brakes. And a broad handlebar sweep with a skinny front tyre for tight turns and fast moves. One opening in that honking mass of traffic, and you’re gone.

STREET™ 500 MOTORCYCLE

RIDING ON THE CROWDED URBAN STREETS PUTS ITS OWN SET OF DEMANDS ON A MOTORCYCLE ENGINE.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON®

This is the pure, deep-thumping Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine rumble; the kind that hits the ears and reaches all the way to the pit of your stomach. Tuned to perfection in our state-of-the-art sound-testing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Instantly recognised in any corner of the world. Premium Harley-Davidson. There is no other kind. Take a close look at any Harley-Davidson motorcycle you see parked under the neon lights. Premium to the last detail. The Harley-Davidson Street™ 500 motorcycle is no exception to that rule. Steel tank and fenders, paint a mile deep. LED tail light and mini bullet turn signals. Ignition, forks and fuel cap locks. Rock solid belt drive. Painstakingly tight fit and finish. Intuitive hand controls. Because only a motorcycle we’re proud to build is a motorcycle you’ll be proud to park on your curb.

FAC T THE HARL EY- DAV ID SO N ® SO U N D The sound-testing facility in Milwaukee is pushing the possibilities. Inside, 1,400 anti-echo fiberglass wedges cover the walls. There’s a motorcycle sitting dead centre. We start it up and sound technicians in the control booth record it, analyse it and continually adjust the parts to produce precisely the exhaust notes we want. It’s a lot of effort and a major investment, but this is just part of what makes a Harley, a Harley.

KICK UP THE STAND AND DROP INTO THE EMBRACE OF A TRULY AUTHENTIC H-D®

NOT JUST A SOUND. A SIGNATURE. NO-ONE ON YOUR BLOCK WILL MISTAKE THE NOTE COMING FROM THE UPSWEPT EXHAUST ON THE NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET™ MOTORCYCLE.

STREET™ 500 MOTORCYCLE

HARLEY-DAVIDSON速

WHEN THE STREET IS WHERE YOU LIVE, IT STARTS TO LIVE IN YOU. TRUE OF A RIDER. TRUE OF A MOTORCYCLE. Dark is in the detail: Blacked-out engine covers. Black pull back handlebars. Black fork gaiters and lowers. The first all-black exhaust on a Harley motorcycle since our original café racer motorcycle was roaming the streets in the ‘70s. You’ve also got a café inspired speed screen. A 17 inch front wheel and an aggressive slash on the tail section.

It doesn’t require much explanation. On the Harley-Davidson Street™ motorcycle, one look says it all.

This isn’t something common rolling down the boulevard every day of the week. This is the new Harley-Davidson Street™ motorcycle. This is Dark Custom™ attitude like nothing the world’s ever seen before. It is our heart, our soul, our reason for being.

BEAUTY TO GRAB THE EYE, POWER TO GRIP THE SOUL 15

STREET™ 500 MOTORCYCLE

This is the look that gets the nod of approval in front of any crowded rider hangout in the world. Raw, stripped-down, blacked-out aggression. Born out of the custom tradition of tearing down a motorcycle to its raw, minimal essence and letting the pure rebellion inherent in the lines of the machine come screaming through.

It even sets your creativity free. This is about what separates you from the masses on the sidewalk.

Ready for you to paint with your attitude and style. There are as many ways to customise it, as there are riders. There are no rules. Let everyone else be one of the crowd.

01 FIT A good fit is like your favourite pair of jeans - the better you fit your motorcycle, the better the ride.

But all riders will agree on this: It changes everything. To find out more about test riding the new Street™ 500, head to www.h-d.com.au/testthestreet.
