Sold my Harley Davidson Street Rod 750

Sold my Street Rod 750 that I was using to commute. Realised I had not ridden it for a year working from home.

Very wise - looks high at the rear..

I fitted a shorter seat which is an inch lower so the pillion looks higher.
A big lump of American iron, it was surprisingly well made (in India) with great attention to detail but some strange design flaws.
It is a funny seating position. My feet never felt right on the pegs and the bars were too low. Quite a harsh ride even on the lowest shock setting.

A couple of years ago, Yamaha and HD among others dropped the price of their new bikes by several thousand dollars and a 14k HD was under 10k so I bought it on a whim. There was a real impact on the second hand market where everything dropped by quite a bit. It has clawed back now. Sold it for just over 9k.

My missus has a street (not the street rod) it’s one of the few bikes that has a low enough seat height for her
It’s a fun bike to ride and looks neat
It’s a real shame that Harley have stopped making them I don’t get it , they stopped making a good entry level cheap Harley and brought out a stupidly expensive electric bike that now one will buy

Scratched that itch xl1200cx bought an ex demo from Southampton Harley 3? Years ago rode it home by the time I got home I realised what a massive mistake I’d made. Slow even with full stage 1, handles like a pissed pig on a roller skate as heavy as a cruise ships anchor yes it looked quite good priced up tuning and making it lighter and then sold it very quickly.
That’s why so many are low miles if you’ve ridden anything Japanese in the last 30 years they make Harley redundant and their new adventure bike do me a favour.🤮
