2006 Harley Davidson Street Rod Street Ride – Motorbike Bicycle
2006 Harley-Davidson Street Rod Street Ride – Motorbike Bicycle
However, this sport bike riders will bike as a failure and just seeing another example of the inability of the Harley to build a proper sports bike. I? Well, I’m all f @ c & ed about it. I love all motorcycles (ok, so I hate the little helicopter fan and I really “motor sport”) and I will happily Streetrod one in the (imaginary) I have been stable bike.Harley is quick to point out that Streetrod not intended to be a “motor sport” is. Think of it as a man who reveals a rather healthy dose of style mixture of basic techniques.So, I urge you my impressions dynamic destination with a grain of salt to take. I ride a bike as planned and it worked fine.

Together with the FX and Sportster series “Sports” from motorcycles, marked deviations bit of bread and butter Streetrod Harley “car” product line. All three models offer a reasonable driving position and personality (but still long and difficult) is willing and it is not surprising that all three of my favorite Harley bike. However, they still “Harley” and this fact is clearly concentrated in the more technical introduction to compromise style and related styles such as fork rake 32 ° Streetrod effective, produced by a head of 30 ° steering, rake + 2 Degree Offset (compared with the far-fetched -38 ° sweep effectively put VROD of the neck 34 degrees, 4 ° clamps three), which is needed to allow space between the “style” wheels 19 “front and radiator placement of a funky style. When we asked why they did not just switch to 17″ wheels for better gaming, geometry and travel, he replied: “. Because no wrong,” different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Recognized for their honor, Harley, the importance of good brakes on the construction of quick express men, so they went to Brembo, in order to assist with 4-piston calipers new Harley emblem. Brake calipers clamping a number of non-floating 300mm rotors and the bike is equipped with stainless steel braided brake lines and high performance pads.
It’s a good thing Harley upgraded brakes, because the motorcycle driven by aggressive 650Lb generated a lot of energy. On the road I found the brakes are strong enough to handle what I can give. But the bite pads are not aggressive in the city, riders want the extra traction for reducing substances of concern when approaching intersections, so they do not lock-up and slid forward. The increase in brake especially annoying when the rest of the line Harley-products, which stripped the brake tuning, that the application offers a gentle and friendly response costs and overall braking performance compared with that in mind. Overall I really like the new brakes and at the end of the day, kicking aggressive initial bite into the back of the head, because I realized they adapt.
Revised suspension geometry adapted to the new set of non-adjustable 43mm upside down forks compliment and relocation of more preload in the rear shocks.The chassis was revised to create a higher ground clearance and if you couple that with the exhaust and re-position footpegs, you get more ground clearance than a VROD. According to Harley, now VRSCR can lean more than 40 degrees, which is not bad for a bike “custom” style.
This Streetrod revised chassis is quite rigid and react. But planning a wheelbase luxury liner and 19 “wheels on tight bends and rapid direction changes, a bit slower than they need to do to become that also means 32 ° effective rake, the front contact patch is still far away, so that the tire-disabled majority of feedback time, it does not matter, but as I did at the limits of the bike make the effort with a newly developed approach to land clearance, I see, talk a little bit and feel will be the end of the front tires .. But in the normal (or slightly faster) speed bike behaves beautiful, solid and planted feeling. extra poundage is really helpful in this case and does not prevent Streetrod removed response to input from the driver.
The new seating position strikes a good balance between sport and standards, offer excellent control of the bike limit on probing. However, the revised framework is still long and low, which means a little too tight between the seat and the lower frame rail. Thus, the pin about an inch higher than the ideal height for the convenience of man. Rods are placed correctly and has a nice neutral arm position that never seemed to tire, while the new thin handle to provide a comfortable place to hang-on.
The new chair is a bit too soft but comfortable enough for short trips, but riders began to pressure points after one or two hours to develop. Towards the end of my long test drive, you are just as likely to see me standing multi-style, how to find you, I sit like a normal road bike riders. Of course this is easy to fix, and chairs (fixed / large) was revised to allow for more leg room as an added bonus. Sorted by seat and leg space Streetrod problem will be better prepared to defeat the new capital 5Gal them. Gas tank, to be good for about 180 miles between stops shown. (The 3.7Gal VROD a small tank that only has about 110 miles.)
When driven aggressively, the bike is the biggest problem is that it is too long and heavy. When I first heard about Streetrod, I thought that was a better sitting position, increased ground clearance, less sweeping, more horsepower and weighs less than one VROD. Unfortunately, only three out of five my assumption is correct, because the performance is almost the same and Streetrod actually 20 pounds heavier than a VROD, mainly thanks to a strong fork and three trees. When driving the canyon roads, the Streetrod a lot of fun, but if you start to reverse, the effect is similar to a freight train. It is so controlled as long as you do not expect to go charging with corner radii decrease downhill hard on the brakes as he tried to drive out some squid in the sport bike. Keep a cool head and you can make good time on Streetrod, not only expect it to break up a deal like Gap XB-9s.
