Harley-Davidson’s new Street 750 and Street 500 motorcycles will be produced in Kansas City and India.
The new street bikes are the first motorcycles that Harley-Davidson has designed from scratch in 13 years. The company’s last newly designed motorcycle was the V-Rod, which is produced in Kansas City. The plant also produces the Dyna and Sportster models.
Fitted with liquid-cooled Revolution X power trains, the motorcycles are agile and designed for the stop-and-go traffic of urban environments. The power train is placed on a narrow chassis, with a super low seat height, new suspension and broad handlebar sweep to gain more maneuverability.
The motorcycles will be sold around the globe. The U.S. models will be produced in Kansas City. For the first time ever, the international models will be completely constructed in Bawal, India, at a plant Harley-Davidson opened in 2011.
