BirdsandBooze Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks RSD+1. 1000PS of Austria took it to 180kmh with nothing falling off either. Performance and weight are respectable for such a bike and as RSD says, the information is out there. Also, HD stipulate that USA and Canada market bikes are manufactured in York, Pennsylvania NOT India and this info has been posted on this thread and yet some choose to ignore this fact. Why? I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder. if you call assembly of parts coming from India as manufacturing, then yes it is manufactured in USA Harley is making a good job to fool people i guess Do you ever think if they say assembly of parts in USA, can they sell it for Made in USA conscious Muricans? Besides, you were the one comparing Harley with Honda and you were teh one posting wrong specs so please put those juicy bones to your mouth Bobby.

seedy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Just checked HD Canada website - 750 Street not even listed. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcat Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 You both are aware you compare two completely different machines...??? It's like comparing a farming tractor with a Ferarri, on paper the amount of horsepower looks pretty similar with the exception that the Ferarri has to do more than twice the rpm to get at max horsepower, and the tractor wins on the amount of torque.... Still riding a Ferarri at maximum performance will probably scare the shit out of a average person, which maximum performance on a farming tractor is something around 60km/h. The Harley-Davidson Street 750 is a cruiser, and the Honda CBR500R is a wannabe sportsbike (and not get me wrong it's sporty).... I always had a problem with people buying a Harley and trying to justify the purchase by trying to convince that the motorcycle could actual put some performance on the tarmac... Sorry, I have a Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200 and enjoy to ride it, but I would never compare the 1200cc V-twin with a Ducati 1198 that makes me just laugh... ...well,one can't have both... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsandBooze Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 LL, the article in CW clearly states that the USA and Canada bikes are manufactured and not just assembled in the USA. It states that Harley has built a manufacturing line. If you have read that on this thread yet still say they are all assembled from parts from the India factory you are arguing for arguments sake. If you deliberately post misleading facts expect to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you deliberately post misleading facts expect to be corrected. this is what Harley tells you. To make these bikes price competitive, of course they will bring the parts from India to USA and assemble it. Otherwise one bike two different prices. if they open another production line in USA for the same engine and transmission, it does not make any sense in terms of business and it does not make any sense to open a factory in India as well. If you think on business way, you will understand what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder. I expect that is a major selling point "Parts don't drop off at 180kph at least on the first day". Call me old fashioned but I like my Italian bikes made in Italy, American bikes - America and Jap bikes - Japan. The Dyno chart is very strange. Shows the BHP in a straight vertical line with no drop off. Either this bike has tons more BHP or it's a lie. All Dyno charts look like an upside down "J".

seedy Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Seedy, Hey Man you admitted you had a Goldwing. That's the biggest pile of krap ever. 555 Could not pass it up. An American guy from Utah was riding up the Dempster highway to Inuvik. Had a heart attack and died. Of course, the bike fell over, cam belt came off, and the valves in the RH cylinder hit the piston. Sat at the garage at the Dempster corner for 2 years, waiting for insurance and the will to be done. In the end, no one wanted to come and get it, or pay for it to be shipped. Bought it for $300 bucks - 9000 Baht. Bought new valves, keepers, retainers and a cam belt, fixed it, some TLC and sold it for $3500.00 Nice winter project.
