Harley-Davidson launches Street Rod at Rs 5.86 lakh

Harley-Davidson India today launched a new mid-level racing bike Street Rod, at Rs 5.86 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

The new bike has more muscular middleweight and offers better performance and handling along with more aggressive riding position and is available for booking from today, the company said in a statement.

The Street Rod, grown from the Street platform, is mounted on a 750 V-twin engine offering more peak power and torque with an extended rev range. Marketing director Pallavi Singh said the Harley- Davidson Street Rod is built to appeal a specific demographic in this space.
