BEER?
Lots of people say the channel has helped them in some way, be it the "How To" videos (mostly,) or other random videos. People are always saying they'd love to buy me a beer. I love beer. If you're one of those people, feel free to buy me a beer! :)

I won one during this years Sturgis rally. Wasn’t sure I would keep it at first then found out it’s a fun little bike to ride the black hills canyons.
+Cred for not glossing over or even cutting out the can't find neutral issue.
H-D needs to drop a liter engine (who wants to ride a toned down V-rod engine after all?) into that frame, sort out the odd ball foot peg/shifter set up, then Profit! :)
with the upcoming streetfighter, I want to see a sport-bike styled version with a full fairing.
I did the MSF course on the Street 500 at Alligator Alley HD in Sunrise, FL. GREAT crew and a decent bike for learning. It's a very light, nimble bike with awesome ground clearance.
I bought the street rod and added a tuffside rear fender eliminator kit and tuffside super tall boy seat, and speed merchant slip on and that transformed this bike into an awesome sounding and very comfortable rider for my 6 ft frame . It looks really great too. I have no problems finding neutral may be just the one you drove the foot controls and clutch are very adjustable too.
Just signed the papers on this bike today. Didn't felt cramped on the bike and I was able to find the neutral
How tall are you?
@@judekiv 5"10"
Bought one of these last August. Went from a 2012 ninja 1,000 to this because I wanted something different and really wanted a Harley but not a full blown cruiser. After having it for a short season and just getting into riding season again now I honestly love it. It keeps up with all my buddies 600s sport bikes for a good bit. I absolutely love it and I'm 6'2" feel comfortable on it. Very impressed with it. Great bike. Oh, as for neutral being hard to find.. it is lol but the more you ride it the easier it gets to grab neutral.
After all these Harley reviews I'd be really curious to see you review some other brands, Indian, Yamaha, Maybe some Euro Brands.
Would be really cool to get our input on it after the Harleys
I'm sure Blockhead would love to be able to cross the pond and knock out as many reviews as possible. It would be easier for him there cause here he would pretty much have to do a scavenger hunt to find a lot of those brands. If you have connections that can make it make financial sense I believe he would but I only know him from watching his videos. I do not know how well a block would fly lol. I know I have never flown.
I tested one of these a few weeks ago. I'm 5'8" and was cramped as well. The riding position requires a little bit of flexibility in order to handle it for long periods of time. That being said, for a little bit of around town gooning, it's perfect.
Neutral gets a lot easier to find once the bike has about 1,000 miles on it. It also gets noticeably more powerful.
Legend has it that blockhead is still trying to find neutral. But seriously love your content, I’m thinking about picking one of these up and modifying it club style.
I believe the XG750 has the foot pegs an inch or two more forward which might have solved the cramped position. Looking to buy one this weekend.
Great info, thank you for the review. I was considering this bike for my wife. I don’t want her to fight for neutral, nor burn herself on exhaust.
My son wants this one or the 883, tough choice...
What did you guys end up going with? I'm having the same issue
Personally I went with the 883, the turn signals are easier to reach, it feels like better quality, the clutch feels better and the bike sounds fantastic with a simple slip on exhaust.
Still can't believe they quit making the Low Rider S after just 2 years
#CollectorsItem :P
BLOCKHEAD howdy. So is the fuel injected 2002 deuce ✌😎
When I first got my sportster I couldn’t find neutral unless I bumped it down from second. After 1,000 miles it would shift into neutral from 1st without a problem every time.
Thanks for the review dude - completely hit the nail on the head with my own concerns about the bike when I just sat on it in a showroom recently here in London. I love the Look of the bike & I've been riding an FZ09 for the past 3 years (Which I love to pieces), but having seen this Street Rod I saw it as the perfect opportunity to Scratch my Harley Itch at a reasonable price. But I myself - only being 5,6ft - I immediately also felt like I was in a too-Squat'tish-like sitting position for my liking - and the only way I would put my leg down (Flat foot on the ground) was when my calf muscle would be resting against the hot exhaust, ..so that was enough for me to not follow through with an actual test ride (But ever since, I keep looking at videos on the bike and maybe thinking I could just work away my concerns cause I really love its looks, ... but alas after hearing you mention the same issue with the exhaust hitting your leg 'concern' (And your 5.10ft !!) ,... well I'll have to pass. .... Maybe when they release the revised facelift (Exhaust & Pedals lift) version then I will revisit the idea :-)
I'm 5'5 and I am picking up the 2019 version this week from ft Myers and I loved it when I tested it but like you I cant get neutral need more hands on to do it the exhaust doesn't burn me but it's because I have a 16 inch engineer boot on the bike reminds me of a scrambler but from harley I plan on eventually adding some knobbies and taking some trails
Hey... with reference to time log 5min 10sec, I’ve been riding this XG750A for the last 3 years; the neutral still remains elusive between 1st & 2nd! ;)
All Bulls hit aside dude those 2 bike came about because Sportster, s price tags got so high they were losing a segment of customers . Thus the 500 and 750 were designed.... Love your vlogs and love your shirt I got & wear all the time... keep up what your doing
Thanks for the support Ronnie!
I test ride that bike yesterday for a bike for my son and I couldn’t find neutral either it was HARD
Test rode one of these and an Iron. Purchased the Iron. Didn't like the street rod at all
Why not?
I have seen them it's a very nice bike waiting till next sumer to get used one .....I would love the look
I'm gonna a new rider and I'm pretty sure a 2017 xg750 is gonna be my first bike in a few weeks. Haven't been in a Harley since I was a kid with my dad so the "different" controls an foot placement doesn't bother me as much because I don't really know what "normal" is lol
Thanks for the Street500 Review -
...just got Honda Rebel 500
Just bought one of these there are 2 versions of this bike. I am 5 10 and don't have the issues you all have, but my other bike is an Aprilia so I am totally comfortable. There are 3 performance tiers you can upgrade to. The first one is pretty cheap and offers up 10% more power and torque.
Please test ride the new iron on video! I would like to know what your thoughts are!
I took my riding class at Lancaster Harley-Davidson, and rode the baby brother of those - the Street 500. I had a HECK of a time getting neutral in them as well! I always had to come down from 2nd gear. Sometimes had to even rock it a bit if I was already stopped.
Really? I used to own a street and the only problem with mine was the neutral light worked maybe half the time.
I'm not saying I couldn't find neutral from first, but it was way easier from 2nd.
Just bought a 2018 with 2,000k's on it. Rode it home which took 45 minutes. Got off it with a sore lower back. I intend to make it ergonomically correct. Mini ape bars, forward controls and a Corbin seat, so my gf is comfortable. Finding a good forward control set is my current issue. I used to ride a XLH1200 Sportster, again with forward controls and a buckhorn bar. Have been away from riding for 12 years.
I threw Tarazon FWD control set on my 2019 - well made and SO much more comfortable to ride with my mini apes
I just got done with the MSF course at Harley and holy shit finding neutral is so difficult on their street series. I felt like you when I was trying to find neutral.
We had the same problem in our MSF class.
Tank is 3.5gal. And rpm is 8800 and yes neutral can be a bitch it’s best if you let the clutch out just a hair before it grabs it goes right into neutral. People hate on these so much but with a couple mods and a curvy back road it’s such a blast
This bike makes Ducati quake in their boots. Fantastic motor and world class handling.
Hey Blockhead, a note on the hot exhaust. Being a motorcycle instructor, the ready to ride position is with your right foot on the break when you come to a stop, so it's not really a problem if you do it that way. Only becomes a problem when you actually get off of for people that looks to foot paddle at a stop ;-)
So will S&S make a 1200cc/liter version? How does that compare to a Buell 1125? They need a Norton Interstate tank available, although that tank should have had "knee" cut-outs, back when. Awesome ride,--didn't think I'd like the 60s Pontiac Verrado green, but it looks a lot better than a black [ ho...] or a metallic grey [hum ]. Needs a red pin-strip on the tank,imo. I wouldn't mind the rear cylinder's pipe snaked-out onto the other side, even though another nuffler'd add weight
Hey just an fyi the tank is a 3.5 Gallon tank not 4.5
Nate Epperson My bad, thanks for pointing that out
Good vid. Is it good for city rides? You seem to suggest so. But in India, riders avoid it because even the highways pass through towns and it takes about 30-45 min crawling to get out of their bumper to bumper traffic. That will heat up the engine. Will the aftermarket heat deflectors solve the problem?
I've owned mine for over a year. If you ride long highway, highway bars are a must. Although I don't like how it looks with highway bars, on the other end if you take off the bikini fairing and do a fender eliminator it looks awesome. Revs to 9k tops out at 115, neutral gets better over use but is still a bitch. I'm 5'6" and I wish the pegs were like 2-3" more forward. If you get rid of the heat shield your heel is more comfortable but they you will melt the soles of your shoes when you touch the catalytic converter, but I plan on deleting mine and wrapping the pipes.
It's easier to find neutral with the bike turned off.
I find neutral find the pick up sender could have split
I think the street line is a good concept just not executed very well.
Race bread ready. An awesome machine.
Those are a excellent value for the money.
I love this bike street rod I will buy soon inshallah.
Can this HD be Chopped? (Parts availability etc) if so I'm get one just to be a 750 chopper duchebag😊
So... How do you handle the neutral issue on the street??? 🤔🤔🤔 And what about to burn your leg or show with the exhaust... 😣
I see you found the un-announced feature: it will not go into neutral while running. lol
Hd is a work of art.
Hey, just got the 750 street. What mods would you put on it? I saw on your other bikes, you put the fsp and a newer, higher output exhaust and led lights. Would you happen to recommend anything for me?
Would you say it works like a sport bike but looks like a Harley,the controls,does it go as fast as a sports bike?
I own one no lol but it will keep up
Test rode it and it was, meh. It was fun, and sporty. The mid controls were easier to use than a typical sport bike with the rear. Hated the tiny footpegs! Liked the lean angle.
:( I loved the old intro
A lot of the problems people have with this are not a problem for me at all lol. I never use neutral unless I'm parking. And I don't ever put my right foot down so I don't need to worry bout burnin my leg. And I'm 5'7" and like 140lbs so I fit just fine on it.
For a starter would u prefer this bike or the 883?
Starter? Neither
I’m 6’4”, I realize I might be “too tall” but I love the design.
Please do a review on the 2018 iron 883!!
HD NightBat no idea that's why I want a review
I'll do a review, but it's pretty much unchanged
HD NightBat same...883 fuel injection basic XL frame blacked out components same new shocks and seat from 2016.
Whats the deal with neutral..even on my year old streetglide..I haft to let a little rollback to get it..my sons dyna immiediately drops into neutral
7,000 dollars aint bad..beats a scooter
Not a clue, couldn't get it into neutral during the entire ride despite really trying, haha
Because the dyna gods shine on his bike with blessings of easily finding the green N. Lol
I know I said this before but Like to see a review on the Roaster
SOORY I HAVE SEE YOU VIDEOS WAS IN THE HASPITAL WITH CANSER BUT I RIDE A 2003 goldwing trike but loking for as 2sd bike but my legs are not good cause my cancer
Should I get a used Street Rod 750 or Street 750 as a first bike?
I love mine you can’t compare this to anything it has to be an individual based on other bike experiences review not a detailed comparison to another Harley model it’s unique
Its a tremendous bike for the money, homerun harley!
Had the gx500 street kept it for around 3 weeks traded it in for a brand new 883. Because of the leg reason. Loved the handling and I wanted it originally because I’m new to bikes but it killed my legs after 30 minutes i laid it over twice because I couldn’t move my legs down quick enough once because my knees and legs and hips locked and or was stiff the first time was my own inexperience and I’m 5’ 9”/5’ 8” somewhere around there. Great beginner bike from a beginner’s point of view and awesome handling and the 500 might be a small motor the but acceleration is insane. Biggest down fall though is the pegs and controls and the relocation kit for them through Harley was 500 after parts and labor and I wasn’t about to spend that much on a starter so I opted for a 883 best decision I’ve had I can ride for longer than 30 minutes and not have the feeling of being bow legged and being on the back of a horse for 900 miles. ALSO that neutral problem isn’t just on the “street” models anymore it’s on my 883 and I hated it on the street but it seemed easier than my iron. But that being said my iron is brand new with barely 60 miles on it which when I got it it only had 51 miles so I hope that shit works it’s self out.
It's the Harley Grom
The power is definitely not too bad. I have a street rod 750 and my brother has a 1200 roadster and I rode both and the street rod feels a good amount faster and we also raced and I beat him
rgconcept2321 those street rods are quick little bikes. Turbo it and it will be a real badass machine.
Did your arms start to go numb after riding?
Hey buddy I wanna now 883 iron 2018 is good or 750 street rod 2018?
Sick video
Just bought the 750 street rod , the boy needs a street rod ))
Really? How can everyone listen to all the talk of Harley losing marketshare,being out of touch and not expect changes.To me it seems to be a well thought out advancement.Cool is good.
Test ridden this bike few weeks back, its just too "metric" in feel, doesn't feel like a V-twin cruiser at all. Kinda hate that on a harley.
Do one on the Street Bob!
Can the foot pegs/controls be repositioned for taller riders, like the Kawasaki Vulcan S?
You could put forward controls on it.
Mine is denim grey.
I did a review on my channel for this bike and hated it. I got a TON of hate comments so apparently people like it somewhere... My personal opinion, this is not what I expected for a Harley and should not be in their lineup.
Harley Dave, I get what you are saying but this bike has me intrigued as a person who has never owned a bike so I disagree with the lineup part.
Hey blockhead help me decide, 750 or 883, which would u choose?
883 all the way 👍
Is the 2016 model different than this one ?
Dream bike
Very Cramped ?? Don't you have a Honda Grom ?
Catl from. Uk. Great vlogs
Can you use woodcraft clip ons on this bike ??
Would you prefere it for beginner bikers
What helmet is Aaron wearing?
Tyler Welch it's made by badass helmets. You can get them at the store or online at baddasshelmet.com
U should test ride the new 48
Gunnar Brady a sportster is a sportster. Only model that stands out is roadster with inverted forks.
A bit to Squattey for me I'm 6 foot 3 so I have no idea how I fit on that thing nice bike though
You would need something with forward controls.
5:12 Soo?? 4 years later....do you Finally Found those Neutral??..🤣
Fun vid
why flatfoot when you stop? You're suppose to keep your foot on the brake when you come to a stop.
Is this a good starter bike for a big guy I'm 6ft 280 lbs?
You'd need to adjust the bars and pegs. But sit on it first.
Halfclutch it and slowly shift it will be in neutral
Hey Daryl, sounds like you have one yourself. I bought the street rod several months ago and have about 2000km on it. For some reason I've never experienced the neutral problem. Maybe I just got lucky. I was uncomfortable with the ergos at first, but after a few weeks it wasn't a problem at all. I had to lower the gear lever and rear brake pedal which helped a lot with the comfort.
i agree with bigest engine + smallest bike itd be badass id race it...
okay i have a build idea now 😁 f it ill build the motor too more poowwwaaa
its like my 94 sportster you have to rock it to get into neutral
I've had to rock bikes into neutral, so I'm familiar with that feeling. Even doing that, I couldn't get this one into neutral, nor when coasting to stop. Never even saw the neutral light flicker.
Clutch needed adjusted
I like it
There are windshields available.
You were totally wrong about the turn signals. You press the button to cancel.
Why do H-D dealer peeps seem to fail at specifications so bad? 3.5 gal tank...not 4.5. And it weighs 525 lbs, not "400's". I love H-D, but vague or bad information is becoming their new image.
Also, SOHC, not DOHC like the V-Rod's Revolution.
Its a entry level bike...
Buy some exhaust heat tape...
I'm sure it's only amazing in the turns to someone used to standard H-Ds.
I rode sport bikes and currently own this bike it handles like most naked sports
I got a chance to try a street 750 and I got to be honest it's a major disappointment the seat is crap I was cramped and to me it was way too overpriced. Hell I sat on a Honda CB 300R along with a KTM duke 390 and a Suzuki SV 650 and I felt more comfortable than I did with the Iron or the Street 750. Not only that but the customer service was trash over at Harley the salesman kept trying to get me to do a preapproval to see what I qualify for. And didn't even try to see if I could get into a used bike when he saw that I couldn't qualify for a new one. As far as I'm concerned I will not be purchasing from Harley ever. And then there's the equipment like the motorcycle jackets and gloves and helmet's I looked at the prices holy s**t talk about price gouging. I was looking the Helmet's the cheapest one I found was $135.00 a motorcycle jacket without the protection pads that you can slide into the shoulder and forearms was $125.00 and the gloves the cheapest I could find was like $50.00 so Harley loves to rip off people when it comes to their products. And also a word of advice to anyone who wants to buy a Harley don't. You basically have to have good credit like 700+have no debt what so ever and be sure to bring $5,000 for a downpayment. So anyone with a 600 credit score or lower don't waste your time they will not get you approved and will basically walk you out the door and also they will want a cosigner as well if you happen to get somewhat approved. So if you don't meet the criteria I just mentioned don't waste your time go somewhere else.
Considering this bike, but damn hd where are my potatoessssssss.........
Those are coil over shocks...
Homerun hd!
