2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 Overview
For 2017, Harley-Davidson offers the Street 750 as a custom / cruiser motorcycle. The 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 is built around a V2, four-stroke engine running Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.0:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 85 x 66 mm. Out on the road, the Street 750 delivers 60.34 Nm @ 4000 Revolutions of torque. In everyday use, the 2017 Street 750 tips the scales at 229 kg, carries a 13.10-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 653 mm and spans a 1,534 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 51.9 kg lighter than the average custom / cruiser motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 spec sheet below.
2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 compared with other bikes in the Custom / cruiser category

- With 653 mm, the Street 750 has the joint 132nd lowest seat height of 1316 bikes in the Custom / cruiser category, 6% below the category average of 697 mm.
- Torque of 60.3 Nm is lower than that of 862 of the other 1052 bikes in the Custom / cruiser category.
- Only 205 of the other 1004 bikes in the Custom / cruiser category have a lighter wet weight than the 229 kg of the Street 750.
- Narrowing the field to the 590 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 653 mm is lower than that of 501 of the other 589.
Versus the 2016 model
Compared with the 2016 model, wet weight went up from 221.8 kg to 229 kg (+7.2 kg). Peak torque and seat height are unchanged.
2017 Street 750 - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: The single disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.
-
🛡️
ABS fitted: With ABS on board, hard braking on a damp or gravelly surface is far less likely to end in a locked wheel.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: At just 653 mm, flat-footing at a stop is easy for most riders - a genuine confidence builder for less experienced owners.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.
Considerations
-
ℹ️
Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the Street 750 - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Street 750 comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on Single Overhead Cams (SOHC)-equipped engines like the Street 750's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
Single disc with 2-piston floated front and rear, optional ABS up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by Telescopic fork up front and Twin shocks at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Belt final drive keeps day-to-day maintenance minimal on the Street 750 - just periodic tension and wear checks rather than the regular cleaning a chain demands.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Street 750's 229 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
Street 750 - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 custom / cruiser should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs belt final drive, so check belt tension and tooth wear - a cracked or glazed belt is a clear sign of neglect. Now 9 years old, this custom / cruiser is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Street 750 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the Street 750's v2, four-stroke engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. The sump holds 3.10 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With an 11.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Street 750's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a Street 750's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
