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 71.6 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 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.
-
📏
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. 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 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. 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 a Street 750's 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. 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.
