Okay, so, let’s talk about this Harley-Davidson XG series, specifically that Street 750 model I got my hands on.
First off, I watched a bunch of videos about the XG750, and man, most were just Harley guys, and many of them were pretty negative. But, you know, I wanted to see for myself. I mean, it’s got that classic Harley look, but it’s a bit different, right?
So, I went down to the dealership and checked it out. This thing is powered by a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled Revolution X V-Twin engine. I got on and took the xg750 for a test ride. I noticed the low seat height, which is great for me, you know, not being the tallest guy around.
The bike felt pretty nimble. I mean, it zipped around corners like it was nothing. I guess that’s because of its narrow chassis. It didn’t have that heavy feel some other Harleys have. I pushed it a bit, and it responded well. Oh, and get this, the engine doesn’t redline until 9,000 RPMs! I could have been on the street for hours just getting a feel for it.
I did some reading up on it after. I found some reviews on Cycle Insider – you know, just regular folks sharing their thoughts. That’s my type of source. There was a mix of opinions, but a lot of people seemed to like it for what it is. And also, I found out that Harley-Davidson, founded way back in 1903, really has some history.
After riding and reading, I started thinking about how this bike fits into the whole Harley lineup. It’s like, they’re trying to reach a different crowd with this one.
I spent a good chunk of time just riding around, getting a feel for the bike in different situations. City streets, open roads, you name it. I even tracked my fuel usage – ended up averaging about 46.30 MPG. Not bad, right?
In the end, I decided that this Harley-Davidson XG750 is a decent ride. It’s not perfect, but it’s got its own thing going on. It’s a good choice for someone who wants a Harley, but maybe something a bit more agile and modern.
- I spent time watching videos and reading reviews.
- I took it for a test ride and pushed it to see how it handles.
- I tracked fuel usage and gathered data on its performance.
- I reflected on the overall experience and what it means for the Harley brand.
So, yeah, that’s my take on the Harley XG750. It’s a cool bike with a lot to offer, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual Harley experience. I’m pretty satisfied with the ride and happy to have experienced it firsthand.
