Hey cruiser fans! I’m Henry Thomson, an automobile expert with over 10 years of experience reviewing motorcycles, from entry-level commuters to premium cruisers in India and global markets. As of January 10, 2026, the Harley-Davidson Street 750 remains discontinued in India since early 2021, with no official revival or 2026 update announced by Harley-Davidson or Hero MotoCorp (their partner since 2021). Viral articles claiming a “2026 launch” with modern updates, powerful V-twin, and competitive pricing are speculative or clickbait – no press releases, official sites (harley-davidson.com/in), or dealer info confirm any return.
The Street 750 was a game-changer when launched in 2014: India’s first locally made Harley (Bawal plant), most affordable entry point (~₹4.5-5 lakh), and top seller (80%+ of sales). It bridged new riders to the brand with urban-friendly design, liquid-cooled 749cc Revolution X V-twin (60 hp, smooth torque), and easy handling. But low global sales, competition, and Harley’s “Rewire” strategy led to India operations shutdown in 2020, plant closure, and discontinuation of Street 750/Street Rod.
Today, Harley focuses on premium CBU imports and Hero co-developed models like the X440 (440cc cruiser, ₹2.35-2.55 lakh, strong seller) and upcoming X350/X500. If you’re chasing that affordable Harley cruiser India vibe or urban mid-size cruiser, here’s the real story and options.
Why the Street 750 Ended – Key Facts
- Discontinued in 2021: After Harley’s India exit announcement (Sept 2020), production stopped; models sold at heavy discounts before vanishing.
- No Revival Signs: 2026 Harley lineup emphasizes Softail, Touring, CVO, and Hero tie-ups (X440 T launched 2025, deliveries Jan 2026). No Street series return in official news or 2026 announcements.
- Rumours vs Reality: Clickbait sites recycle old specs (liquid-cooled V-twin, LED lights, low seat) with “2026 launch” hype – often from non-official blogs. Physics and brand strategy don’t support a sudden 750cc revival without new engine/platform.
Iconic Legacy & What Made It Special
The Street 750 nailed urban cruising: low-slung stance, muscular tank, minimalist body, and relaxed ergonomics (low seat ~710mm, forward pegs). It offered confident city handling, highway stability, and that signature Harley rumble (managed vibrations).
Engine: 749cc liquid-cooled V-twin – strong low-end torque, smooth 6-speed gearbox, ~20-25 kmpl real-world mileage.
Features: Basic but practical – LED lights, semi-digital cluster, USB charging (later models), ABS optional.
It appealed to new riders wanting Harley experience under ₹6 lakh – easy to ride, daily usable, weekend fun.
Current Harley Alternatives in India (2026)
Harley shifted to higher-end and Hero collaborations:
- Harley-Davidson X440 (Hero co-developed): 440cc single-cylinder, 27 hp, neo-retro cruiser, ~35 kmpl, ₹2.35-2.55 lakh – best current “affordable Harley” for urban riders.
- Upcoming: X350/X500 (rumoured 2026-27) – smaller/larger cruisers to fill entry gaps.
- Premium Cruisers: Sportster S, Nightster, Fat Boy – true Harley DNA but higher price.
If you loved the Street 750’s approachable style, the X440 captures similar spirit with modern safety (dual-channel ABS), Bluetooth, and reliability.
Final Verdict: A Legend That Ended Too Soon
The Harley-Davidson Street 750 was a bold, accessible cruiser that introduced thousands to the brand – but discontinued since 2021 with no confirmed 2026 revival. Rumours are exciting but unverified; focus on official sources like harley-davidson.com/in.
For urban riders wanting that Harley feel today, check the X440 – it’s practical, stylish, and brand-backed. Test ride one at a dealer!
