The Harley-Davidson Street 750 is the brand's best-selling offering in India

Both the Harley Street 750 and the Street Rod are powered by the 749 cc liquid-cooled Revolution X engine. The V-Twin motor was upgraded to the BS6 emission norms last year with the 10th-anniversary edition and develops 60 Nm of peak torque at 3750 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed transmission. The Street 750 uses telescopic forks upfront and twin shocks at the rear for suspension duties. On the other hand, the Street Rod gets more sophisticated hardware with USD forks at the front and a gas-charged rear suspension. Braking performance comes from disc brakes at either end on both motorcycles with dual-channel ABS as standard.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
