![]() ![]() Yep, the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight is a good looking motorcycle. Wide tires on a skinny bike with the Harley-Davidson iconic peanut tank that’s been around since the 1940s. ![]() The motorcycle also features bobbed fenders, 9-spoke machined wheels and a solo seat as standard equipment. The motorcycle features an air-cooled 883cc V-twin engine that’s rubber-mounted to keep the bike smooth out there on the road. The bike is packed with attitude and handsome and fun to boot. This is the less attractive sibling with the same 753cc Revolution X engine.Īt the bottom of the Sportster lineup sits the Iron 883, but just because it’s the least expensive Sportster you can buy doesn’t mean you should discount this model at all. The Street Rod is essentially the same bike but has some style. With that said, give me the Street Rod any day over this. The bike isn’t wildly exciting, but it offers an entry-level HD machine for a reasonable price. The nimble chassis makes and strong engine make it a good middleweight cruiser. The Street 750 is Harley’s entry-level motorcycle but it’s really more than that. If Harley has this why bother with the bland Street 750 in the first place. The bike genuinely looks, good, but it makes us wonder. ![]() The motorcycle features a V-twin 753cc engine and adds it to a bike with a 40-degree lean angle and a more sporty and less entry-level demeanor than the standard Street 750 motorcycle. Basically, it’s the Street 750 that’s actually worthy of the Harley name and looks the part. The 2020 Harley-Davidson Street Rod takes the Revolution X engine from the Street 750 and repurposes it in a bike with drag bars and bar end mirrors. The battery is good for a city range of 146 miles and a highway range of 95 miles. The bike features a permanent magnet electric motor that provides instant torque and can launch the bike from 0-60 mph in three seconds. The LiveWire is all-new for the 2020 model year, and it will be interesting to see how it is received by customers across the country. With that said, it is some out of the box thinking from a company that isn’t known for doing that. It comes with a high price tag and only reasonably commendable performance and range specifications. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is the company’s first try at an electric motorcycle. However, we see 2020 being a tough year for the company despite the fact that they have a lot of cool bikes, they just have far too many similar bikes to be very enticing in 2020. Godspeed to Harley on its mission to reach new customers and younger demographic overall. However, the Pan America and the Bronx won’t hit in 2020, so the big news this year is the Harley LiveWire, which is a controversial bike and not the smash hit that Harley likely wanted it to be. Harley-Davidson is going through a rough patch right now, but the company has its sights set on a new electrified future and some interesting new bikes. ![]()
