Earlier today, Harley-Davidson showcased its all-electric LiveWire for the first time in India. However, that wasn’t the only motorcycle at the event, with the manufacturer also launching a limited-edition BS-6 compliant Street 750, at Rs 5.47 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The special edition bike celebrates 10 years of Harley Davidson in India, with production limited to 300 units.
The manufacturer is also likely roll out the BS-6 compliant version of the standard bike in the near future, the pricing for which remains to be seen. The limited-edition model sports a unique colour scheme and gets decals on the tank signifying the decade in India. While we await detailed information on what else is new, a representative from Harley has confirmed that the upgrade to BS6 norms doesn’t bring with it a reduction in performance. That means the 749cc liquid-cooled, V-twin, continues to churn out 60Nm of torque.
At the event, Harley also detailed some of its plans for its customers. These include the ‘HOG 10 on 10’ mobile application that connects Harley owners, and there’s a new riding academy on the cards too.
The Street 750 is the first Harley-Davidson to be BS6-compliant but it may not be the first big-bike to do so. Kawasaki claims that a majority of motorcycles in their current line-up meet BS6 norms, which is surprising considering most of their engines haven’t received a significant update over the last year.
