Harley-Davidson Street 750 gets ABS in India

The Harley-Davidson Street 750 is a very important motorcycle for the American cruiser motorcycle brand in India. It is the cheapest motorcycle one can buy in the country and thus is responsible for bringing in the mass numbers for the brand. But the bike itself received a lot of flak for having poor braking performance and was chided by us in our official review for the same. Now for the 2017 version of the bike, Harley is finally selling the ABS equipped Street 750 in India, as seen on their updated website.

Harley-Davidson has updated their website and has now listed the new Street 750 having ABS as a safety feature. While the motorcycle remains more or less the same in its style and design, the new edition gets three colours. The website shows no information about the pricing of the updated cruiser.
