Harley-Davidson introduced this nameplate for the 2014 model year as part of a new Street family aimed at urban riders and newer motorcyclists. It was built around Harley-Davidson’s liquid-cooled Revolution X V-twin and marked a notable shift for the brand, bringing a smaller-displacement, more accessible motorcycle into the lineup while still carrying familiar Harley styling cues and a dark custom attitude. The model was positioned as a city-focused machine with a narrow chassis, low seat height, and straightforward, minimalist design that made it popular as a starter Harley and as a base for customization.
Over its run, the nameplate remained a compact, modern entry in the Harley-Davidson range rather than a long-running classic cruiser format. It appeared in the company’s model literature through the 2020 model year, after which Harley-Davidson no longer treated it as a current model. Enthusiasts often remember it as one of the key motorcycles in Harley’s push to broaden its appeal to younger and more urban riders, and as part of the company’s effort to modernize its small-motorcycle strategy in the 2010s.
