1. TRIUMPH STREET TWIN VS HARLEY DAVIDSON HARLEY STREET 750

TRIUMPH is one of Britain’s oldest motorcycle companies. This company released the first Speed Twin in 1938, which remained in production for two years. This series was revived in 1947 and remained in production until 1966. Originally, it was fitted with a 498 cc engine capable of horsepower of 27 hp. In 2016, Triumph re-released the Street Twin with a 900 cc engine and a variant with a larger 1,200 cc engine. Both models shared a similar design inspired by the original Triumph Street Twin from the 1900s.

One of America’s most popular motorcycle brands, Harley Davidson has launched many heavyweight motorcycles with large engines and expensive prices. But in 2014, Harley launched two entry-level cruisers with reasonably powerful engines, a new chassis design, and a unique riding style. The new Harley cruisers became known as the STREET 500 and STREET 750.
