2019 Harley-Davidson Street 500 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Harley-Davidson Street 500 relies on a 494 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 40 Nm (29.5 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 69.0 x 66.0 mm (2.7 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Street 500 measures 233.2 kg (514 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,519 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.25-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.68 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 360 km (224 miles) between fill-ups.
