In other news, the Harley-Davidson Street 750 and the Street Rod 750 have been discontinued which means, India won’t have these models either, at least for the foreseeable future. Globally, Harley-Davidson has discontinued other models from its Softail range which are the FXDR, Low Rider and the Deluxe. The Low Rider S stays though.
