I've probably only seen one or two of the street 500s (or maybe they were street 750s, I can't tell the difference). Definitely doesn't seem to be a big seller. I've always though they were sort of a replacement for a Buell Blast -- i.e., a smaller/cheaper bike that lets new riders interested in Harleys not be forced to start on a competitor's bike before (hopefully) moving up to an HD. The initial reviews of them seemed to be pretty spotty (Motorrad experienced complete front brake failure on their 2015 test bike).
Good to HD doing well though. They have finally seemed to be making bikes with more mass appeal.
