A New Harley-Davidson Featured in the Captain America: Civil War Trailer

The famed comic book franchise Marvel has released a trailer for their upcoming film, adding another sequel in the Captain America franchise. The new movie holds a surprise for Harley-Davidson fans the world over. As we all know, Harley-Davidson has been a partner of Marvel, with several of its motorcycles getting featured in the comic book company’s films. Well now in the trailer for Captain America: Civil War we can see bits and pieces of a new Harley Davidson in a chase scene. But now is it the Street 750? Or something new?. Unfortunately the motorcycle scene appears only briefly with actor Sebastian Stan in the role of Bucky Barnes. First impressions are that the motorcycle looks like a Street 750 but there are some traces that it may be something else.

Firstly, the physical size of this new motorcycle looks similar to the Street 750. It has a similar rear fender, round instrument dial and twin rear shocks. But as the motorcycle exits the scene you get a clear view of the LED taillights and red-coiled shocks. These aren’t items that are currently offered either on the stock Street 750 or in Harley-Davidson’s parts catalogue. The fuel tank has a single filler cap on the right side of the tank which looks similar in shape and arrangement as on the Street 750. But if you look closely at the front wheel however and we can see what looks like dual front brakes which are definitely not offered on the Street 750. Based on these clues, we can guess that the Civil War motorcycle may be a performance-oriented version of Street 750 or it’s possible that this motorcycle is just a one-off custom built for the film. In the previous Captain America film, 2014’s The Winter Soldier, Harley-Davidson debuted the Street while this year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron showcased the electric Livewire prototype. Captain America: Civil War is slated for a May 6 opening in North America (April 29 in the U.K.) so we expect Harley-Davidson to release information on this mystery bike before then.
