The Harley Davidson SS-175, also known as the SS 175, was a 175cc motorcycle manufactured by Harley Davidson from 1970 to 1976. This model, a departure from the typical large-displacement cruisers Harley was known for, was designed to target the growing market of smaller, more affordable motorcycles, particularly appealing to younger riders and those seeking a more economical and maneuverable option. The SS-175's design was based on the Aermacchi Ala Verde, an Italian motorcycle company that Harley Davidson had acquired in 1960. The bike featured a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a 4-speed transmission, offering a modest but practical performance for city commuting and recreational riding. It was known for its simplicity, ease of maintenance, and relatively light weight, making it a popular choice for beginners.
Despite its intended market, the SS-175 faced stiff competition from Japanese manufacturers like Honda and Suzuki, who were already established in the smaller motorcycle segment. The SS-175, while a well-engineered machine, was ultimately overshadowed by the affordability and reliability of its Japanese rivals. This, combined with Harley Davidson's focus on its traditional cruiser line, led to the model's discontinuation in 1976. While the SS-175 may not have achieved the same lasting legacy as other Harley Davidson models, it remains a significant part of the company's history, demonstrating their attempt to diversify and cater to a broader audience. Today, the SS-175 is a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts, especially those interested in Harley Davidson's foray into the smaller motorcycle market and its unique place in the brand's diverse history.
