Possibly new Harley-Davidson in Captain America: Civil War

Harley-Davidson and Marvel Comics go hand in hand when it comes to blockbuster movies. Harleys have been featured in Marvel's comic book based movies in the past. Marvel Comics has recently released the official trailer of Captain America: Civil War, in which a chase sequence has a Harley-Davidson rumbling through traffic. This may hold a surprise to Harley-Davidson fans as the American brand had in the previous movie franchise of 2014's Captain America: Winter soldier showcased the Street 750 prior to its debut launch.

The presence of the Harley-Davidson is very brief in the trailer, the motorcycle is seen ridden by actor Sebastian Stan who portrays the character of Bucky Barnes in the movie. From the fleeting glance we get in the trailer, the motorbike looks to be a Harley-Davidson Street 750, but there are other small hints of something being different. Comparing the similarities, the motorcycle seen in the movie has a similiar rear fender, fuel filler cap located on the right side of tank, circular instrumental dial between the handlebar and dual rear shocks which can be seen on the Harley-Davidson Street series. The exhaust on the motorcycle is not a bone stock version, but borrows from the official aftermarket Screaming Eagle Nightstick muffler series by Harley-Davidson.

The version of the motorcycle showcased in the movie which sets it apart front from the current Street are LED taillights and holding the rear end are dual shocks dipped in red paint with additional gas-charged dampers. Both these accessories are currently not available on the official Harley-Davidson parts catalogue list. The other image of the motorbike provides us the aerial view where the front receives dual front brakes which are definitely not provided on the Street. What we reckon is that the motorbike could be a facelifted version of the Street or possibly a custom-made version solely for the movie.

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War is scheduled for its release in United Kingdom on 29th April, 2016. Expect the movie's official release in the India the following week. Till then we presume Harley-Davidson would release some teasers on the possible new Street offering.
