Sharing some more images of the new Harley-Davidson bike for those interested in seeing more of this motorcycle.

It does seem perfect commuter cum cruiser cum sports tourer cum classic bike. Will sell like hotcakes if priced around 2.39L introductory price.

These manufacturers really need to put more effort into how they "leak" their pictures.

you can say that again. I received numerous drops from people I don't know, trying their best to make it sound like an anonymous scoop.

One of them had this letter. Makes the bike sound like the best thing since sliced bread! Talk about hype. Wishlist = they should have provided more details about the bike itself. Especially since the motorcycle looks pretty good!

The images says a lot why the specs have not been leaked

I had hoped that HD at least would not get into the "Hit-the-RE-Market" and go "thump-thump" but looks like it is all set to do it and worse better it. Then again their street 883 and 750 did not cut ice with buyers in India and they probably grudgingly brought this. If this is indeed designed and made by Hero Motors i do expect Hero to do its well proven marketing strategies. So you can expect +,++, Super, Super ++ of this model in coming years.

Haha. Probably taken with a battered old agfa gevaert 120 box camera with a patched lens sourced from GUM in Moskva.

I wouldn't accept anything other than a Zenit

Harley-Davidson has officially revealed its upcoming made-in-India bike, called the X440.

This roadster is the first machine to come from Harley's partnership with Hero MotoCorp, and it's powered by an oil-cooled, single-cylinder 440cc motor.

Other noteworthy details include an upside-down fork, round LED headlight, square-ish fuel-tank, a single-piece seat and alloy wheels.

For some reason, what I like the most is the centre stand.
I hope this is offered, doesn't matter if as an accessory.

This shows the attention to detail, to ensure the Indian market seriously considers this.

[achats]

For the anticipated price, bike looks good, like a TVS Ronin done right. I hope hero - Harley have sorted out any QC issues on day 0 itself and this can be bought blindfolded, unlike the Bajaj-KTM experience.

[Senotrius]

Waiting for the 400cc, 40bhp, liquid cooled version of the xpulse that this engine will be used for.

[AutoDowntowner]

Is it really a HD? or based on a Chinese bike? Because this doesn't really look like a original HD bike.

[aargee]

Unless X440 is priced between: Dominar 400 around 2.65L & cheapest Interceptor 650 around 3.5L, there might be hardly any takers. With upgraded Interceptor's alloy wheels now, it's very difficult to propose a better value unless HD has got an awesome P2W ratio or some other tricks rolled under its sleeves that RE doesn't have.

Agree with you, it looks like a mix between the Yamaha FZ-X and the Bajaj V. Somehow it looks very much like a commuter motorcycle than a "Harley Davidson". They should have built a proper cruiser motorcycle like the Street 750 with the 400cc engine.

Just like others , waiting for the Xpulse 400 now.
