I think we Indians love torquey thumpers more than sports bikes so in this way Harley has an edge over Triumph in respect to feel of riding. The Speed 400 might seem a little similar to the KTMs.
Speed 400 is not like ktm. You can cruise on speed at 80-90 easily, it doesn't ask to push like Duke or adventure. It's engine is brand new more towards comfortable cruising . It's more competitive towards price, Harley top spec is costly then speed 400. That is where issue is and also the build quality, fit and finish on Harley doesn't justify the price
None of the videos can do justice to the sound of this bike, One has to ride or feel it in person. I have been riding since 24 years now. Started with Pulsar then FZ (2008). I always dreamed of having a cruiser. This for me is mixture of roadster and cruiser (elitists here can correct me here if i am wrong). The sound is amazing when you are actually riding it. My FZ 2008's weight is 135 Kgs and this one is 195kgs. When I rode the bike today, it was so perfectly balanced one could not even feel any the weight its pure balance and fine piece of automobile. I am absolutely in love with this one. Those who say that exhaust does not look cool, HD knows it they could either choose look vs sound and they went for the sound and I love it.
I own a X440 now with 1.5k km riden. This was one of the video which made me to take a testride and chose and i am really Happy. There are people who simply spread negativity about this bike wothout even riding it. Really disappointed with that.. But this gem will slowly take the show.
Harley calling only selected riders for its test ride itself speaks of its quality. Triumph has called everyone for test rides because they are confident about their quality. Also they are exporting it to the global markets.
@@atharvasune432 yes in the other vlog of the invited influencer, Harley has mentioned there will be changes in the production. quality has never been. question, its the fit and finish
Bajaj has already killed the Harley in the beginning itself. Firstly the aggressive pricing, secondly superior fit and finish and thirdly, a very powerful engine coupled with all the important features. Lastly Bajaj has nailed the coffin with its extensive media coverage by providing the bike to each and every creator, all of them have praised the bike. All reviews can't be bought right? Triumph has already reached over 10k bookings. I don't think Harley is even near that figure.
I don't think so. If service part is not resolved by triumph. It will not matter tgat triumph will get higher numbers ahead. If u do booking of harleys. I already see heroes select showrooms taking booking amount for delivery. Bajaj will open stores. But number will be less. Just look at honda. They had petfect bike to tske on RE but people don't buy it due to service centers and deslership distance from their home.
Man, your work is real. I drive a lot. Earlier, I used to ride a lot. Last year I clocked around 15k to 17k in my SUV. I don't make vlogs and all, BUT, I know when one makes a real one. Let me elucidate. There are two categories: 1. Who makes what people want to know. 2. Who makes what and how they feel realistically. You are the second category. It takes expertise to know which category you are in. It takes miles on highways, state-ways, road-ways and off-road-ways to understand and appreciate your content. My point, don't give up. When clouds of 'educators' grow weak, your 'realism' will grow stronger. That's the next era yet to come. Anyway, you can work with your edit team to align your current content with contemporary requirements. Kudos. Good luck.
Very balanced, unbiased review. You stated all the facts very clearly. I enjoyed this also for the quality visuals and your calm, unemotional voice. Thank you, FalconRiders.
@@LyadhkhorRider their aim was probably more on sound … cuz that’s what differentiates a harley from say an Indian. And between sound and looks.. well sound wins..
You will not be the star of youtube as you say but you are the best youtuber best teacher best advisor for us. And if I say personally, your nature and your style is the most different and cool.
Good to see the childlike enthusiasm off course you are riding a Harley it's a religion I can understand as im waiting myself to drive one thanks for the insights waiting for the next video with details. Keep Riding bro.
More or less yess… we rarely have long stretches of empty roads… for quick overtakes getting the torque right is more important… plus high speeds are never sustainable so for long distances you need something that can cruise around easily at lower rpm’s but can pull quickly if required… so again torque comes in play… power comes in handy when you need quick bursts of power and you want to achieve higher speeds.. like increase the top speed
only 6 would be becos rest will be busy with triumph :D rest assured., all the Indians are getting to ride the best of the world., progressive India, gen z getting to enjoy all the good in the world
Nice....I have observed one thing in your videos that the titles which have the bike name in it have more views compared to other videos and if it is a review video then you know it is getting good traffic😊
I will go for this bike over triumoh 400. I like the torque nayure of the bike and it sound beautiful. I will orefer base variant which looks more retro.
@@saikrishnavemula4587 Broooo finally who understands it… have to explain to everyone it’s not even worth comparing those two bikes their purpose itself is different 😭😭…
My only design apprehensions are that extended swingarm which looks really odd and again the exhaust awkwardly out of place, from rear it look you're carrying broom with you!! 😢
Wow.....good review. Now i hope ur view of brands diluting its value has taken a u-turn in some of the aspects of the journey in owning a bike 😂. Jusst kidding......no offense meant. What I now see is a win-win situation for both sides. Will be interesting to see what competitors like RE, Honda, TVS, Bajaj & KTM bring to the floor in terms of repositioning their existing products or introduction of competitive priced products. Any idea will Harley/Hero introduce bikes in the Adv/Cruiser category with the same long stroke engine.....Hero is missing in the 250-450cc bracket.
You can kind of hear the bikes exhaust trying to emulate the turbine sound the twins make. Glad hero put some love and effort into the exhaust note. Can't wait to hear it in person.
@@sensocaredelhi2292 it all has to do with acoustics man… I mean if you just look at it you might not be able to tell a Harley from an Indian.. but from the sound you can definitely tell. And engineering a sound requires that designs be ugly… take any theatre for example… bring on all the lights and you will see even theatres are not aesthetic but between aesthetics and sound sound takes precedence… for a Harley I think deciding sound over aesthetics is the best decision
07:54..locals flocking around x440..thats the reputation Harley enjoys among youngsters wether they rode it or not...most youngsters havent even heard of Triumph..but they know Harley Davidson.. So Bajaj funding paid reviews on YT to push their bike..sell only on marketing prowess and not on actual rideability.
🫴please tell hero increase quality of buttons, hide wires, and come up with more good colour and range of assesories. Else bike is awsome, fabulous engine. Like ik more then triumph❤✌️🧣
Lies lies and lies! 🤦 First six in India? Lol 🤣 Harley conducted rides on Saturday and Sunday in four batches depending upon the availability of the journos/influencers/youtubers. You were just one of the total 40-50 invited by Harley in Gurgaon. And you were not left alone. One Harley rider was monitoring you all the time. Ye kyon nahi bataya falcon sahab?
@@anup1132 umm.. read about the xr series of Harley ? Design cues from there… it’s not a cruiser … I do get your point… say Harley and you’d think of big badass looking cruisers with big double exhausts and crazy headlight design…. But for a single cylinder… I think at least the first half looks good… they messed up the rear pretty bad though
@@atharvasune432 its not ab design , for me component is looking cheaper as seen in video.let me see it personally then i ll comment. Infact triumph 400 look much better in terms of component quality.

The sales number will speak for itself. I think the Triumph will far outsell the Harley.
The speed is nowhere like ktm , try riding a 390 in 6th gear at 40, I have a 390 and it's not for traffic

@@LyadhkhorRider their aim was probably more on sound … cuz that’s what differentiates a harley from say an Indian. And between sound and looks.. well sound wins..
HD wiring harnesses, on their sub-1000cc bikes, always wrap round one side of the fork. Hasn't changed since the first Street 750 of 2014.
@@tryarunm street 750 really isnt the benchmark. That bike was also known for its low quality and obvious cost cutting.

Hi,
The gap between the fuel tank and handle bar is much more and does not looks aesthetic.
How can we reduce the gap.
Use thermocol or cardboard
Eagerly waiting for the 2nd Part. I have 1 question sir. Was the tft screen easy to read under sunlight?
yes i also have the same question
Let me tell you no tft is clear in sun , only tft that works somewhat okay in bright sun is on BMW GS , that too because of the angle .
@@kankit230 How do you say that without seeing the bike in person?
And what about the avg also
@@KB-cu3bw i have used multiple tft screens on different motorcycles , and harley is definitely not using a very high quality tft.
You will not be the star of youtube as you say but you are the best youtuber best teacher best advisor for us. And if I say personally, your nature and your style is the most different and cool.
Thank you so much 😀
I think people who like Classic350 will like this bike as both are having good low end torque motors.
Harley Davidson x440 vs RE Himalayan which is better?
Sir i have 2 question
How is the suspension of this bike..?
And is there any heating issue in lower gears??
Bhai Jack ki David Putra 2000cc review layo 😆😆.... Btw awesome video
Thanks
WOW !!!!
Eagerly waiting for the second part....your analysis and observation...
Sir, Mileage kitna hai? iss bike ka mileage test ka video kisi ne dala hi nhi abhi tak youtube pe.
Being an air cooled engine what is the heating situation of the engine?
Is this bike good for ladakh terrain?
Vo...ich! Buddy, any heating issue on the bike as there's no liquid cooling? 😊❤
Good to see the childlike enthusiasm off course you are riding a Harley it's a religion I can understand as im waiting myself to drive one thanks for the insights waiting for the next video with details.

Is it sound better than classic 350
For Indian conditions torque matters most over power ??

Nope

Hope ki jub bhi new bike aye mkt m to first aap ko he invite kiya jye for review and testing 😊
All these reviews of HD440X smell so artificial. None of the renowned guys invited. Too much praise in almost all these 6 reviews 😮
Vibrations?
My only design apprehensions are that extended swingarm which looks really odd and again the exhaust awkwardly out of place, from rear it look you're carrying broom with you!! 😢
Another 2 or 3 cables in the front and you will look like an electrical contractor with cables falling out from his bag
Related to wires on handle bar, Less bends more performance
yup thats what I thought
