Sir i cant believe you covered everything like in few hours mad respect to you and very detailed very straight forward no big talks only factual details and nice review and very satisfying one too i think all the doubts are clear now ....❤❤❤ Thank you and and yout team
Liked this video right at 2:59 minutes, where you mentioned the RPM in 6th gear at 100 KMPH cruising speed!!! None or very few reviewers talks about this!!! Thanks!!! This is what really matters, a relaxed engine at speeds of 80-100 on Indian highways!! No reviews are worth watching or reading if the cruising RPM-Speeds at 100 aren't mentioned!!! Who are we racing with these street bikes to talk about 0-60, Valentino Rossi??!! Harley has a winner here!!! Didn't like the CB350 because of its taller 5 ratios which makes it downshift often and the RE's never impressed me!!! This should be the one for me!!! The RPM of 4000 at 100 is on par with that of RE650 twins!!! Worth the buy!!! Hope the service department doesn't let us down!!!
The base variant with spoke wheels looks very good and overall the bike looks good except for the part under rear seat. Don’t think it can be removed cause the rear light seems to be attached to it.
I have seen multiple X440 review videos available on youtube but I must admit Amit has covered almost everything an enthusiast would like to know from a new launch. Pretty balanced review with details of what is good and what could have been better with this bike. Waiting for a detailed real-life road ride experience for this one. Keep up the fabulous work...
This is a very good review - looks like this is going to be game changer In india in this particular segment - pricing is bang on - just hope that the service / maintenance cost is reasonable- bike looks really good 👍🏼👌
When compared with RE Looks good More power More torque Colour display with ample information Bluetooth connectivity 6 gears Inverted front forks Fat tyre Pricing par with RE Definately a RE competitor 😊
@@motoroids Absolutely. Not all of us see the need for petrol guzzling big twins. Remember the early Buel/Harley days? 500cc Buell blast was a fun ride.
Forget about the looks.. It is bound to be reliable since Hero has a hand on it. And I am tempted to believe that it will sell like hot cakes because of the pricing. When the price is right, any product sells itself..
Yeahh.....I totally agree with you ...the price is very competitive and I think it creates a new opening for the buyer like now they have option over that they got a good names to on the boards so yeahh this gonna sell like a hot cake for sure
Always be aware of the Mike, where it's placed. And always. ALWAYS check the video after the upload, watch as a viewer from a different so you can make necessary changes
The review is very good and detailed. We are able to understand most of the things. Thought of booking RE Classic 350, but i need to wait to have hands on this. Will it be comfortable for the pillion if we change the seats similar to RE Touring passenger seat.
Cursorily looking, the Triumph 400 Twins look very well designed; they carry the Triumph essence in them. This Harley doesn't carry that brand's design language. When compared to the front half, the oddly designed rectangular rear section and the "Splendor" like exhaust look out of place on this. Providing USD shocks at this price point is really great move by Hero and Harley but they don't look as meaty when compared to the other bikes, they sort of blend in, even, the fuel tank cover with the exposed neck takes away its appeal, Bigger looking fuel tanks are what we come to expect from a Harley. So far, the pricing is the biggest USP for this one. If Triumph prices its bikes competitively, Harley will face a tough time breaking ground in the market.
The exhaust looks like they had completely forgotten about it throughout the design and development process, and then 30 seconds before the first photoshoot they found some random spare of a random Hero bike and stuck it there
Very much satisfied with review but i can understand your thoughts on negative aspects are projected very lightly as viewers are not much impacted from it. Appreciated. I am thinking to book this little beast but Those spender silencer which looks like factory chimney, those dekstop cables hanging around handle looks ugly and also narrow splender seats, 170 mm ground clearance and not so soft suspension on Indian roads are making me to wait.
I like the front end and spoke and alloy wheels, however I would like to see less fendering at the rear with a low slung wheel huger at the back 😅plus a high flung exhaust
Your reviews are very detailed and awesome. Could you please tell me any components (engine or other parts), engineering in this bike which is originally from Harley Davidson?
Fuel efficiency will be deciding factor were hero is master of producing fuel efficient bikes . Very few will migrate form lower cc bikes to HD400 if it fails on fuel count. RE is good in mileage
Specifications are good. But look is meh ! Although I need to replace my 10 years old motorcycle asap, I will wait for Himalayan 450. Till than it'll be also on road and I'll be able to gauge the servicing prices as well as other minor details. By the way, this review is really nice and balanced. Props to you👐
Its Great effort by Hero who brought HD to us at affordable price even before we criticise lets Congratulate! HERO MC 👏🏻 Now as a typical Motorcycle enthusiast I am little disappointed with the 2 valves, 9.5:1 gear ratio & Max torque 4000 RPM 4 valves, 10.5:1 or 11.0:1 and Max torque 5000 RPM would have been better But lets hope for best, this is just the beginning and it gets better and better
11.0:1 compression ratio is never possible with this kind of an engine. It's a long stroke engine which is made for low end torque. Harley's have always used long stroke V-Twins in the past. REs are long stroke. You're talking KTM compression which are short stroke engines usually high revving and power higher up the rev range. 2 valves are enough for this kind of an engine. Also 2 valves will give better torque down low which is the intent of this motorcycle. This produces better numbers than the infamous classic 500 yet being lesser displacement. It's a good motor. Now only time will speak for reliability.
Everyone who is interested in X440 should atleast see it once in the showroom. The videos don't do justice to this bike.. like for example the gap disappears when you sit on the bike, the exhaust note is nice and thumpy, The bike feels substantial it-feels like a big bike, yes the fit and finish is not at par with Triumph but it's not the worst either, and last but not the least the exhaust looks odd in real life too but if you are willing to spend some extra money later you can buy aftermarket exhausts. People who are confused between the speed 400 and x440 should go to the respective showrooms, don't blindly believe in any TH-cam review, experience the bikes for yourselves and then make a decision. Don't let your hard earned money go to waste.
Thanks for an amazing review. Can you please comment on how much heat is generated near the legs compared to the likes of RE 350 or even KTM. Also how does it compare to Honda highness 350. I plan to purchase a bike soon and confused between Honda And this. Thanks once again.
Woah- wasn't expecting such an in-depth video so soon. The bike definitely looks good- at least the front half that reeks of Sportster vibes. Unfortunately the rear half seems to be designed by a different (and demotivated) team- the rear fender overhang has Made in China written all over. But looks to be a well finished motorcycle and the price is the icing.
Hey guys, I want to hear from you. I owned RE Meteor 350 for 10 months. Now I am thinking of owning this one too. So tell me the reasons to go for X440 over my Meteor 350, please.
True said this bike is the end destination. You ride all type of bikes I your life and come down to a strong, reliable, minimalistic tech,simple design and relaxed driving pleasure. That's Harley or a Meteor350 that's it.
@@motoroids I took a ride on RE METEOR 350..Found it quite comfortable. Earlier Java was my fav, but due to maintenance, part availablity etc factors, I leaned to RE now... Since this is having strong backing from Hero , I am confused about this..I had CBZ extreme, and fantastic experience..so I am confused with RE Meteor 350 or HDX440 now...
the body line of the bike is weird. the rear mudguard is looking offbeat to the remaining body. those who are saying hp is low then for this kind of bike torque is way more important and 38 nm is really nice.
@@motoroids that's the thing that made me worried. As I have seen, in metropolitan cities it will be just fine but in tier 2 or 3 cities, one can just speculate.
My two cents on the review.. The color and finish is compromised which is visible even on the video. It's does feel more like a Hero. I think Triumph and Bajaj Speed 400 and Scrambler will take a lead and outsmart Harleys Strategy
*while I was appalled by how uninspired the design felt when the first photo leaks were out, a video makes it clear that the severely underrated Harley xsr1200 is a primary influence visually.*
Wow my dream to ride wide and raised handlebar on a cruising motorbike Harley would come true now. Less tech is best for a tensionfree minimalistic design classic cruiser.Yes Harley has given a fuel indicator which was missing in most of its line. So over all Harley has improved a lot. And this product is beautiful. In deep love with the design. I will put a wide raised handle bar and a full size mudguard at rear. that's it . Yes a wind shield if you like. And it's done. Relaxed posture is what I love and one more bike in its category is royal Enfield meteor 350.❤ But yes only budget will make people choose between the 2.
I love this vodeo y because You COVERED PILLION COMFORT !!! Great work no one talks about pillion. If its a sports bike thats ok, one reason to go for retro is to carry pillion
Sir i cant believe you covered everything like in few hours mad respect to you and very detailed very straight forward no big talks only factual details and nice review and very satisfying one too i think all the doubts are clear now ....❤❤❤ Thank you and and yout team
Thanks for the kind words
What's your opinion in difference between Harley 440 and triumph 400 .. better in daily routine and service factor
It’s quite surprising. Compared to launch video it looks and sounds way better . Very eager to take it for test ride

Bhai aapka knowledge toh kamal ka hai :D Suggest me a good video to learn more about RPM thingy better 😅

Mileage?
Tbh I love this bike lot of people are not happy with the rear side but I think it's cool they have given the look of scrambler too.

This is a very good review - looks like this is going to be game changer In india in this particular segment - pricing is bang on - just hope that the service / maintenance cost is reasonable- bike looks really good 👍🏼👌
When compared with RE
Looks good
More power
More torque
Colour display with ample information
Bluetooth connectivity
6 gears
Inverted front forks
Fat tyre
Pricing par with RE
Definately a RE competitor 😊
When ever new bike reviews uploaded on ur channel...a smile 😃 on face automatically genrate ..thank u for ur deep conversation for product...
Thanks
Wow super budget bike Harley... mostly waiting affordable price in India..... hats off...❤❤
Respect bro, u always be among the first to give the full details, openion and reviews. 👍
I appreciate that
How is the handling and dynamics as compared to RE Hunter 350 ? Appreciate your insights
As a female adv rider, i wanted to convert my sportster to a scrambler, but this would be ideal. I CANT BELIEVE IT WONT BE SOLD IN THE USA
Would Americans fancy a puny single cyl Harley?
@@motoroids Absolutely. Not all of us see the need for petrol guzzling big twins. Remember the early Buel/Harley days? 500cc Buell blast was a fun ride.

I did not expect review to come out this quick! Thanks Motoroids❤
Trust me, it is way better than the launch video!
Hero should pay for you!
Glad you liked it!
Looks much better in day light than in launch event 😅
Exactly what I wanted to say💙
@@parthapratimsarkar4680 rear looks odd . If we cut off rear seat and cut short the rear spring and make it low ride. Definitely hot rod.
@@kiranm2192 yeah that would be 🔥
Please tell us about the service part. Where one could buy it and where it will be get service
Can we service this bike in any hero service centre or not? That is the main question. If no then they making the same mistake like honda big wing.
my thoughts exactly...
In HD X440, as the rear suspension is adjustable in 7steps. Can the seat hieght be reduced from 805mm to some 10 to 15mm less?
Always be aware of the Mike, where it's placed. And always. ALWAYS check the video after the upload, watch as a viewer from a different so you can make necessary changes
After sales and servicing will be done by Hero or HD will do that ?
do we have a dedicated harley davidson showroom for test ride or is available someplace else?
The review is very good and detailed. We are able to understand most of the things. Thought of booking RE Classic 350, but i need to wait to have hands on this. Will it be comfortable for the pillion if we change the seats similar to RE Touring passenger seat.
Maintanence and service charge for this as well as where will i get it HD or Hero ?
where it will be sold? Hero showroom or Harley?
Which bike has good bulid quality, speed400 or x440
Cursorily looking, the Triumph 400 Twins look very well designed; they carry the Triumph essence in them. This Harley doesn't carry that brand's design language.

What about service cost and parts cost after purchasing??
Was waiting for review from motoroids , as always covered everything what i was looking for
Very much satisfied with review but i can understand your thoughts on negative aspects are projected very lightly as viewers are not much impacted from it. Appreciated.
I am thinking to book this little beast but Those spender silencer which looks like factory chimney, those dekstop cables hanging around handle looks ugly and also narrow splender seats, 170 mm ground clearance and not so soft suspension on Indian roads are making me to wait.
sir service cost kya ho ga ?
hum nay booking krwa liya hai
How is the engine heating? I think the mid variant is the most VFM. 20k price difference doesn't justify the top variant.
I like the front end and spoke and alloy wheels, however I would like to see less fendering at the rear with a low slung wheel huger at the back 😅plus a high flung exhaust
Detailed information provided. Really appreciate your work 👏
Thanks a ton
I wonder if the larger Harleys will continue to be sold in India alongside this one.
I had heard Harley has stopped production of its bikes in India.
Is there any slipper clutch and also Center stand, as its shown in images many times.
Your reviews are very detailed and awesome. Could you please tell me any components (engine or other parts), engineering in this bike which is originally from Harley Davidson?
Thanks. It's all new
Cruise the segment🔥
Fuel efficiency will be deciding factor were hero is master of producing fuel efficient bikes . Very few will migrate form lower cc bikes to HD400 if it fails on fuel count. RE is good in mileage
Specifications are good. But look is meh !
Although I need to replace my 10 years old motorcycle asap, I will wait for Himalayan 450. Till than it'll be also on road and I'll be able to gauge the servicing prices as well as other minor details.
By the way, this review is really nice and balanced. Props to you👐
Top speed with the wind and against the wind...so detailed....after your reveiws no data related queries are left
Nice Review for X440. I have few queries that i was planning to book RE Super Meteor 650 but now i am confused with whom to go. kindly clarify.
Its Great effort by Hero who brought HD to us at affordable price even before we criticise lets Congratulate! HERO MC 👏🏻

This vs super meteor 650, in riding comfort and handling, which one's better ??
Very comprehensive review, kudos. I'd love to see this motor plonked in the next xpulse.

Looks growing on me, not bad at all.
Where is the high beam, low beam switch? How are the lights at night?
Does it heat up like interceptor 650 in lower speeds??like driving in traffic
When will it be available for test ride and sale?in India
Right away

The color which you are riding is superb
yellow one looks awesome
Excellent presentation Amit,
every detail of the bike was spoken and shown,
May be time to go for it.
Thanks
Finally! someone mentions the cables. It would have made a big difference if they could have routed the cables along the handles instead of over them.
the body line of the bike is weird. the rear mudguard is looking offbeat to the remaining body. those who are saying hp is low then for this kind of bike torque is way more important and 38 nm is really nice.
Very informative videos u covered all the specifications of the bike , awesome review btw.I really want to buy this harley soon❤️
Glad you liked it
Impressed by the review.
i want to know onething who made this engine...hero or harley...
????
Is there any provision to decrease the seat height?
Those who did book this bike
Did you all get the mail from their representative about delivery and stuffs
If yes please reply to me
This fellow tells everything very clearly 👏👏👏
Such a best quality vedio . Good bro keep it up
Thank you so much 😀
Booked Today . Iam the 1 st one from kerala
Is it made with metal body or not
The real review I was looking for & needed ❤
What about mileage??
Has a cruise control..?
Competition is always fruitful. Very nice motorcycle with good sound.
The old cast iron engime bullet stil sounds the best
Price?
It's a good machine but one thing l want to know, how Harley will provide aftersales services....
Through Hero
@@motoroids that's the thing that made me worried. As I have seen, in metropolitan cities it will be just fine but in tier 2 or 3 cities, one can just speculate.
Bro.. When will be the RE HIMALAYAN 450 be launched..??
September 23.
How can I book this vehicle and what about after sales service?
V nice review. Is this engine made by HERO or HARLEY
Fantastic review and you touched all the right points. ✅️
Mileage?
Is this better than jawa bobber 42

Does it has double stand
Amazing Review, candid review at heart of manufacturer is commendable.👍🏻
How about Clutch. Is it hard ?
No it's not
Nice comprehensive and short introductory review. Kudos!

In city traffic, what is use of 5th and 6th gear ?
What you want to convey here?
Based on your ride what you think about long ride trips ? Will this bike be comfortable ?
200-300 km should be fine
One or two engine?
As always covered everything, good review
