i think they are the best small bikes Harley ever sold. Brembo clone triple discs with stainless steel lines. ABS, 100% LED lighting. premium tires. 50mm inverted front forks. adjustable front and rear. great exhaust sound for 500cc bike. great fuel mileage and light weight. i understand these bikes are built to bring in new riders and not built for the die-hard HD fans. two thumbs up from me.
Your right, these bikes are targeted at a specific demographic but I am seeing some HD lovers that might not be able to purchase a larger bike purchase these just for the brand. They definitely have a bit of fruit on them as well. Cheers HR
People will wear what they feel comfortable wearing, it really doesn’t need your comments on my videos to try and persuade new riders to wear whatever. If you feel comfortable in full protective gear, great. If you didn’t wear any gear at all, great, I’m not going to tell anyone what they can and can’t wear. At the end of the day it comes back to the risk that people are prepared to take.
Hi Brad, maybe so but don’t forget about the draw card of the Harley Davidson brand, love or hate Harley it doesn’t matter people will always want to own a Harley even if it is a 350 or 500. They have deadset developed this ride for learner riders. Cheers HR
@@HarleyRumble Good points. I too was one that only after the kids made it out on their own... Finally got that big Harley. Actually speaking it was my second. My First was for my 12th birthday in 1972..dad and grandpa bought me a AMC/Harley Davidson 65cc Shortster. Those were not such good times for the company. So it may be that I'm remembering the last time Harley Davidson built small bikes. They were pretty much Italian made junk... except for their Moto Cross bike...I guess we shall see...Best Regards!
G’Day Pete, Jacob is still working on that, for the technical side of things if you are interested best to contact Gleeson’s and talk to the team. As these bikes are so new I’m guessing it will take awhile for any aftermarket to appear as well. Cheers HR
@GPz84 come on mate, Harley are trying to break into a different level of rider. I was only speaking to a guy yesterday at my dealership who buy the way has owned softtails and tourers before who has just purchased the x 500, he was over the moon with handling, comfort and performance. Reliability yet to be determined but he was very happy with his purchase. Cheers HR

To all lams learners... wear gloves and protective gear. Not like the host riding this bike

I remember when I discovered I had man boobs. That 92 Sportster was great
😂😂
I like this more than the revamped sportster. They look chunky in a good way.
G’Day ShanHaq, yes that was one thing that took me by surprise the first time I put eyes on them. Neat little package. Cheers HR
Looks like these are the bikes that are being manufactured through QJ motors in China. Headlight looks similar.
Hi mate, you would be on the money with that comment. Cheers HR
Totally AGREE , BIKES ARE UGLY WON'T SELL IN THE US .
Qj 250s sounds better. Vtwin
@iqeen I believe that these are a inline twin, some sort of aftermarket pipes maybe to improve sound. Cheers HR
Harley making smaller bikes in the 500cc class will work out about as good as Coke Zero...
Too many, better 500cc bikes out there...they will flop

Hey Brad, yeah mate time will tell the story. Cheers HR
Coke Zero is amazing though?
@@Christopher-so4dn 😂😂
We have the x440 in our country, but they should've brought the X500 instead
Great coverage of the new bikes HR
looking forward a follow-up in the months to come.
Thanks Kook
I believe the only reason Harley made these was so they can be in countries that don't allow bikes over 500cc
I think your a little off the mark there mate
@@HarleyRumble well these bikes have been released only in countries that don't allow a certain cc but I'm just some guy on the Internet
Mate, they have been released in Australia so your theory is out the window. My Harley is 1800cc
@@HarleyRumble my bad g I'm just here to learn
All good mate
Harley Davidson Motor CO would be quite daft if they doesn't start selling these in Europe. I mean they would sell like hot cakes for sure!
Seem like decent little bikes. The prices are way out of line.
G’Day Daniel, they are a decent package but like anything these days you’re going to pay for it. Cheers HR
It's a CHarley!
So is it possible to lower the 350 or 500?, as you edited out the answer.. or is that a mod that we need to wait for from aftermarket parts?
G’Day Pete,
Jacob is still working on that, for the technical side of things if you are interested best to contact Gleeson’s and talk to the team. As these bikes are so new I’m guessing it will take awhile for any aftermarket to appear as well. Cheers HR
how nice of them to make bikes for little asian girls. now everyone can ride harleys.
What the phuck are you talking about?
The only thing Hardly makes is bikes for chicks.
Carefull y😂ou'll hit a nerve,all the tough guys will come out.
Looks great! Not available in Canada or USA, yet. Why?
G’Day, I’m not sure why they haven’t been released in Canada or the US. I would have thought they would have been released there first. Cheers HR
ARE YOU KIDDING ME , THEY LOOK AWEFUL , AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANY HARLEY , THEY WON'T SELL IN THE US , YOU WATCH . MADE IN INDIA .
Because nobody in Canada wants that shite.
