With a starting price of Rs 2.29 lakh, the Harley-Davidson X440 is a mouth watering proposition. A quick ride at Hero MotoCorp’s test track reveals that the X440 offers a significantly enhanced version of the much loved RE riding experience. Rishaad Mody shares the experience.

The people worrying about harleydavdison losing its exclusivity and prestige should also realise that harleydavdison is on the brink of bankruptcy and this bike is probably the one of the most sensible decisions they've ever made because through this they can continue existing

KTM Bajaj. Triumph Bajaj. BMW TVS. Hero Harley.

It speaks volumes about India and its automotive progress. ❤

This is more like world’s costliest Hero rather than the world’s most affordable Harley and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I have been watching this bike's reviews since yesterday but no one explains the bike better than Rishaad Mody. You explain everything a buyer needs to know without extending the video above the required time. What an asset for Autocar India channel.

I am not into bikes at all as am more of a car person. But boy what a nice bike. It looks attractive. Looks like Harley has got their act together with local collaboration. Good review Rishaad.

Hero still didn't forget its signature - "that red spark plug cover"😂😂

[zkid]

Harley nailed it with the pricing, and so did Triumph. But one thing is for sure, RE is going to have some sleepless nights in the future.

We Indian too deserve to drive HD. Hero did a good collaboration with HD. I’m looking forward for this. I’m worried about high traffic and lack of good roads in the city.

The X440, Meteor 350 and CB350 all cater to different types of riders. Meteor is for the fuss-free, relaxed rider, X440 is for the tourer, and the Honda is for someone who wants a spirited retro experience.

I think RE will now finally feel the heat of competition...all this years they enjoyed near monopoly in this segment...now Triumph and Harley will take a good chunk of RE market...

[zainalizaidi]

I do agree with Rishad that initially the Harley X440 has succeeded in making a successful impression (a good team effort by the Hero-Harley Davidson partnership.

[debarpitchandan]

Kudos to Hero and Bajaj for stepping up the game🇮🇳❤️

[Rick-nxiy]

Only matter now is the after market service. The bike is just stunning

[BikerSaran]

Erstwhile we had Hero with Honda, and presently the Honda moved on and here we have Hero Harley. Seems unbelievable but true. There are quite a few interesting and exciting lineups getting ready for the release ❤️

I'm an American that also lives in Mexico 🇲🇽 and would love this motorcycle to be here especially for the price. No knock to China but they only Imitate and India innovates.

[simmongirri]

This bike is actually the Splendor of Harley davidson

[glaxonkalarikkal]

Hero lives up to its name. Feeling proud that Indian motorcycle companies are pulling off remarkable feats

[Shobhit]

In India, Within 5 years, not only Harley Davidson will start launching more heavy duty bikes, but will also offer more, to its customers, in terms of price, quality and affordability too. This is a very good start. 👏👏👏.

[EmotoZ]

Although i dont think the average indian rider would have knowledge of the legendary XR series of harleys from the past (hence the odd looking tail comments) Hero has nailed it with the pricing and this will be a good option in an already good sea of options like the great highness 350 or the Classic 350.

It’s been over two decades since I last rode a bike but this review and the bike does pull a string in my heart to head over to the showroom buy one! Can’t wait!!
