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. ❤
  • @M4NA5
    This is more like world’s costliest Hero rather than the world’s most affordable Harley and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
  • @AIoneHBK918
    Hero still didn't forget its signature - "that red spark plug cover"😂😂
  • @90zkid
    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.

    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.
  • @shashanksaikumar
    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 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.
  • @loveself4948
    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.
  • @bikersaran4492
    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 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...
  • @zainalizaidi5852
    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.
  • @Rick-nx3iy
    Only matter now is the after market service. The bike is just stunning
  • @Shobhit261
    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. 👏👏👏.
  • @hlo3754
    Great bike ,I don't know why I have been seeing too much hate for this bike,it looks great and has a beautiful engine along with some great features ❤for just a price of 2.29 ex ,the one who hate are the one s who doesn't even own a goodbike .
  • @piyushquicker4330
    It's actually a great bike.And honestly this is my top pick bike between Highness and Meteor.
  • @daneshmaximus3707
    great initiate by hero and HD. I wish the after sales service is provided with the expected quality so that they could bring the RE centric buyers to try new motorcycle. Also I hope this motorcycle gives the exact vibe of the actual harley davidson which was nearly a dream to most of the middleclass Indian youths. Happy business HERO HD ❤🎉
  • Hero lives up to its name. Feeling proud that Indian motorcycle companies are pulling off remarkable feats
