I could begin this review by talking about how middle-class aspirations are growing at the same rate as the middle-weight motorcycle market and all that, but let me begin with something more relatable - the aloo tikki burger. This popular Indian snack, with its delectable toasted bun, perfectly cooked potato patty, and just the right amount of spices for a flavorful kick - all at an affordable price - allows for a perfect analogy for all that the Royal Enfield Classic 350 has to offer. It's not easy for a foreign brand to come in and convince me that they can offer something better. Unless, we are talking about an American brand, with years of heritage under its belt and the coolness factor that makes grown men drool.
DESIGN & FEATURES
The new Harley-Davidson X440 definitely has unique styling compared to anything in Harley's current line-up. It beautifully blends the characteristics of a cruiser and a roadster and more or less looks like a perfect fusion between the Iron 883 and the first-gen Ducati Monster. Personally, I find the design quite appealing. Elements like the teardrop-shaped fuel tank, rounded LED headlamps, machine-cut alloys, contoured single-piece seat, and oval LED taillamp all contribute to its captivating aesthetics.
In terms of features, the H-D X440 certainly doesn't lag behind. The standout feature of the bike is the single-pod digital instrument cluster, which offers Bluetooth and mobile connectivity options Additionally, the bike comes equipped with a USB charging socket as standard for added convenience. Other notable features include LED headlamps with 'Harley-Davidson' embossed on the DRL cluster, LED taillamp and indicators, and a light sensor that automatically turns on the main beam when the ambient light conditions become too dim.
