The front of the motorcycle is quite chunky, and dominated by the large square-ish fuel tank, while the rear gets a sleeker look. Though not seen in these latest images, we know that the instrumentation will be fully digital, and take the shape of a round single pod. Areas like the polished cooling fins on the engine, and the fasteners across the motorcycle all point towards this. Overall, there seems to be high attention to detail across the motorcycle, and fit levels appear quite good. The headlight gets an LED DRL bar running across the centre, while the indicators sport some neat detailing, with Harley logos at the centre. There is a theme of circularity seen across the headlights, indicators and mirrors, while the tail-lamp is an oval-shaped pod that sprouts from the rear fender. The final drive is in the form of a chain, making this only the second modern-day Harley after the Pan Am to employ chain-drive. You could even see as high as 40Nm from this motor, which should make for a fairly effortless urban experience. Given its displacement, and the fact that it is oil-cooled, it is likely to be a good deal more powerful and torquey than something like a Royal Enfield Classic 350 (20hp/27Nm).
At its heart is a meaty-looking, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that we now know will displace 440cc. Not a lot has changed on the motorcycle since the first pictures emerged, but these new shots do give us a clearer look at the motorcycle. LED headlight, fully-digital instrumentation.Oil-cooled, single-cylinder 440cc engine.Called the X 440, this bike is the first machine to come from Harley's partnership with Hero MotoCorp, and looks more like H-D's old XR roadsters than its trademark cruisers, sporting a flat handlebar, neutral ergos and a butch design. A little under two months since we first laid our eyes on Harley-Davidson's upcoming made-in-India bike, the company has officially revealed the machine.
