Combining Harley-Davidson and QJ Motor, a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, has resulted in two products known as X350 and X500. The engine equipped for the Harley-Davidson X350 and X500 is the same as the engines found on the Benelli 302S and Leocino 500.
Hence, X350 and X500 are undoubtedly the most affordable motorcycles from the American motorcycle brand. The manufacturer announced that the X350 of Harley-Davidson will share the platform with the Benelli 302S, while the X500 will share the platform with the Leoncino 500 in China.
Harley-Davidson X350 will be equipped with a twin-cylinder 353cc engine, delivering 36 horsepower. On the other hand, the X500 will feature a 500cc engine with a power output of 47 horsepower. The X350 can reach a maximum speed of 143 km/h, while the 500cc model can reach a maximum speed of 159 km/h.
Based on the leaked images, both bikes showcase round LED headlights, a crescent-shaped body, integrated seats, and wide handlebars. The bikes are equipped with USD front forks, single shock absorbers at the rear, and disc brakes both front and back. Apart from the Harley-Davidson emblem and colors, the overall structure is derived from Benelli models.
Once released, the Harley-Davidson X350 will compete with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350, and Benelli Imperiale 400. On the other hand, the X500 will rival the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and Benelli 502C.
