Harley-Davidson has been causing quite a stir in the Indian market recently, thanks to the launch of the X440. This model marks the launch of the only single-cylinder-powered motorcycle in Harley-Davidson modern lineup, and seeks to welcome beginner riders, as well as those on a tighter budget, into the Harley-Davidson fold.
That being said, with a price tag of Rs 239,000, or about $2,871 USD, per current exchange rates, the Harley-Davidson X440 is still well and truly a premium model that’s beyond the reach of most Indian motorcyclists. Yes, you could say it already has the smallest engine – perhaps too small of an engine – to be considered a “real” Harley, but it’s important to take context into account here. The Indian market is dominated by motorcycles with engines smaller than 250cc. As such, machines like the X440 are considered “big bikes” in India. Naturally, big bikes come with a big price tag, and that is indeed true with the X440.
