I just got PSVR2, first VR experience ever and was about to return it until I tried this game. This really was the best experience I've had in VR, everything is crystal clear, huge, terrifying and fun as hell.
Saw this vid and had to go check one out. Nearly fell for a Street 500 and then I sat on one of these , fit like a glove and bought it that day! Absolutely love this bike for commuting around town, to gym etc. After 500km's and thru the wear in period , it just keeps getting better and after it's warmed up properly those pops, bangs and burbles get real gnarly on the downshifts just adding to the experience. Liquid cooled and electronic fuel injection I know some in old boys club are going to hate it but I don't care, I think Harley is heading in the right direction.
This is just a Royal Enfield with the Harley badge, so I'd rather just be honest and ride a Royal. I'm sure they're both great, but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
I ride a 2020 Royal Enfield Classic 500 and am looking for a more usable highway friendly 80klm each way bike. Love the upright position and the mid controls and that they use the reliable Benelli motor and tranny.
You did well, a lot of people hate the fact that HD should've sticked producing their own motorcycles. But that wouldn't be possible a couple of years from now if they haven't collaborated with QJ Motor of China and Hero Corp of India. Their collaboration with QJ Motor also made a great sale with the QJ Motor SRV250,300 & 400 which I believe HD receives a royalty. Those Harley X300 & X500 manufactured by QJ is a huge step up to attract younger and beginner riders into the brand. I just hope they'll have a long term collaboration with QJ Motor which is one of the most important manufacturer in China. Great review. Ride safe.
You're right, and looking at bike sales across all brands in Europe, North America and Aus/NZ it is silly to focus on the demand of just these regions. The collabs with Hero and now QJ are a big flex by the bar and shield moving in to the ASEAN and Indian markets where absolutely everybody rides bikes. There's a big market to capture and HD is going for it. Good on em I rekon. I look at the 2024 Heritage Classic, for example, and I think like wow what a timeless classic. They will never really go out of style. But these new offerings, like the new Sportster S with the RevMax engines and now the x350 and x500 are for a wider audience and IMO Harley has nailed it and I think have an exciting future in Australasia with these new designs, tech and big production collabs.
@@nicox500 Exactly my point. And to think that QJ itself, made possible with their collaboration with Harley. Makes bikes looks so similar with a Harley. (SRV125,200,250,350,600 & 400) that I believe gives HD a royalty which in turn gives HD another profit. I mean, HD should have done this a long time ago. A lot of people likes to go into the brand but they couldn't. Which in turn can change minds with a cheaper options (Japanese and other chinese brands. Even indian brands like RE).
You'd be pushing it, but at that height you're going to be limited anyway, if you swapped out to some taller MX bars you might be okay? - best thing is to have a sit / test ride and see for sure
Harley ate bringing out a great selection 👌 i love all the new liquid cooled bikes not before time. I went out and bought a sportster s as i was done with the air cooled bikes was going another brand but then the bikes rolled out so i stuck with the brand. Its a great bike as i love sport bikes but at 53 wanted more relax and its great fast and relax ❤ surprised me how comfortable it iis.
You are so lucky to be the first to ride the X500 The engine sounds good and seems pretty powerful for a learner bike. Glad you tested the A350 aswell. The only thing I do not like is the press to cancel on the indicators. I would want to change that, But thats just my opinion. Really good bikes though by the looks of them and everything you would expect from a Harley.
