Flawed and overpriced, this is the Harley-Davidson X 350.
Normally I run with the idea that there are no bad motorcycles, but this bike really pushed the envelope on what I call acceptable.
Disappointing at best, and downright bad at worst.

I didn’t know they actually sold these. Im pretty sure they were designed for their riders academy as training bikes. Just got my endorsement on one.

I believe it is important for HD to branch out and expand their line-up into other markets, but unless you do a great job right out of the gate, then there is no second chance of first impressions.

100%. From what I’ve seen it looks like many buyers are those who want the badge and are willing to look past its flaws.

Yuk. Why don't Harley do a real small cruiser, like the Virago 250? A bike that sounds and looks like a Harley, just smaller? This is atrocious.

They did, the Street 500. It was discontinued due in part to being too expensive to produce. To this day ticket examples sell for between $8k-$10k here in NZ

@@Peter.A-A LO, yeah, no, something smaller, for beginners and licences limited to lighter bikes, as most of Europe has, for example. Sub 500cc. 90% of bikes here in Spain in are smaller, even for "big" bikes, most are 600cc or less.

Looks cool, and 360° crank is a unique sound these days from a parallel twin. Close your eyes and pretend it’s an RC30 or W800 or BMW boxer 😂 Otherwise a heap

With an all of the LAMS bikes you not actually allowed to put exhausts etc on them to improve performance. My Kawasaki Z650RS I am not allowed to put the full power ECU version of the map on. Because Kawasaki never sold the full power version here in Australia.

Amen. Harley has been asleep at the switch for decades now, assuming their Boomer demographic would keep them afloat on nostalgia and skull-motif jewelry alone. In the process they’ve forgotten how to make motorcycles.

It will be the same as the other Harley’s. It will be only adequate off the showroom floor until for the stage 1-4 upgrades are fitted. 😉

Yep that’s why they had to go this route. I spoke to the MD of the ANZ region and he said that to build a bike in this class in house HD wouldn’t be able to price it competitively. Like, it’s still not priced competitively (MT03 is $1000 cheaper and is better equipped) but they are in the market. Sadly for them I think the only people buying these are the ultra brand loyal folks because anyone shopping around will pretty easily be able to see its flaws.

Unless you are enthusiastically ready to drop $15,000 US AT A MINIMUM, H-D thinks you are not worth their time and they would just as soon you not sully their showroom with your presence. They have never been able to produce a quality entry-level motorcycle, much less one that is price competitive. The Street 500/750 and the Buell Blast are the cases in point. Their asking price for this 350 is on par with the infinitely better Honda Rebel 500, and it's well above the infinitely better Kawasaki Eliminator 450. Heck, I could get a Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 for about $700 more.
