This is the worst bike I've ridden in years | Harley-Davidson X 350 Test Ride
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.

Harley-Davidson's X 350 | Premium price - cheap feel

YOU CAN DO BETTER | A Harley-Davidson X 350 Review
Просмотров 303Месяц назад
It's easy to pick on Harley-Davidson, for many want the crown of the most famous name in the game. But sometimes even the greats drop a dud and that is sadly the conclusion I came to on the X 350 which entered the most cutthroat segment in motorcycling in Australasia. Sadly for Harley, the X 350 falls short in the class due to poor quality compared to its peers, a lack of tech and a price point...

    Sat on one last week but no test ride as they’re all sold out and it felt the perfect riding position for me - comfortable like sinking into my favourite armchair, both feet flat and that ‘sit in’ rather than ‘sit on’ feeling like most adventure bikes. If it rides half as good as it feels then it’s my next bike. Sounded epic too when the dealer fired it up.

    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.

      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.

  • @nevillegreg1
    @nevillegreg1 13 дней назад

    .... and also a fold-in gear shifter and decent carry rack as standard plus a very decent sounding stock exhaust (you wonder why other manufactures make their stock exhaust sound like a sewing machine and say it's due to EPA, then offer a different exhaust as an additional cost option and which is also street legal). You are right, the Chinese looked at the competition and listened to what the people wanted and provided many riders with what they have been asking for - a smaller comfortable adventure bike that is off-road biased and can easily handle highway speeds without the vibration of a single. And while on paper it appears the 450MT is not so light weight, especially compared with say a dual sport, however, CFMoto have put that weight in a low centre of gravity package making the bike not top-heavy at all. I think if the 2nd Gen 450MT comes standard with cruise control it will be the unicorn that many have been looking for. There is a company in Asia that has already made a quick-shifter for the bike.

      Claimed dry weight is 175kg, so it is around there. 17.5 litres of fuel, couple of litres of oils, battery etc would put it around that 195-200kg mark. It looks substantial, especially from behind the bars with the tank fearing out in front of you but the narrow subframe means I can flat foot it with both feet. It’s quite easy to manage. I’ve not tried to put it on the ground and pick it up though 😅
