Pros Cons of Harley-Davidson X440

Pros

  • Seating posture is like the Royal Enfield Classic 350, but it is slightly lighter for easier handling. 
  • Its oil-cooled single-cylinder engine pulls strongly from just 2,000 rpm while showcasing a brawny exhaust note. 
  • It has Bluetooth connectivity for music and turn-by-turn navigation, while the top variant adds eSIM-based functions like geo-fencing and remote engine immobilisation. 
  • A trellis frame with upside-down front forks delivers eager, planted, and predictable handling. 
  • Well-judged six-speed gearbox uses a light clutch action which makes city commutes effortless. 
  • The brakes have dual-channel ABS and offer a sharp initial bite and progressive feedback. 
  • You can benefit from relaxed high-speed cruising at about 90-100 kmph. 

Cons

  • Once you cross 4,500 rpm, there is some engine buzz through the handlebars, footpegs, and seat.
  • Fit and finish feels inconsistent, especially around the headlamp plastics, rough frame welds, and loose panel shut lines.
  • Front brake lever travel feels long, and fouls with your fingers holding the throttle during hard braking.

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson X440 gives you traditional roadster ergonomics with impressive real-world riding dynamics. The excellent low-end torque, an entertaining exhaust thump and composed cornering manners help take the fight to Royal Enfield’s established 350 cc rivals.

What does not go in its favour are the mid-range vibrations and improper fit/finish like the rough plastic bits. Even then, if you want to own a Harley Davidson with good everyday usability and engaging road manners, the X440 does actually stand out.

Verdict

Harley-Davidson launched the new Nightster in India at a starting price of Rs 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned below the Sportster S, Harley-Davidson categorises the Nightster under the brand's “sport” category. It is powered by the company’s new Revolution Max 975T v-twin engine which makes 88.5 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 95 Nm of peak torque at 5,750 rpm. It is stylish motorcycle but not the most practical. But if it is a style statement you want to make, few motorcycles do it better than the H-D Nightster.
