The "DO-RAG" crowd will have a field day, when / if these bikes hit the USA shores...
Riding Academy only in the US apparently: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I_TqvTRY-C0&feature=shares
I didn't watch the videos, but my daughter took the Harley academy training on a street 500, and now it looks like the "X" is going to take that roll..I find it ironic, that a company wanting to bring in new riders are using bikes that they don't sell to train on.
I like where this is going, a Chinese company buys the name to Benelli, a former Italian maker of some wonderful motorcycles and then brands them as a Harley Davidson to offer a small displacement bike to the American market……. In 1960 Harley Davidson buys 50% of Aermacchi, rebrands the small displacement 250cc Ala Azzurra as a Sprint and the rest is history. Nothing is new.
I gotta say its really not a bad looking bike. I would think that a small bike in the US they would really need to lower that seat height a little though. Looks like lots of room to do that though. Really too bad that HD culture over the past 50 years has been to run off all that don't ride the "real bike" big twin.
I keep hearing “Harley Culture “. Mostly by those who don’t ride a Harley. There are Harley riders from all walks of life. There are those in any group that piss on those that don’t ride the right bike. When I joined Wild Guzzi it was the If you don’t ride a big block you don’t really belong here group. I was wondering about the Guzzi Culture.
That's not true. I have been on this board for well over 20 years. As I recall WG started prior to the introduction of the Breva 750, the first of the modern small blocks. And since that beginning through today the culture of this board certainly didn't piss on small block owners at any point. Sure there may have been an individual or two who had a stick up their keister, but it certainly wasn't the culture here.
So Harley is introducing new riders to smaller, lightweight small displacement easy to maneuver motorcycles to learn on?That just doesn’t sound like a proper thought out business plan to me…..
