Is this a real HARLEY-DAVIDSON? | The X440
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2023
- Hello,
The 'small' Harley-Davidson X440 is here & it has been receiving some flak from several quarters about its authenticity. But, I've ridden this motorcycle 3 times for more than 700 kms in total and I just can't get enough of it.
I love how it sounds, feels and rides and like they say, "yeh dil mange more".
So, in this video I share my thoughts and feeling on the X440 to dispel the popular opinion that this is not a 'real' Harley. Hope you find it informative and thought provoking.
Cheers!

No jazzy editing, no upbeat music, just Bosky’s narration coming right from his heart. What a delightful video to watch. Going to take a test ride this week :)
🙏🙌
True Bro
I own x440.. every single km give such a pleasure ❤ enjoying every single ride of it.. 🏍️
Good choice. Happy to hear from an owner.
Same feeling for me as well...I am also a proud owner of
HD X440S...It's a queen of the Highways..
All the new bikes are great, it’s only people who will never buy these bikes who like to come online and comment. I’m so fed up with this typical Indian nonsense of giving advice when nobody asked,
@jinsakai4954 😀👍
How's weight bro?
This is one of those bikes which doesn't look special in pictures, but looks awesome in person. This bike has very strong street presence, both in terms of looks and sound.
I agree when i saw it for the first time i was had a laugh until I saw it few months ago on street , that thump is what made me look at it .
Indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Agree
Beautiful narration sir . 👏👏😍 Loved it..you don't need any script writer for your videos infact as you mentioned yesterday. Just need someone to take pro level videos..I think as your channel grows you can graduate to that level. 👍👍
As you said this x440 needs to be test driven to see how good it is. I took one and was totally blown away. Just the feel from this bike was far superior to that of the adv390, himalayan 450 or any others in the segment..
Thanks. 🙏 And yes, a test ride is the true measure of what a product can mean to each. Personal choices and preferences. Cheers!
I own X440…. Enjoying every single ride. I love to ride this machine. Awesome I didn’t except this type of bike. Thanks Harley and Hero for give this beautiful machine.
Glad you enjoy it! Good to hear.
Hello brother.. i have booked mine just yesterday
But i have some real doubts regarding Its battery, i saw some videos where owners complain about some battery issue where the battery couldn't ignite the engine please help me and tell if you find any such problem and also if you can tell how long have you been having X440.
You are exceptionally good in explanation. Wanted to share the same experience with all which you did.have been riding this since past 2 months. Perfect.
Many thanks.
THE BEST video, made by you by far, and by far the only review
which has exactly captured the actual essence of the HD 440. Kudos to you sir. Well Done
Many thanks.
Amazing POV on the engine specs, bringing out the context on halving the 883 HD Iron.. a genuine feedback from an automobile fanatic... Kudos 👍
🙏👍
13:30 "ride it"
These are the 2 most important words spoken. Many people just look at paper specs and compare them and argue online rather than riding the bikes.
Real riding experience and comfort and joy can be quite different from paper specs, top speeds and err... professional reviewer's reviews... 😇
🙂 yes! And many haven't even seen one in real but choose to be critical and harsh in comments. Anyway that's social media. 🙏
Loved your video, especially the navi reference from avatar! I own an x440s and have driven 3k kilometres (mix of highways, city, ghat roads and a little bit of off roading as well) and still going strong! Not a single issue with the bike so far!
Thanks. Good choice and wish you happy motorcycling.
Bro are you getting the service indicator now and then?
Sir, I have a huge respect on the knowledge you have on the aspects of a motor cycle! After watching this, i am definetly gonna test ride tomorrow and buy one... Thank you for clearing all the doubts on this amazing characteristic RETRO motorcycle... Harley is a Dream come True. Many Thanks
So nice of you. Best wishes.
Didn't like the looks at first glance... I have a 14 model iron...but after watching this I'm definitely going for a test drive at the showroom...thanks...we love your unique style and presentation..
@@mangeshdehadray7979were you able to test ride? I heard you’ve got to pre-book and only then be allowed to test ride. If you did, what’d you think?
Thanks Bosky for enlightening us on this bike which didn't hog the limelight as other 2 contemporary models. When I visited HD showroom I was surprised to learn that it had stopped booking owing to over 25000 advance bookings , perhaps more than Triumph then. This video has lifted the veil about HD 440X and I hope that I like it after test ride ❤
👍🙂
I saw your video twice. Craftmanship, Brand-name, Sound, Specification, Marketing can create emotions, But as you said "There is nothing like a test drive". Feelings you get when you ride one is a true measure of an emotion. Really enjoyed your video!
Many thanks. 👍
Butter smooth narration...reminded me of my English teacher from my school days ..beautiful
🙂🙏
Really love the content on this channel and the reviews are really fun and interesting to watch .Hope to ride with you someday !!
Many thanks.
Love the way you review the bike it’s like listening to a story from all those years of experience you have love to hear all your stories it gives a unique perspective thanks for the review 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Coming from you sir, who has ages of experience of not just riding but also fixing the bike who understands how each parts works, surely means a thing. I own one and am in love with it. This is absolute city machine with torque to overtake the traffic and great cruiser for the highways !
👍👍👍
Hi sir,
Just booked mavrick 440 today as it shares moreover the same engine wanted to look more vids of hdx440 and I don't think one can find a better video than this, made my day 🙌🏽
🙏
Excellent unbiased analysis. Very well articulated in simple language. Great job, Bosky Ji. 👏 ❤. Your child like enthusiasm and impish smile just tugs the heart. 😊
Thanks a lot. Very kind of you.
This is the review i was looking for since an hour❤❤
🙏
Finally, thanks for the phenomenal review. People seem to bash on it when they compare it to the Speed 400 or Scrambler 400X. Two things, firstly, they're completely different classes of bikes, second, give this a test ride. This bike makes you feel something you haven't felt when riding other bikes.
Glad you liked it!
Superb video, superb bike. In the end 30-50k extra doesn't matter when you are buying a bike that you will keep for yrs and you arent buying it simply to go from point A to B, you cant put a price on the "feel" that we are all searching for.
Well said! 👍
I saw an x440 today in my small city and I come home and this video is on top of my recommendations.......Stars are aligning.
🙌
Your words will definitely increase the sales of this bike. Atleast 500 bikes. Nice vlog and that horse analogy 💚.
😀👍
Your narration is fluid just like x440's handling.
Amazing review sir...
Kudos🎉
Thanks a ton
I ride a 12 year old Classic 500 (Maroon). I love the low end torque and riding pleasure, but don't like the vibes and the unreliable nature of it. I've replaced the troublesome FI system with a Mikuni carburettor and the bike has transformed into a much better ride since then. I've been looking for an upgrade but I just haven't been able to find something close to my 500. This one, I must test ride. Thanks so much for this informative video. Love your narration - so simple and intelligent without unnecessary drama. Keep making more Big Bear.
Many thanks foe the kind words. You'll like the engine character of the X440.
Thts the reason I bought a Standard Bullet 500 in 2015. Still fives me smiles when I ride it. Hassle-free and a keeper.
@@santoshlekhak5269 I own the BULLET STANDARD 500 and it's a daily commuter. Occasionally on the highways too, it keeps well in the 80-100kmph band. The best thing is it gives a mileage of 34-38kmpl consistently despite all the mixes ride conditions and the mood❤
What a fantastic video! Evident emotion with it all laid out so logically! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been following your Instagram posts but didn't know you were here too. Loved the video and the details you shared. Thank you. Subscribed 😊
🙏🏻
First person who could agree that this is very much of a newer version with some features of a classic 500. My first lesson with bikes was on a classic 500 and the day I rode this on test drive it was weirdly nostalgic, picking your words the bond between a man and a machine initiated😂😅. I know I'm gonna enjoy this bike for all the time I have it. Lots of love for the mechanical sections of biking you cover on insta and I hope we get more people who are accepting towards the love people have for their own bike and are just maybe a tad bit less judgmental😂😂
🙌
Haven't heard such an honest review after a long time.Enjoyed ur videos sir.
Great work. Great knowledge. Great being.
🙏
completely agree...when I finished test ride, I felt don't stop keep riding...it was fun...Actually x440 is easy to ride like riding splendor in city and sounds amazing. I had booked Speed 400, but now I want this... much better than speed, less vibration than speed & comfortable.
🙌👍
Thank you sir
You explain so beautifully anyone can understand easily.
Yes , harley is a dream for many riders like me from small cities.
🙏
Another impressive and distinctive video. I am a new (aspiring) rider and not an expert, so I can’t compare this with the competitors but as an owner of X440 I must agree on few things you mentioned:
1) you said exactly what I feel after purchasing this. The price, Specs nothing mattered anymore. I love every mile with this motorcycle both in the city and in highways.
2) I recently did a 1500 ride (4 days trip with 2x600kms 1x320kms with one day rest) during the 600kms stretches the bike never changed its character and I was easily able to cruise between 90-105kmph without any vibrations and no difficulties. I am not a big fan of speeding so preferred not to exceed 110kmph.
3) I’m also a person who doesn’t get emotionally attached to inanimate things but there is something about this motorcycle that may make me attached to it.
🙏👍 nice to hear.
What was rhe mileage it delivered?
@@intercepted661 In the city 28-30 kmpl and in highways 30-36kms depends on the speed. I got 36kmpl when cruised between 75-90kmph. Got between 30-33kmpl when I cruised between 90-110kmph.
Overall during my 1500 kms ride my mileage was 32kmpl as an average.
I agree with all of your points, Sir, especially the one about "looking beyond the delivery experience". My experience with Triumph has been unique. It seemed they were doing us a favour by letting us into the showroom. We never felt welcome or at ease there. I think if we were in the market for a Tiger, maybe they would have listened. Plus we should have dressed for the occasion. My experience at the Hero showroom was exactly the opposite. The sales team was flustered and irritated and was least interested in sales. They were more concerned about their handling charges. I found the best and most consistent experience at RE. Despite all the problems with the vehicles, they sell because they connect and listen to the customers and make them feel special (whatever the customer's budget). I hope Triumph learns to deal with the lower end of the market and Hero learns to deal with the higher end of the market. It will take time and a lot of effort.
Well said and I echo your views. Hero is leaving how to handle non-Splendor customers and Triumph is learning bow to handle volumes. Hope they learn soon.
This is THE review i was looking for🙂 thank you boss🙏
Thanks.
Oh my, you mentioned the Classic 500, that's beautiful, no one has ever done that
Cheers!
Lovely narration! Every bit of it! ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
such a beautiful review sir ,i like the way you speak and explain with honesty .. 🙏🏻 ❤
🙏
Booked this beauty a month back, cant wait to start riding it 😫
Congrats 👍
I had a classic 500 from 2012 to 2019 ... Enjoyed it thoroughly; it was an enjoyable and addictive pain to own that motorcycle !
awesome!
Why pain? Because of the repairs etc?
becus of the vibes hitting ur balls@@DAB009
@@DAB009vibrations... Caused literal pains...
What a review man.....❤❤❤ excellent....
This review is nothing short of a symphony composed in the language of horsepower, delivering an awe-inspiring narrative that transcends mere mechanics. Prepare to be enchanted as the maestro behind the handlebars unveils the soul of this mechanical masterpiece, weaving words with the finesse of a true moto poet.
The throttle becomes a magic wand, and every twist unlocks a new chapter in the romance between man and machine. This review doesn't just dissect specifications; it crafts an epic tale of power, precision, and passion that resonates with the very essence of the open road.
Love from Kolkata. ❤❤❤
#Love x440
Salute to your poetry skills. 🙏
Thanks
The Thumpers will always be heart machines. They are pure charm to ride. Hero and Harley have done a fabulous job with this one. Eagerly waiting for upcoming bikes from the Hero Harley Collab and also the Classic 650.
Completely agree!
Excellent video. Have acquired X440 a few days back and fully cincur with your views. However I sorely miss the Heel pedal gear shift.
Congrats! Happy riding.
Bro what was your delivery period feom the day you booked
Best 440 review video in youtube.
I took test drive and i felt exactly like you have said.
🙌👍
I would certainly say that this is the review which is nicely done....great job Sir...keep it up
Thanks a ton.
very nicely explained sir.. i like the way you review motorcycles. you really know the soul of every motorcycle
Thanks.
Directly i am consider you as technical guruji of bikes. Keep it up sir. You are awesome.🎉
🙏
Amazing experience riding the Harley 440. Definitely, this is no sportsbike, not meant for top speed but the ride quality. You've explained it pretty well. Thanks.
We agree!
Great video. I had a standard 500 few years. I loved the thump. But very frequently I faced begin noise from the engine. Each time i had to shell out 10k + to fix it. Finally I had to sell it as it wasn't making any sense. I miss the thump though.
Thanks for sharing. Try this. Just a test rude. You'll like it.
Good review ! A short crisp detailed explanation with other bikes in that Categeory which clears common man’s and bike enthusiast’s !!
What about the pillion back support ? During my test drive I really had almost a fall ! Or else I agree all your points ! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful! Am yet to check on pillion comfort.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks and please check this point and suggest some suitable accessories in order to help people better .,Thanks 🤝🤝
Loved this one, waiting eagerly for the detailed experience of owning the Scrambler 400X
Thanks.
I have a RE TBTS, Meteor 350 and a Super Meteor 650. You have aroused my curiosity to go for a test ride. Id almost written off this bike, but you have made me seriously think. Thanks Bosky.
Try it. At least you'll get a first hand experience of what it is all about.
Thank you for the review. Just got mine delivered yesterday. And yes it has the harley DNA in it and may the legacy of harley be forwarded further with this bike.
Every Word came out of your mouth was really genuine and making sense.
Good to hear from a experienced legend like u.
Thanks again for the genuine, smiley and positive vibing review.
Keep that positive smile on the face forever.
Congrats! Best wishes.
And thanks for the kind words.
Bro in which month you booked hdx440????
@@Tanzx_21 took me 30 days for delivery in Hyderabad
Please share your pros and cons, if there is any defect as well. also mileage
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
2024 > X440 Harley for this 70 yr old , already booked, arriving in January. That’s my birthday gift. 🎉 C U on the road in Bengaluru.
Congrats! Best wishes.
Detailed explanation. The very fact i really enjoyed your review was the stress and pause while talking which makes it clear to viewers. Not at all in a hurry. I could connect well with the emotion you carried when talking about this machine. I really want to test ride this and go for it if it impress me.
I'm 6 feet tall n well built (100+ weight). How does this fit someone like me and any thoughts on the pillion space. Good enough?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Take a test ride with pillion! That's the best way to know.
Excellent description by the depth of your heart 💜 sir
Thanks.
I have BS4 Xpulse200T and this looks like big brother of it. I like HD can't buy now but I'm happy with what I have. Did 500km rides in a day just to say I like driving very much. Nice to hear your voice reminds me of Vividh Bharati. Good day to you (Y)
Thanks for sharing
What a review! I bet the sales are going to go up just because of this video
😀🙏
Unexpected highly knowledgeable review. Preconceived notions are completely wrong sometimes. Excellent.
Glad you think so! Thanks.
Amazing review Bosky Sir, some pointers around service / KM interval followed by dealership network will help.
Thanks. Will check on this information.
The proper bike review. Real bike enthusiast. I wish you should make more videos frequently on more vehicles.
🙏🏻
Finally this was my most awaited video topic .
🙏
Exactly
I love your explanation and mostly your expression Sir❤
Thank you so much
One of the best motor reviews of 2023.❤❤❤❤
🙏
A great review. I love singles, which is why I will be keeping my C500 , but the X440 is a bike I'd buy tomorrow. Pity its not coming to our country
👍
I wish every RUclips bike reviewers give a review like this honest and simple. 👌
🙏
Thanks for the review "HELLO" Sir, I still go for Honda CB-350 Engines who have a very smooth engine and a good long stroke to have a smooth and pleasant riding.
Good choice!
Sir, forget what you are saying in the video. Just the way you are smiling and smiling shows how much fun you had on this motorcycle 😊
😀🙏
Very well articulated. Only the kerb weight discourages me and a Honda CB 300R seems a friendly option at similar price for a Sr Citizen like me
Ride it and it belies it's weight on paper.
Nice review.. Exactly what i felt about my x440
Good to hear!
never tgought i would stumble across an uncle and love him so much talking about bikes!
😀🙏
Subscribed after watching 100s of yours shorts and this video. Liked Kannada vlogs most😊
👍🙏
Best engine for Indian roads 🚀
👍
I am Fan of both Typical and Bosy...😅
Nice to see two RUclipsrs respecting each other.....😊
I bought this on 1st February. My friend got it from the showroom to my place.. I did not know how to ride.. i learnd on this in 2 days and now i ride everyday.. Such a joy and pleasure
Great 👍
2:16 The bike actually looks gorgeous when you cover up the rear section from the seat with your thumb and look at it. Feels like there was realy potential to make it look 10x better.
👍
I own this bike and I tell you, the entire review given by Big bear is exactly what I want to echo back.. This machine is amazing man.. There is some emotion that you will definitely feel every time you ride this bike… Smoothness of engine at low mid and high end, comfort, and a required power/torque. No one match these 3 things currently in market..
Great to hear!
I was really skeptical once this bike was launched. But a friend bought it and I had a similar experience on my first ride. The essence of why we fell in love with early REs can be found in this Harley only. Today's RE does not have that thumper feeling. The sheer joy of riding this bike can only be understood once u ride it.
👍
After this beautiful vlog I just test ride it yesterday, now im confused between cb 350 n hd440 x . As you said its a mixture of cb 350's quality n bullet's Character and What a thumper sir. So solid, didnt felt weight , engine heat is there , feels confident, very impressive , finally SPEEDO console's a CRAP😂 and I dont mind it, hero harley must fix it
🙏👍
Such a amazing RUclipsr/reviewer
🙏
Awesome Review truly heart touching
🙏
There's something simple and elegant about your videos... Even if i don't understand some mechanical stuff i get the overall idea😅
😀🙏
new way of review DIL SEH MashaAllah very truthful. Keep it up sir.
Many many thanks.
Look no further ! Fantastic review you sounded more like a poet though. Loved it 👍🏼❤️
Oh thank you!
You're an amazing storyteller sir. Huge fan!
I would like to understand how X440 compares with Triumph's Scrambler 400.
Thanks. Will check on this video possibility.
He is so much a kannadiga, I can literally translate his speech to kannada and feel it so authentic. Thanks for such a beautiful review. I am going to book it soon
🙏🙏🙏
At first I'm biased regarding rear look of this bike , but when i saw the bike in person in btm layout struck in traffic 😂 gave me ample time to observe and talk with owner and it turned out to be beautiful machine with minor corrections.
Yes, true.
Does not matter if Hero made it in India. The fact that Harley thought about Indian customers and built a bike from scratch is the most impressive thing from a company that sells bike in range of 12-25 Lakhs. Harley could have sold the Chinese version but they did no. Kudos to Harley for actually putting efforts in this product.
👍
Just the narration made to listen it all the time....I was having bafflment in between 350rs and HD.And you cleared it.I hardly find the exact comparision in between the 2.
🙏
All it requires to me is handling & this can fits me well ❤️
👍
Suspension was a gem in addition to engine and gearing. Can be an allrounder bike - touring, adventure, commute...
👍
Such a positive feedback for the first time 🥰
🙏
This is my most favourite channel
🙏
Sir i was a fan of Iron 883 in my 20’s yesterday while i was parking my car i heard a sound that turned my head, gave me nostalgia like felling, it was the sound of HD X443 , i was amazed, only people those loved iron 883 will understand my emotion
🙌
Thanks for video sir. You have been comparing with Honda CB350 and Harley 440. Anything you would like to touch on Mileage, Maintenance Cost and experience with Hero is the worry.
Mileage was aboit 30+ and maintenence I don't expect anything too high.
Sir explain like Master.... Bike Master.... very nice explanation Sir.❤
Thanks ✌️

Fortunately i Have one !! Every aspect of ur dis beautiful narration is damn true sir.
🙌
Thanks for another excellent video.
Being an air cooled 440cc does it get too hot if ridden nonstop more than 100 km or changes the characteristics?
No it doesn't get too hot.
This is coming straight from the heart Bosky.. in a way am glad that I couldn’t make it. Straight from the heart❤❤❤ couldn’t have kept it up with you
😀🙏 you could have added more value for sure. Next time. 👍
