I think it's a good looking bike. I'm not looking for a new bike at this time as I have no more room in my garage but I could see buying a 300-400cc street bike someday. It will be interesting to see if Harley decides to sell it here. If they want to attract younger riders they need some thing lighter and less expensive than anything in their current lineup.

Harley Davidson X500 and X350
- Thread starter cabanza
- Start date
The article I linked mentions an RA version and so does CARB. It looks like the RA would be a Riding Academy bike that would be available to dealers. The article also mentioned a power difference between the RA and the other 2 bikes. I think 26 HP instead of 36? Anyway, I think Harley would hit a homerun if they would teach new riders on this bike.
So HD X350 or Triumph Street/ Scrambler 400? Or HD X350 or Triumph Street/ Scrambler 250? Or Honda CL300?

Kawasaki Z400 ABS | Naked Motorcycle | Aggressive Z Styling
The Kawasaki Z400 ABS naked motorcycle exudes fresh street style, powered by the same 399cc engine as the Ninja 400. Comfortable, balanced and capable, the Z400 is sure to turn heads.
360 lbs wet with a 200 mile range
I have ridden both the Z400 and Ninja400 and was very impressed with both bikes. They are cramped for a tall rider but that can be fixed with a taller seat or seat cushion.
I think if Kawasaki would make a Z400RS, it would fix the ergos and the ugly.

Rider's Edge program. I witnessed this and set up a $40k bike for the participant. Actually was very successful. But dont ride with em. They would freak on gravel or grass.
Yes I heard the same thing. But it means that if the RA is out, the other version should be introduced soon. I wonder how the die hard fans feel about a 100% Chinese bike sold as a Harley...
It is just for the Harley riding school because HD could not use a Honda,etc. I am surprised that HD did not get a smaller bike for the riding school.
There are 2 versions of the bike, one being for the riding school, dubbed X350RA
While a smaller bike might be easier for beginners to handle, they don't want the jump to a"real" Harley to be too great.
