American Dream on two wheels. But for many, that dream came with a very high price tag. That is all about to change. The motorcycle giant is breaking from tradition in a big way, announcing a brand-new, affordable entry-level bike designed to welcome a whole new crowd to its legendary brand.
Design: A Modern Twist on a Classic Look
Harley has not thrown out its style playbook. At first glance, you’ll know it’s a Harley. It has that classic, muscular stance that makes the brand so recognizable on the road. However, they’ve given it a fresh, modern update.
Think of it as a sportier, more agile version of its bigger brothers. The seat is lower, making it much less intimidating for new riders. The handlebars are positioned for comfort, not an extreme stretch. It’s designed to look cool sitting still but feel even better when you are moving. It’s a perfect blend of the old and the new, sure to turn heads without scaring off beginners.
Engine Performance: Power Meets Manageability
The heart of this new machine is a liquid-cooled, 750cc V-Twin engine. This is a key detail. While it carries the iconic V-Twin rumble Harley is famous for, the liquid-cooling makes it more efficient and reliable for daily city riding.
This engine is built for real-world riding. It provides plenty of power for getting on the highway and passing with confidence, but it’s not so overwhelming that a new rider will feel nervous. The power delivery is smooth and predictable, making it the perfect engine to learn on and grow with.
Mileage: Finally, a Harley That Sips Fuel
This might be the biggest surprise of all. Harley-Davidson and “great gas mileage” haven’t always gone together. This new bike changes that narrative completely. The company is reporting an impressive 35 km per liter (approximately 82 MPG).
Features: Built for the Modern Rider
The bike comes loaded with modern features that new riders will appreciate. Expect a digital instrument cluster that gives you all the info you need at a quick glance. It also includes modern safety aids like ABS, a crucial feature for preventing wheel lock-up during hard stops, especially for those still building confidence.
Price: The Most Shocking Number of All
Harley-Davidson with a 750cc engine, that is an almost unbelievable price $4,500. It firmly places this motorcycle in the territory of its Japanese competitors, but with the unmatched allure of the Bar and Shield logo on the tank.
This strategic move is Harley biggest bet yet on attracting students, young professionals, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of owning one but couldn’t justify the cost. It’s an invitation to a new generation to start their journey and become part of the Harley-Davidson family.
