MOTORCYCLES IN AUSTRALIA

A duo of powerful, lightweight and agile motorcycles designed for the urban rider.

Sydney, Australia (September 1, 2023) – In its 120th year of innovation, Harley-Davidson today announced two new Harley-Davidson X™ motorcycles available in Australia, designed specifically with the urban rider in mind - Harley-Davidson X™350 and Harley-Davidson X™500.

All elements of both the Harley-Davidson X™350 and Harley-Davidson X™500 have been designed to offer a comfortable riding experience, blending form with function to create a perfect harmony allowing riders to focus on the joy of riding and expressing their individuality.

The ergonomics put the rider in a relaxed, upright riding position. Suspension is tuned for a compliant ride on rougher roads, and the front and rear suspension is adjustable for rider preference. The seat is wide and well-padded for long-range comfort. The chassis, suspension and tyres combine to offer confident handling.
