Know About Harley-Davidson's new 500cc bike : Key specs & Models

Harley-Davidson has been silently working with their Chinese partner Qianjiang Group which happens to be the parent company of Benelli; for making new entry-level motorcycles for the global markets. 

 This new 500cc bike is anticipated to be a parallel-twin motor and the bike itself resembles a lot to the already available Benelli Leoncino 500. 

The Harley-QJ joint venture aims to produce these products in China itself while the sales will go live in China, Asian markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, and even India by the year 2024. Harley-Davidson also plans to introduce these entry-level bikes in the western markets later on.

The orange logo visible on the fuel tank looks similar to the one used by Harley on its new-gen models – Pan America and Sportster S. In fact, the body styling and color are also in line with Harley Davidson’s latest bikes.

Engine churns out 47bhp at 8,500rpm and 46Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. It is paired to an 6-speed gearbox.
