In March 2019, Harley-Davidson and China’s Qianjiang Group had entered into a partnership to develop small and mid-capacity motorcycles. The American motorcycle manufacturer was previously working on 338R naked streetfighter with its Chinese partner. However, the project was reported to be shelved and both companies started working on a new twin-cylinder sportster. Internally named SRV300, the upcoming Harley Davidson 300cc cruiser will be positioned against the Royal Enfield 350cc motorcycles.
Recently, the sketches of the new Harley Davidson 300cc bike were emerged on the web revealing some interesting details. The model features a retro-styled circular headlamp flanked by beefy forks. It has bobber-like lower positioned seat with the extended rear fender. Features such as wide handlebars, black alloy wheels with black spokes, forward-set footpegs and blacked-out treatment on mechanical elements further enhance its sporty looks.
The Harley Davidson SRV300 is likely to come with all LED lighting system, a TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation. It will have inverted forks and twin rear shock absorbers, swingarm for performing suspension duties. The Harley Davidson 300cc bike’s braking system is likely to include front and rear disc brakes with the standard dual-channel ABS (anti-lock braking system).
Official engine details are still under the wraps. If reports are to be believed, the upcoming Harley Davidson 300cc cruiser will come with a new 296cc, water-cooled, overhead-cam V-twin motor delivering power close to 30bhp. It will be capable to attain a top speed of 129kmph.The model is reported to carry a low kerb weight of 163kgs that translates into healthy power to weight ratio and spirited performance. It will have a 1400mm long wheelbase. The bike will be assembled with 16-inch front and 15-inch rear tyres.
