I rode one of these in America at my Harley Riding Academy class a couple weeks ago. Riding this after riding my xl1200 for a couple months before taking their class was brutal. The seats suck, the reward controlls are terrible, and there are several other things id love to complain about. But overall I passed the course and didn't have to bring my own bike so I guess it worked for it's intended purpose 😂

Oh wow, I heard they were using them now for courses. The 350 controls are so bad !!! Especially if you're tall haha. Definitely for small people. I did enjoy how much I could throw them around but the vibrations in them was abit funky too. 500 was definitely better but still could improve alot. So I agree with you ! Haha glad you passed !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Exactly @lilwixxy . Even a 650 single (thumper) would do it but a 650 Sportster would be the best option
Cool little bikes, the 500 was def the winner for me, as a LAMS or learners bike it offers great value for money, if i was shorter and lighter the 350 would be a good option for a town bike. Either way great learner bikes, im sure we gave a few people a laugh as we passed them up the highway lol I mean your massive frame did look pretty funny on the little weapon. Also suprised how good the resurgence jeans were given it was hotter than Delta Goodrem on that day.

Hello Matt! For me it's the X500 too! More power! The cost for each motorbike is very reasonable! Both of these motorbikes will be perfect for the new rider too! One thing you didn't mention that is important is they both have inverted front forks with dual disk brakes! This is pretty impressive for motorbikes in this price range! My Breakout doesn't have the inverted front forks, but wish it did. I really liked that your Dad helped you out with your review too! Always great to watch the two of you sharing in something you both enjoy!!! You even got a plug in for the Resurgence jeans you two bought earlier! Overall... a very nice review of these two new Harley Davidson's! Wish we had your warm weather here in Oregon right about now! Oh... can you explain what LAM is for us Americans. LOL John...

Great review Matt. Loved that the jeans are working out well for you & your Dad. Will actually be interesting to see what are more comfortable in the heat over time the Warriors or the Single Layer jeans. The warriors with the wick liner could help with breathability even though they are a bit thicker. So will be interesting over time when trying each others jeans on haha that sounds wrong haha on what's actually more cooler / more breathable. Also for standing / walking around though the single layer maybe better in the heat. Will be interesting feedback. Loved the bike review, so good to see these Harley's for the learner market. Look like fun bikes in the corners.

@@Gnarly_Harley Thats great to hear that your aren't any hotter than normal. Look forward to seeing what you think of the Warriors also. A 650 would have been better, totally agree, NZ is still lams at 650 depending on the weight ratio I believe. I guess it depends on other countries as well for cc rating for lams? They have the 350, so would have been covered.

The most characterless / boring engine configuration you can get is a sub half litre parallel twin. And in the case of the x500 the Benelli is cheaper, has more ground clearance slightly more power and in my opinion looks better. I think Harley Oz have backed a looser here especially as they could have had the Hero X440.

Not sure the pricing in Australia because I haven’t been there for awhile but in the US you can purchase comparable (better) Honda’s or Kawasaki’s for 1/2 to 3/4’s the cost. Don’t think Harley is offering their Chinese bikes in the U.S. By the way, love your weekly podcast.

@@Gnarly_Harley It's a good thing. It's actually made by QJ Motor in China. QJ Motor manufactures Benelli and has collaboration with HD, MV Agusta and other brands. Supposed to be, the QJ Motor SRV300 should have been labelled as the HD Street 300. But for some reasons, QJ doesn't want exclusivity in US Market alone. SRV300 is selling well in asia and othe parts of Europe. The SRV300 and the SRV600 are the designs which made possible by QJ's collab with HD. :) Another fact is that QJ Motor / Geely group of companies is one of the most important manufacturers in China. I own one here in our country. SRV300 made SRV400 engine. It's very reliable. It's very harley-ish in terms of riding experience. So to answer the question again, it's a good thing because the manufacturing capabiltiy of QJ is so huge that they made ALMOST everything in-house. From frame to finish of the motorcycles. It's a good thing HD did collaboration with them. Also, the SRV300 is available I think in North or Southern US. :) Great vid. Ride safe!
