UPCOMING HARLEY-DAVIDSON 300CC CRUISER

Is This Upcoming Harley-Davidson 300cc Cruiser?
 


Image of the Qianjiang SRV300 has been leaked online...


 So this bike is a partnered bike with Harley-Davidson to make a 300cc motorcycle as affordable price.


The bike gets a 300cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, with a claimed top speed of 128kmph.



Expect Harley to bring out its version of the cruiser next year and its a partered bike with Qianjiang.




The approval documents of the Qianjiang SRV300 cruiser have been leaked 

online. To jog your memory, Harley-Davidson had partnered with QJ (Qianjiang)

Motor in 2019 to make small-capacity motorcycles for the Chinese and other 

Asian markets. It was supposed to launch the Harley-Davidson 338R in China 

late last year. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the global decline 

in Harley's business forced the brand to develop a new strategy, concentrating on 

the core markets that have robust and rowdy demand for premium bikes.




That said, its partnership with QJ Motor has remained intact. This leads us to 

believe that the recently leaked Qianjiang SRV300 could be Harley's upcoming 

300cc cruiser, to be launched perhaps next year.






According to he approval documents, the SRV300 packs a 296cc liquid-cooled V-

twin motor churning out 30.7PS of power. It is likely to be linked to a 6-speed 

transmisson, and the belt drive is clearly visible in the image. The claimed top 

speed is 128km/ph, which feels a little low for a 300cc twin cylinder engine. The 

motorcycle weighs 163kg kerb, which should allow effrotless manuvering in tight 

spaces.



The document also reveals premium underpinnings such as an Inverted front fork, 

twin rear shock absorbers, and disc brake at both ends with dual-channel ABS. 

The alloy wheels measure 16-inches up front, whole the rear is a 15-inches. 

Shorter riders should be able to access the seat easily.



Design-wise,the motorcycle looks similar to the Harley-Davidson Iron 883.

It features an all-LED lightining system, and the instrument cluster is likely to be 

fully digital as well. Since Harley-Davidson is primarly a crusier maker, expect 

the brand to kick off its small-capacity onslaught with the cruiser, followed by the 

naked. For Harley, cruisers have a stronger brand-connect, and the SRV300 

would go a long way in attracting young Harley enthusiasts.

KTM 1290 Super Duke RR: In Images

  An all-new Bike or a minor update? KTM just unveiled its meanest, most epensive Duke till date, the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR. It has been through reworked for 2021 with lighter bodywork and engine components, resulting in a 9kg weight reduction. But how does this contribute to the biker's performance? It may be powered by the same 1301cc LC8 75degree V-twin dishing 182PS and 140Nm, but the extreme weight loss means it weighs in at just 180kg kerb. Thanks to this, the bike now boasts a 1:1 power-to-weight  ratio. It retains the same 6speed transmission with a bi-directional quickshifter. The way the power is delivered has also been improved. For this, KTM has wquipped the Super Duke with a new quick throttle with a 65-degree opening angle-- a 7-degree reduction over the standard KTM 1290 Super Duke R. When you think of weight saving, you think of carbon fibre, and the 1290 has loads of it. This comprises a carbon undertray, rear cowl, and even front brake cooling ducts. Even th...

Evolution Of Motrcycles - Why Are Motorcycles Exhausts Commonly Placed On The Right Side?

 Every inquistive mind would have at some point questioned the poistioning of motorcycle exhausts. Why does almost every motorcycle have its exhaust placed on the right, and not the left? Well, there is no right or wrong answer to this. However, answers like, pedestrian sidewalks are on the left, there is a chain sprocket on the left, spacing issue, etc, do not make enough sense. Kawasaki h2 What does make sense is that, manufacturers have just stuck to the design that was implemented on the very first internal combustion-powered, single-cylinder motorcycles. The evolution of motorcycles with respect to exhaust is a story in itself. Underbelly Exhaust: The very first internal combustion-powered mototrcycles could not rely on just the engine for its power. Hence, to get it going from zero, they were equipped with pedals. The rider pedalled the motorcycle off the line, and at higher speeds, the motor would take over propulsion. In this scenario, the engineers had no other option but ...
