Long long back I had crush on CBR 250R, it was a dream bike, although looks were similar to Ninja and other super bikes. I was never into bikes. The complexity of riding them always scared me. Speed thrill but kills.
RE Classic 500 was an impulse buy. I tried to into riding mode, but never successful. 9 years and the odometer showed 6600 in Feb 2026 when I got it overhauled with breaks, service etc. Started riding very often and seems like I am getting a hang of it. Now its just Speed Thrills.
But RE is quite heavy, long rides are quite engaging and feels good. At the same time I also wanted to have a sleek, sporty, lighter machine. Not a sporty riding position. I have been monitoring bikes for over a year, had a thought of selling off RE but never actually decided. The final verdict was to continue riding RE but also own another.
Here enters Harley-Davidson X440 T into my parking lot. In fact I had booked X440 when it was launched with Rs 5000/- advance payment. Kept on pushing taking its delivery thinking I will do an injustice by not giving it a spin on regular basis. X440 T is a good upgrade.
At its a surprise, because I had not informed anybody about buying it. As usual, I like giving surprises.
Also thinking of recoding my rides and may be start posting them!
Happy Riding.
