poor man’s harley.
I wud call it an affordable Harley. Paying sky high price for a piece of American balls rattler is called stupidity
Poor man’s Harley?? Please have some respect for the brand that has been in business for almost a hundred years. If you are looking for a poor man harley, may I recommend China’s CFmoto.
I would not call it a poor man’s Harley by any mean. This is a poor man’s Honda. Lousy outdated tech with zero good reviews on the internet.
47 hp and 240 KG? I would consider buying at 20K but for 39K I rather buy a VStrom, Honda Rebel, CB500X, Versys, Vulcan… Royal Enfield is delusional with their prices
