In other updates, Harley-Davidson has announced its partnership with Chinese brand Zhejiang Qianjiang Motorcycle to manufacture a new entry-level model in the sub-500 cc segment.

Harley-Davidson has also revealed the first sketch of the upcoming sub-500 cc motorcycle that will compete in the naked roadster category. The bike revealed via the sketch was equipped with the underpinnings of the Benelli TNT300. Regular readers would know that Zhejiang Qianjiang Motorcycle also owns the Italian brand. The engine, too, would most likely be shared by the two products.
The current generation Benelli TNT300 uses a 300 cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled power mill that delivers 38.79 PS at 11,500 rpm and 26.5 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. The Euro-V/BS-VI compliant model will most likely arrive with a marginal displacement bump and feature a 338 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled motor.
