Scoop: Indian websites report that this was the upcoming Harley Davidson for the emerging markets, being tested.
These websites provide the information that the 500 c.c. engine will deliver around 45 bhp and 5.1 kgm of torque. The price is expected to be -25% of the cheapest HD in the lineup, the 883 Sportster Superlow. The new bike will be user friendly to the shorter and slimmer (compared to Westerners) Indian and Asian riders.

There is almost everything between a Hyosung and a Harley!
These two matt black test mules were sought by Team-BHP.com in India. Its not certain if these bikes are actually Harleys, it could be a new model being tested by Hyosung e.g. a larger Aquila, or whatever really...
It is reminded that Harley is going to manufacture a new Indian specd 500 c.c. bike, in India.
Certainly the engine looks big, and it could be liquid cooled as there could be a radiator at the very front of the engine. The silencer doesn¢t look like a Harley one although this could be intentional. However the front fork and the reflectors resemble to those of a Harley XL 883 Sportster Superlow. Therefore this is either a heavily disguised Harley or a new bike from Hyosung or another manufacturer. In the first case this bike looks very user friendly, intended for everyday use. However the critical issue is, if a Harley like this would be appealing to the potential Indian customers as there is nothing common between these spy photos and a piece of the American dream that Harley represents to the masses.
