It was an memorable thing
It was an memorable thing that happened in my life were my Dad presented me a bike on my birthday. And the bike was my one of the dream bike to buy in my life. The dual led headlights and sculpted fuel tank give it a premium, aggressive look. Fuel efficiency is around 40-45 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.

Best Performance
The Harley-Davidson X500, made in China, made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. As anticipated, it closely resembles the Benelli Leoncino 500. Benelli's design proves comfortable for larger riders, boasting a cozy seat and user-friendly riding position. The 500cc engine delivers smooth power, aided by a liquid-cooled system for consistent performance across all riding conditions.
