    Default Indian Harleys, Motus looking Hondas

    Looks like HD is trying for the middleweight market, a 500 and a 750 liquid cooled v twin are being introduced....built in India.
    And Honda has a 1300 V4 for the CTX line that looks a lot like a Motus.

    I'll stay with my RT.

    The HD bikes sold in America will be built in the KC factory-- the Indian production is for the Indian and elsewhere export market (Indian tariffs being what they are, it's cheaper to build local and export out than vice versa).

    They are very neat, and if I can scrounge the money, I'd totally get the 500 to putter around town on.

    Both the 500 & the 750 will motors based on the VRod engine and be very similar.

    Checked further, Harleys will be built in Kansas City, the India built ones will stay in the other hemisphere.
