One of the really big news from Harley-Davidson is the brand new Sprint 440 model. With a price tag of 69,900,-, many more people will probably open their eyes to the iconic brand with its roots in Milwaukee. I dare say that Harley-Davidson has understood the "design", and with the tough Sprint 440, not entirely dissimilar in design to a classic Sportster , they are throwing themselves into the fight for customers in the A2 class.

The new models from Harley-Davidson have attracted customers with thick wallets, and few of these belong to the younger generation of motorcyclists. That is precisely why the newcomer Sprint 440 is incredibly interesting, because it doesn't cost "a penny". And, it is not the first time that the brand has invested heavily in what many perceive as small in terms of cubic capacity. In the 1960s, Harley-Davidson collaborated closely with the Italian Aermacchi, and it is the legacy of one of the models from this era that has given its name to the newcomer Sprint 440.

The Sprint 440 is a perfect A2 model with its 27 hp, and in Europe this class has taken off well. Perhaps we are seeing a new trend in the times, where top speed and hp are not the most important thing, but that the focus is on the riding experience itself. Another aspect is the economy, and for those who want to ride a motorcycle without emptying their bank account in the search for a new motorcycle, the Sprint 440 is perfect.

For 69,900,- you get a brand new Harley-Davidson , and of course with a warranty. The Sprint 440 is a strategic model that can probably attract a completely different customer group than the traditional buyers of the brand's big-twin. Harley-Davidson Oslo has already sold the first copy, and if I'm not mistaken, this will be a bike to see on the streets both here at home and out in Europe this summer.
