Harley-Davidson has introduced three new colour options for the X440 motorcycle over a year after its launch in India. In addition to Metallic Thick Red and Metallic Dark Silver, the mid-spec Vivid variant of the motorcycle can now be had in Mustard and Goldfish Silver colours, both available at an identical Rs 2.60 lakh (ex-showroom). The tank on the Vivid Mustard is painted in a shade of yellow, which pairs with the silver-finished Harley-Davidson logo, while the tank on the Goldfish Silver is of a silver colour. The latter gets the same silver logo as the Mustard.
The top-spec S variant, on the other hand, gets only a new Baja Orange colour. Priced at Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom), the S Baja Orange combines bright orange with matte black. Unlike the Mustard and the Goldfish Silver, the Baja Orange does not wear the new silver badging. Aside from cosmetic changes, the Harley-Davidson X440 remains mechanically unaltered.
