As reported earlier, Hero MotoCorp is readying an all-new motorcycle that will be based on the Harley-Davidson X440. Ahead of its unveiling on January 22, the Indian manufacturer's upcoming 440cc bike has been spotted alongside the X440. Likely to be called the Hero Mavrick 440, the motorcycle in the image features a neo-retro styling, with a round headlamp, an H-shaped LED daytime running light, and round LED turn indicators (placed a little below the headlight). Despite the camouflage, one can notice the muscular-looking fuel tank with small extensions as well as bar-end mirrors. Other visual bits include a 17-inch front wheel and a conventional telescopic front fork, whereas the Harley-Davidson X440 comes with a 19-inch front wheel and an upside-down fork.
