Want to get a Harley but can’t afford it? Here is a solution that costs as much as a scooter and offers the same emotions
Not everyone can buy a model of the American company and therefore must take refuge in some cheap alternative. Now there is a solution that can really suit the needs of many and that’s it less than 6,000 euros.
How many would like to become part of the circle of enthusiasts ofHarley Davidson? More than a simple motorcycle, the Harley is a real lifestyle, a way of embracing the on-the-road culture of United States 60s, to relive the breeze of freedom of a period that perhaps no longer exists but which left an important legacy.
The main problem for all those who approach such models are mainly the costs. Being a niche brand, with a glorious and rich history, it inevitably also requires a different outlay from cheaper houses.
Now for those who don’t have the chance to invest 20 thousand euros on a motorbike, there are some very respectable alternatives, one of which in particular can be really interesting. We are talking about the precision of CFMoto 450CL-Cone twin-cylinder cruiser, with oriental soul and substantial performance. The Chinese company has done a really good job allowing you to spend alone 5,790 euros (base price) to ensure a respectable model. It costs the same as a large displacement scooter.
