Intipan: Harley Davidson 338R didedah. Harley Davidson ‘terpaksa’ buang identiti cruiser?

Harley Davidson adalah sebuah jenama yang sedang mengalami kemerosotan. Baru-baru ini, Harley Davidson telah mengambil keputusan untuk keluar dari pasaran motosikal terbesar dunia iaitu India. Keputusan tersebut diambil atas beberapa faktor, antaranya penjualan yang merudum (kurang 25,000 unit) dalam pasaran yang menjual sekitar 15 - 20 juta unit motosikal setahun.

Mengikut jejak langkah pengeluar barat yang bekerjasama dengan syarikat dari timur dalam membangunkan motosikal bersesaran rendah, Harley Davidson terpaksa menurunkan ego dan mengorak langkah yang sama. Syarikat pilihan Harley Davidson ini berpengkalan di China iaitu Qianjiang Motorcycle Company Limited.

QJ350

Syarikat yang memiliki jenama Benelli tersebut telah mendaftarkan reka bentuk motosikal terbaru, mendedahkan sebuah motosikal jenis naked yang digelar QJ350. QJ350 ini bakal dijenamakan semula sebagai Benelli 350S dan bakal digunakan sebagai asas bagi model terbaru Harley Davidson 338R.

Berbeza dengan QJ350 / Benelli 350S, Harley Davidson 338R menampilkan rekaan retro moden dengan penggunaan lampu bulat, meter bulat tetapi dengan ekor yang lebih pendek. Rekaan yang telah didaftarkan ini kelihatan jauh daripada identiti gagah motosikal jenis cruiser yang selama ini menjadi identiti Harley Davidson. 

Selain itu, Harley Davidson 338R ini akan menjengah ke pasaran China dahulu sebelum dipertimbangkan untuk pasaran-pasaran Asia lain. Selain daripada Harley Davidson, BMW terlebih dahulu mengeluarkan motosikal bersesaran rendah dengan kerjasama syarikat TVS selain daripada KTM yang bekerjasama dengan syarikat Bajaj. 

Qianjiang Motorcycle juga dimiliki oleh syarikat Geely Group. Sebagai perbandingan, Proton dan Volvo dimiliki oleh Geely Auto Group. Melihat kepada sokongan kewangan yang dimiliki, tidak hairan jika jenama Benelli yang dimiliki Qianjiang Motorcycle semakin kompetitif dalam arena permotoran Malaysia. Adakah Harley Davidson memilih rakan niaga yang betul?

The upcoming mini Toyota Land Cruiser will be a Corolla Cross-sized "Land Hopper?"

The Toyota Land Cruiser made its name being a tough-as-nails, go-anywhere premium 4x4 with the looks to back it up. Hot on the heels of the new global Land Cruiser 300 and the North American Land Cruiser 250 (Prado) could be a new third, more compact variant that’s being adorably dubbed the Land Hopper. Japanese site Best Car Web has dropped its own rendering of what the Land Hopper could be styled like and unsurprisingly, it appears to be very much like a mini Land Cruiser 250. That’s not a bad
