The iconic American brand has developed a select but loyal following over the years, with generations idolising its representation of independence and free passage.

So is it time that the bumbling learner motorcyclist joins the fold? Harley-Davidson obviously thinks so. The brand's new Street 500 is the first such model, compliant with Learner restrictions in Australia and part of a wider push for greater market share. It represents the first all-new Harley platform in 14 years. That Harley has even ventured into the learner market might come as a surprise to some. The thought of a pimply 16-year-old L-plater riding one down the road is perhaps the antithesis of the brand's global image. However, a recent visit to a learner school aboard the new Harley proved a learner derivative certainly has strong merit in the local marketplace. No sooner had Drive pulled up on the Street 500 than a dozen budding riders were bunched around it in awe: "Is this the learner legal one?" asked one. "How does it go, does it feel cheap?" another prodded. The last question is a pertinent one. The Street 500 costs only $9995 ride away and is manufactured out of India instead of the US.

The bike has been built on a customisable platform, meaning prospective buyers can tailor its looks and styling before riding out of the dealership. The Street 500 may well be perceived as 'cheap' by brand loyalists. Indeed, the plastic switchgear on the handlebars and the minimalist instrument cluster (a speedometer, trip meter and odometer) suggests this Harley has been produced on a budget. But the rest of the package offers all the hallmarks of an appealing learner bike. There's a conservative 709mm seat height, a relatively light kerb weight of 222kg and a more upright seating position than a typical Harley, with the footpegs sitting below the seat instead of right out in front of it. The ergonomics are such that men and women of all abilities will find the Harley an easy machine in daily conveyance, unless of course they're quite tall, which presents the issue of the cockpit feeling too compact. The only other major criticism is its mirrors, which are small and almost redundant at times.

Otherwise, the bike's low centre of gravity and low seat height allow plenty of balance and control from low speeds, helping bourgeoning riders to gain confidence in heavy traffic or tight parking scenarios. At the Street 500's heart is a 494cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, mated to a six-speed transmission. The teaming produces a credible 40Nm of torque (HD doesn't provide a power figure) ? translating to a 0-100km/h time of about seven seconds. The engine offers a broad powerband that is easily accessible from low revs. It isn't likely to threaten occupants with whiplash under heavy acceleration, but it builds up speed progressively and comfortably maintains momentum on long inclines. The accompanying six-speed offers a decent spread of ratios, though its changes feel a little clunky and the clutch take-up is quite long. The engine proved efficient during our testing. The official claim is 5.7L/100km combined, meaning a circa 230km range from its 13.1L capacity tank.

As for the sound, don't be surprised if the majority of Street 500 owners invest in an optional Screamin' Eagle pipe from Harley-Davidson. That's because the standard unit emits a note more akin to a Singer sewing machine than the enviable roar the brand is famous for. For the most part, the rest of the package ? ride, cornering ability, refinement ? felt in line with most learner bikes. The Street 500 turns in confidently through corners, feels poised and well sorted over mid-corner bumps. With a 145mm ground clearance, it isn't hard to ground the footpegs through corners (a little disconcerting at first) but the same can be said of most Harleys. The Street 500 does an admirable job of absorbing rough sections of road, too, dispatching undulations without unnerving its rider. Thanks to a front cowl that sits above the headlight, wind is well suppressed below 100km/h - above the legal speed limit for a learner. Where the Street 500 isn't great is in its braking ability.

The braking action feels progressive enough but you have to really squeeze the front brake on to pull up the bike with any great urgency. The rear brake is fairly lacklustre in terms of responsiveness, too. Fortunately, despite some of its drawbacks, the Street 500 still manages to embody what should at the core of any great touring or cruising bike: freedom. Every time we threw a leg over, we felt compelled to simply keep on riding (idyllically into the sunset). The Street 500 offers a visceral experience on the road, one that should appeal to someone starting out in the motorcycle fraternity or returning to the fold after an extended hiatus. Given six out of the top 10 selling road motorcycles in Australia last year were learner-legal models, that could easily equate to a lot of people. Who knows, the bike could spawn the next generation of tattoo-clad gang members or well-heeled white collared types. They might just not know it yet. Claimed fuel use: 5.7L/100km combined
