This Harley-Davidson nameplate appeared in model-year 2023 as the Riding Academy version of the X 350 platform, identified in Harley-Davidson service documentation and parts catalogs alongside the standard X350. It was developed as a training-oriented motorcycle for the brand’s rider-education programs rather than as a mainstream retail model, with factory materials referring to a customer-sale conversion kit for the RA variant. The designation continued into model-year 2024 in Harley-Davidson owner’s manuals and parts literature, indicating that the nameplate carried forward at least across those model years. In Harley-Davidson’s lineup history, it stands out as part of the company’s broader push to support beginner rider training with a smaller-displacement, modern liquid-cooled platform while keeping the model closely tied to the Riding Academy experience.
