Harley-Davidson rolls out their motorcycle line up in India at the Auto-Expo 2010

Harley Davidson launched 12 models from its 2010 portfolio at auto-expo today. These 12 models have been selected from each of its five Harley Davidson families. After studying the Indian market over the past few years and taking the feedback from the riders at various events Harley Davidson finally entered the Indian market with not one or two models but with their vast range of 12 models.

These motorcycles will range from Rs. 6,95,000 to whopping Rs. 34,95,000(ex-showroom New Delhi). Harley Davidson has launched these models from their Sportster, Dyna, VRSC, Softail and Touring families. The Sportster has the maximum number of models which is 4 in number followed by 3 models from the “Touring” family. The other three families have two models each.

These bikes will be brought as CBUs in India the bookings for which will commence from April 2010 and the delivery will happen somewhere around June this year. The sales, service and spares will be taken care by Harley itself which is planning to open their dealerships at various major cities across India like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chandigarh.

The main highlight of the launch event was the limited edition Harley-Davidson Fat Boy exclusively painted in Indian colors which caught the eye of everyone.

With the entry of Harley Davidson in Indian market, the competition in the cruiser bike section is soon to get hot as this is the least explored section of the motorcycling world in our country. It shouldn’t be a bad move if other manufacturers like Yamaha, TVS or Bajaj start thinking of launching their bikes in cruiser section.
