Even a Yamaha R1 needs a saree guard and this is a lot better for a pillion. Back on topic now! Last edited by Mpower : 12th June 2013 at 20:04. | ||

| ![]() Harley for sure. The Saree guard itself is the evidence.. the round speedo meter, the front forks/alloys.. all from the Sportster family.. |

Europe and Japan is a "mature" market for Harley where their usual bag of tricks with paint and chrome gets the job done and is more or less a stable market. South America is a new and emerging market for HD, but the main hurdles there are marketing and logistics for which they operate out of Miami to cover the whole region. HD has had a definite game plan for India for a while now, and they are serious about it. And it's not just about selling existing products. It's hard for some people to like Harley because of their ancient bike technology and image. But whether you like their bikes or not, you have to hand it to them for helping change the Motorcycling scenario in India, particularly Superbikes. Without them, we would still be dealing with grey imports. They are doing a lot to promote SAFE riding in India. Cant think of any multi billion dollar Indian companies like Hero or Bajaj promoting safety in any manner at all. Yes, they are doing all this to survive in a tough economy and it's all about the money, blah, blah. But then again, which Motorcycle company is not? The important thing is how they are doing it. Are they just dumping existing products here, or are they really making a difference with their presence? Apologies if Off topic. Cheers Ride Safe. Last edited by gthang : 13th June 2013 at 09:50.

| ![]() An acquaintance of mine working with the marketing team at HD denied the bikes to be from their stable. Though this denial could be a part of the strategy to keep things under wraps until formal launch. |

| ![]() It looks like a Hyosung GV650 to me. They might have changed the rear end to resemble a V-Rod (They are infamous to copy popular designs ) and some changes for Indian market. Any thoughts? |
