A welcome move by HD India. This should be even more effective as the number of authorised HD dealerships increases.
I am a little skeptical seeing the number of excluded situations, though.
That said, as long as this is actually implemented professionally, it would take the ownership experience a long way forward.

Ride safe,
Sam

150KMs radius is not bad but just thinking how many dealerships our country has . Anyways they are ready to serve at extra cost.

Harleys started tickling the minds of people with not so limited budget settling on CL500s or TB500s due to maintainability concerns.
