Harley Davidson is Here - Website Launched

straight6 · 25th August 2009, 01:29

They are launching 3 bikes to start with. One made in and designed specially for India which is apparently not going to be over 3L, the Fat Boy and the V-Rod (I think).

Do you have any technical info on the Indian HD that is less than 3L?

I am a bit confused. is this date of 27th August true for launching the harley's in India. Has anyone of you come across a dealer set up. Atleast somewhere in the metros mumbai, delhi should have the setup already if they plan to launch on 27th August.

How I wish it is the baby V-rod which apparently is made-for-India.

Technocrat · 25th August 2009, 12:06

Er what makes you call the Ninja 250 & Comet as crap?

Technocrat · 25th August 2009, 14:34

I think we need to compare things as per Individual markets as they are in no way crap for Indian Market.

Prithvi · 25th August 2009, 14:56

Lets wait and see what they have to offer.

luky_13 · 25th August 2009, 15:47

Finally after the famed bikes for mangoes circus. Just in case they are able to enter the market with a decent model within 3L, people will queue up to buy them... Waiting anxiously

Though I agree that korean Comet was a sure crap... one close look and I was dissapointed... the weld joints, the general fit and finish, plastics and even the metal used.

One more thing just to add what you said, I do own a Harley and they have patented their sound...that is why it's all true whatever u said above

Whatever they launch in the market and however they price it, it is still going to create an air of excitement.
I am anxiously waiting for the announcement and would love to ride one of the Vrods if it is launched here. cross my fingers.
