Harley Davidson Bikes India

Did you know that India is the second-largest motorcycle market in the world? Yet, the iconic American Harley-Davidson bike has taken its time to vroom into India.

When Matthew Levatich, President of Harley-Davidson Inc.'s main motorcycle division announced the lauch, avid Indian bikers cheered. However, not everyone who covets ownership of the Harley Davidson bike will be able to afford it. The bike is likely to cost double of its price back home in the USA, with prices ranging from approx.4 lakhs to nearly 14 lakhs.
