Harley Davidson in India by Dec 2009

The ‘All American bike’ or rather ‘the ultimate cruiser maker’ Harley-Davidson had already announced plans to introduce its bikes in India and now we have some concrete reports. The Harley's are cruising into India by the end of this year.Price would range from 6-20 lakhs for the basic Sportster to the full on individually customisable models. The high prices are due to the import duties levied on Completely Built Units in India although prices could come down significantly if assembly operations start here.
The legendary marque is involved in talks with the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) in India, with regard to securing permission for setting up its retail outlets in the country. Also expected is an assembly unit for Harley motorcycles. If implemented, it would be its third overseas facility after Asian countries Singapore and Thailand.
