What Harley has done during the Delhi Expo can simply be put in one Phrase “It came, it saw, it conquered”. With launching 12 models with prices starting from 6.95lakhs and EMI deal of Rs. 12k it sure did triumph over the other biggies.
All the 12 models can be booked from April and delivery is expected to start from June. To know the price and spec details of the 12 models check out Harley-Davidson’s Indian Website.

The news out of Delhi was that the price for the cheapest Harley, the XL 883L Sportster would be 6.95Lakhs. If that’s a bit of a stretch for you, Harley’s deal with ICICI has increased the probability of you and me owning one. For a monthly installment of Rs. 12845 you can live life the Harley way!
With an interest rate of 11% you would end up paying 7.70 lakhs at the end of the 5th year when the bike would by completely owned by you. Which is not a bad deal all thanks to ICICI for bring heavens down to earth. This EMI deal holds only for the XL 883L Sportster, but what the hell, at the end of the day its a Harley-Davidson!

Harley finally launched its brand in India at the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturer’s annual convention held on August 28. Harley was close to seal off the deal in 2007 but it backed off as it couldn’t cut a deal with the Government regarding import duty. Even now nothing has changed; Harley’s motorcycles will bear the same import duty like other CBUs.
As most of us know, Harley-Davidson is not just a motorcycle maker, but it is a “way of life”. This can be said only about the Harley. But this way of life sadly won’t be feasible for most of us, since the import taxes will elevate the price range to about Rs. 12-14 lakhs but you won’t remember it over the gut ripping music it composes.
The motorcycles will be available for sale in 2010. Initially Harley will be launching 4 models which include the Fat Boy, Night Rod Special, the 883cc sportster and a customized model currently named as Legend Harley. But we reckon, since all the models are going to be CBUs Harley will soon serve its entire menu on order.
The company has set up a subsidiary in Gurgaon, near Delhi, Which will be under the management of Mr.Anoop prakash. According to him the company has begun the process of identifying initial dealers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Punjab State.
