A report says, as many as 33 dealers group together to sue the company as they say they were “kept in the dark” by the company. Recently, the Milwaukee-based iconic motorcycle company entered into a redistribution partnership with Hero MotoCorp last month to sell its bikes in India. Due to the partnership and the COVID 19 situation the dealers either have to shut shop or switch to smaller format showrooms to recover losses. Some of the dealers said the compensation given to them will not even cover a month’s rent.
