Good news here for the bike lovers as Harley-Davidson motorcycles are back in India through Hero MotoCorp's retail outlets. The first batch of around a hundred Harley bikes that were reserved for the Indian customers for this year has been completely booked. Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, began the process of marketing Harley bikes through its outlets by opening pre-bookings back in April this year. Around 13 models have been picked for sale in India, costs of which range between Rs. 10 lakh and Rs. 35 lakh. Harley-Davidson has now started to assign the next set of bikes for the Indian customers after the first lot was completely booked. It has already started taking bookings for the next batch, according to the source quoted by PTI.

Harley-Davidson motorcycles had tied up with Hero MotoCorp in October last year for distribution rights of its bikes on sale in India after the US-based two-wheeler manufacturer decided to shut down operations here. Hero MotoCorp now has 12 Harley-Davidson dealers across India and also expanded the number of touch-points. Hero MotoCorp is also planning to launch premium motorcycles to be sold under the Harley-Davidson brand in India. The Indian two-wheeler company hopes its tie-up with Harley-Davidson will speed up its presence in the premium bike segment where it aims to establish a complete portfolio.

Let us tell you that Hero MotoCorp is currently the leader in the segment which has motorcycles with 100cc 110cc engines. Hero is also planning to launch electric two-wheelers, both in the mass and premium segments, soon.
