They went to India back in 2009 and started selling their bikes in 2010. The Indian market welcomed them with open arms and now it is one of the most important markets for the brand.

The 110th anniversary celebrations are more than just an event and instead shall look to connect people from all over the world who have been associated with the brand. Following a country specific approach , they ‘ve also announced that Harley-Davidson India will be sponsoring the India Bike Week which follows the H.O.G Rally in Goa on the 2nd and 3rd of February.
