Harley-Davidson India dealerships to sell pre-owned motorcycles soon
Harley-Davidson has been reaping the fruits of its early entry into the big bike market in India. Now, the American motorcycle manufacturer plans to pioneer the sale of pre-owned motorcycles from its dealerships across India. Harley-Davidson India managing director Peter MacKenzie has stated that the company has already begun testing the used motorcycle sales concept on a pilot basis at some of its dealerships in the country. These dealerships have been piloting it for the past few months, and Harley-Davidson India is close to rolling out the programme pan-India, he said.

Explaining the idea behind this, MacKenzie said that the used bike business will enable the company to attract more customers. "Secondly, to enable people, perhaps who cannot afford a new Harley-Davidson, but at least get the right Harley-Davidson experience through an authorised dealership," he said.

MacKenzie was speaking at the opening of the country's 27th Harley-Davidson dealership, Marina Harley-Davidson at Nungambakkam, Chennai. The company plans to open three more, taking the total to 30 dealerships in India by the end of 2018. To increase the brand's connect, Harley-Davidson India will also be opening up more apparel stores in shopping malls.
