Harley-Davidson to assemble bikes in India

Harley has announced plans to assemble motorcycles for the Indian market from CKD component kits supplied by its US plants.

It expects this assembly plant at Haryana to be operational in the first half of 2011. The only other non-US Harley bike manufacturing facility is in Brazil, where Harley began to assemble CKD kits in 1999.

Harley-Davidson began its Indian operations in August 2009 and currently offers 12 models in its 2010 line-up in India, available through dealerships in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh and Hyderabad.

Awesome video from Ryan Grassley a.k.a. Half Throttle.  Here’s what half Throttle has to say about it……. “I’ve wanted to make a animated typography that had something to do with motorcycles for a while now. This is my first try and I got a wicked case of deep vein thrombosis while working on it so I hope you enjoy it.

I have spent a lot of time making fun of Harley Davidson and their riders. But Easy Rider is a very cool movie. From an era when Harley Davidson was at the top of its game in the coolness department. I don’t hate Harley Davidson, I make parodies and satires in hopes that this American company will someday return to greatness. They can’t do that if the American public continues to buy their motorcycles because of patriotism. The Harley customer needs to demand more.”

At the EICMA Milan (Stand 2P-US-5), 2-7 November 2010, Saxon Motorcycles Europe will introduce their new and unique model, the CROWN.

Inspired by the minimalistic approach of the 1950s and ‘60s Gard Hollinger (of LA CountyChoprods and famous for his appearance on the Biker Build-off serie on Discovery Channel) designed a truly unique highneck chopper for Saxon. The motorcycle has clean lines and many custom designed parts like the gas tank, rear fender and oil bag. Like all Saxon models the CROWN offers the combination of beautiful custom bike design together with reliability, performance and comfort. Truly build to ride.

Saxon Motorcycles Europe, also represented at the EICMA, is pleased: “The CROWN is our 5th model we introduce on the European market since 2006” says Frank Vermeulen, owner of Saxon Motorcycles Europe. “Our ‘true american motorcycles´ are very popular in Europe. With our most recent dealer in Russia we now are being represented in 10 European countries” according to Rinke Andringa, coowner. “We are happy to be present at EICMA. Saxon will be on the USA Pavilion , a joint promotion with several different American companies ” he adds. “Saxon represents the lifestyle of an entrepreneur, of a man with a taste for good design and who has the guts to choose what he really wants.”

Saxon, a true American motorcycle, is unique and authentic. It is a symbol of strength and success. It represents the style of a man who knows what he wants, and who dares to make his own choices. He has an eye for quality and sophistication. He is a rebel in his own style. The rider experiences the freedom and rebellion of riding the open road. He is at one with himself and his bike. His Saxon is a unique expression of his individuality.

Saxon stands for power and quality, comfort and self expression. It is a custom built bike, handmade in the professional factory in the USA and fits the driver excellently. It is a beautiful product, that retains its value.

Saxons are reliable and have a 2-year factory warranty. Always the best choice. Saxon is the number 1 USA production custom motor in Europe.

At the moment Saxon Motorcycles Europe has five models: the Warlord, Firestorm, Henchman, the Whip and the Crown. The motorcycles are approved in conformity with the strict European standards on safety, emission and sound. Therefore all bikes of Saxon Motorcycles Europe are “road legal” and can be easily registered by the dealers in every country of the European Union (EU).
