Harley-Davidson India imports completely assembled motorcycles from its US final assembly plants. Besides India, outside the US, the company has CKD assembly operations in Brazil.

After the Haryana facility will be operational, Harley-Davidson India will import CKD kits for select models from the company's US plants and employees at the Haryana facility will then assemble the components into finished motorcycles, the company added.

Harley-Davidson India commenced operations in August 2009 and currently offers 12 models in its 2010 line-up in India.

Days ahead of President Barack Obama's visit, US cult bike maker Harley Davidson on Tuesday said it will start assembling bikes in India from next year.
Harley Davidson first started selling its imported bikes in India from this year.
The strengthening of business ties between the two countries (US and India) gives us the confidence to invest further here," Harley Davidson India Managing Director Anoop Prakash told reporters.
After prolonged negotiations, India had relaxed emission norms for big bikes above 800cc in order to let Harley Davidson sell its products here after the US agreed to allow Indian mangoes to be sold there in 2007.
Prakash, however, declined to specify the installed capacity of the plant that would assemble completely knocked down (CKD) units of bikes. The company, which started selling its products since July this year, is expecting sell 200-250 units by the end of 2010, Prakash said.
iconic American superbike maker Harley Davidson is setting up an assembly unit at Bawal, Haryana. The move will help Harley substantially cut the price of its bikes in India. The domestic price of Harleys ranges from Rs 6.95 lakh to Rs 34.95 lakh-- BMW will also start operations in December.
Harley Davidson India Managing Director Anoop Prakash said, "We are evaluating the tariff structures
Harley Davidson currently offers 12 models belonging to five families: Sportster, Dyna, Softail, V-Rod and Touring-- Our customers do belong to a higher income group--. Priced at Rs 34.95 lakh, the Electra Glide is the most expensive model in the Harley Davidson portfolio at present. "Electra Glide is our touring flagship model-- Globally, Harley Davidson would sell 1,000 units of the Electra Glide," added Tripathi--"Delhi and Mumbai are our biggest markets.

The Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle

The Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle is the best selling motorcycle in America. These motorcycles come slam-packed with leather mount saddlebags, windshield, low sissy bar, deluxe touring seat and with passenger back rest, overnight rack bag and sport rack. The 2010 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 models are looking splendid and come at a low price of $7,000. I particularly like the blacked out style chrome style. The 2010 1200 Custom provides a classic look with the bullet headlamp, forward-mounted foot pegs and the low-rise handlebars; the bike costs $10,000. The "Harley Davidson Sportster XR1200" is my personal favorite.
The Sportster is a cornerstone of Harley-Davidson’s empire.
Typically, Sportster models are the lowest-priced bikes from H-D and have one of the lowest seat heights in the line. Most importantly though, Sporties offer the core Harley experience: an air-cooled, pushrod V-Twin-powered cruiser.

Of the seven models that currently comprise the Sporty line, five are powered by the fuel-injected, rubber-mounted, air-cooled, 1203cc Evolution V-Twin, which Harley says is good for 79 ft-lbs at 4000 rpm. Like all Harley Davidson Sportster , the Harley Davidson Sportster 883 models are fuel-injected.

Both models are also part of a subset of Harleys called Dark Customs. Like the Nightster, this latest Dark Custom family member features a blacked-out Evolution V-Twin engine and other blacked-out components including air cleaner cover, hand controls and turn signals.
Hinting at the Forty-Eight’s bobber-inspired styling is a 2.1-gallon peanut tank, chopped front fender, solo saddle, and a chubby 16-inch front tire riding a black laced wheel; its 16-inch mate rolls out back. Another clue to its bobber theme are mirrors mounted below the handlebar. Sportster.
The 2.1-gallon peanut tank complements the bike’s style and evokes images of Harleys from as far back as ’48, when Harley first employed the tank style. Despite a plump Dunlop D402 (130/90 x 16) front tire, steering effort was much lighter than expected.
