Wow! Already? If this is true I guess the guys over there should start make up their minds soon with the price increase it might turn some potential buyers off.
could this have anything to do with the changes to Indian tariffs? I do remember reading a couple weeks back that several imported models, or models using imported parts were going to see a 10% reduction, but the article also mentioned that it was at the whim of the current government and things could be subject to change and fast.Any idea if the harley line-up at the states is also facing a hike ? 10% is no joke to be honest. I don't expect street to be affected but it will be a bitch move if they raise price before they can offer test ride. And I think it will most definitely turn me off. Fingers crossed.
Hmmm if they hike up on street ,am gonna drop plans of buying it ,will see prizes of other bikes how the fare and upgrade my ride...As per team-bhp (very credible source) , kochi dealer confirmed all Harley davidson bikes will face a 10% rate hike from the month of april. The person didnt specifically ask about street but but all existing models are affected. 10% equates to about 41k in case of street
yes some tax revisition a month back resulted in a price cut but the outcome was around 7k for example in iron 883's case. The 10% hike means iron will cost now 70k more !!! As far as I know this is not tax/gvt. related but harley themselves increasing price. Surprising really as they are already overpriced here.could this have anything to do with the changes to Indian tariffs?

Keep in mind I'm not on the ground in India, nor at all familiar with their tariffs, Just something I remember reading through not to long ago...
Smart move on their end, they know people want these and charging more for it is something some people wouldn't mind, they just want.This is pure politics, First attract customers with 4.1 lacs and then impose on them 10% hike. Highly disappointing![]()
I doubt it ,coz the product which they are marketing is not assembled here but manufactured here at India with cutting cost in every step of manufacturing like less labor charges ,less cost for indian sourced bike parts and most importantly engine components ,infact everything is built up in india and the final product is not out of this world finish.Smart move on their end, they know people want these and charging more for it is something some people wouldn't mind, they just want.
Yes in India one has to pay the cost of bike whatever it is at time of delivery and not cost booked during booking.Are you guys from India saying that the dealer can legally book your bike at a given price and then increase the price at delivery? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?
Here in America, once you sign the agreement, the price is set at whatever is on the paperwork. No changes thereafter.
Wow, that is not right.Yes in India one has to pay the cost of bike whatever it is at time of delivery and not cost booked during booking.
So if there is price hike we would have to pay the higher amount when we take delivery.
This is how it goes in India![]()
