Default Harley manufacturing in India

Will Harley's ever increasing manufacturing operations in India affect buyer/rider demographics? What about stereotypes?

Yes, it will increase the number of buyers in India.
BTW the photoshopped picture was posted last week.

Don't know, don't care. I don't live anywhere near India. You are aware that they are doing it to avoid import duty on the bikes they sell in India don't you? Make there what they sell there and no tax = more affordable bike for more people= more sales, so it probably will affect the demographics for their India sales. Are you sensitive to the image of the HD India bikers for some reason?

Personally I hope that the brand is wildly popular in India. That way I can get a T shirt at several dealers in the country when I visit!
