HD dumps on NZ
HD have pulled the pin on my local dealer after a very long time :-( ANZA Motorcycles Palmerston North New Zealand
3 years ago they made them give up Triumph to be a stand alone dealership and that was done and it hasn't made a difference -A loss of 14 jobs
In Wellington they tried to make the local HD dealer a stand alone dealership but they said no and lost HD
After 2 years of no dealership in Wellington they gave HD to a place called Motomart and let them keep BMW and Ducati!
It appears HD are just bean counters or fish heads and have lost the ability to treat people like humans and not numbers
As for them making bikes in India that's should have gone to USA workers
Just my thoughts

That isn't anything exclusive to Harley. The car brands pulled off that stunt here back in the 1980s. BMW tried making dealers sell both bikes and cars for a while. However Indian take the prize, as they started the stand alone dealership thing - just after WW1! Ain't nuttin' new....
That brought about the demise of many smaller US brands of bikes.

I thought they made them in India for the Asia market. I did read where the KC plant built the engines for the USA so maybe they ship them to India.

Thread dredge: with the release of the LiveWire in NZ - of course only ever a very small number of buyers / riders for this new machine - there is no support for the LW at all south of Te Rapa / the Road and Sport guys. Fortunately that dealer (R&S) is excellent; just a long way from the rest of the country. (At least we don't have to go all the way up to Auckland!).
