Sooo the infotainment systems comes from....
From the Times of India
The $6-billion Harley-Davidson also uses American audio and infotainment major Harman's India centres to supply infotainment systems for its range of bikes. Harman's India team contributed to the development of Harley's Boombox Infotainment System that has an array of audio features including weatherproof jukebox with a USB connection to connect to a wide range of devices, voice recognition, human machine interface, satellite radio navigation and multi-media support. "The team in India contributed to bluetooth connectivity in the radio, voice recognition and media interfacing," said M Lakshminarayan, MD of Harman India.

That's so funny, all this time I get crap about my Japanese Cruiser and now this, priceless. " What is your wish", seen that commercial, where the guy wishes for a million bucks, hilarious.

Only from those who have no idea where the H-D parts are sourced...and this is nothing new- the early bikes used Bosch electrics until WWI.
Names like Showa, Keihin, Magnetti-Marelli (Weber), Hitachi have been associated with our H-D's for many years.
I really don;t think I have a problem with that- I have seen the lines at Capitol Drive and York.
H-D needs to grow outside the US to thrive- the South Asian market has potential and H-D has a presence there- nothing wrong with building a stronger better relationship within a Country in which many people speaks 3 , 4 or more languages.
For various political reasons, the kids in the US are among the poorest educated in Science and History
A better education is higher priority elsewhere.
Science can show the way to the future, History can show the mistakes of the past and the context for the Present

That's not as funny as you would hope! I had to have a surgery twice many years ago because it was an Indian Dr who I could not understand well enough to realize he was doing the wrong thing, and he wasn't listening to me about all of the symptoms. Ever since then I make it clear that I don't care if he's Indian or some other nationality. But ... he MUST have good language skills and I have to be able to understand EVERY word he says.
Sorry for the sidetrack rant.

""The partners developed a microsite for test rides and for customizing bikes," said Jain."
But ... they found it didn't help them to make sure the infotainment was user friendly, intuitive, and had features that made sense to a biker versus someone in an automobile.

No offense to Indian workers. Everyone needs to make a living. But...it's a fact that their English can be (and usually) is a nightmare to understand.
