Harley-Davidson’s motorcycle lineup in India has been significantly impacted by the revised Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. Every model in the brand’s portfolio, except for the X440, now exceeds the 350cc threshold and is subject to a 40% tax rate. As a result, prices have increased across the range, with the Premium touring range bearing the brunt of the GST revision.
The price hikes vary significantly, with the flagship touring models seeing the biggest increases. The Road Glide, for instance, now costs Rs 3.45 lakh more, with its ex-showroom price rising from Rs 42.30 lakh to Rs 45.75 lakh. Other popular models, such as the Street Glide, Street Bob, Breakout, Fat Boy, and Heritage Classic, have also become considerably more expensive.
The Sport and Cruiser families have also seen significant price increases, with models like the Pan America 1250 Special, Nightster, Nightster Special, and Sportster S experiencing hikes ranging from Rs 1.03 lakh to Rs 2.57 lakh. The updated price list for Harley-Davidson India is as follows:
* Street Glide: Rs 39.30 lakh to Rs 42.50 lakh (Rs 3.20 lakh increase)
* Road Glide: Rs 42.30 lakh to Rs 45.75 lakh (Rs 3.45 lakh increase)
* Street Bob: Rs 18.77 lakh to Rs 20.23 lakh (Rs 1.46 lakh increase)
* Breakout: Rs 31.79 lakh to Rs 34.36 lakh (Rs 2.57 lakh increase)
* Fat Boy: Rs 25.90 lakh to Rs 28.03 lakh (Rs 2.13 lakh increase)
* Heritage Classic: Rs 23.85 lakh to Rs 25.71 lakh (Rs 1.86 lakh increase)
Notably, the Harley-Davidson X440 will maintain its current price, despite the tax increase, with the brand absorbing the additional burden rather than passing it on to customers. The X440’s price will remain between Rs 2.40 lakh and Rs 2.80 lakh. Other premium motorcycle brands, such as Ducati and BMW Motorrad, have also adjusted their pricing in response to the GST revision. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi.
