New Delhi – Twenty-five Harley-Davidsons rumbled through the heart of the rain-drenched Indian capital recently, aggressively announcing the arrival of the U.S. company in one of the world’s largest motorcycle markets.

The U.S. motorcycle’s long-awaited journey to India was enabled by what has come to be called the “mango-motorcycle swap” in 2007 trade negotiations, when the United States decided to allow Indian mangoes to be imported in return for the export of Harley-Davidsons.

Harley-Davidson is now looking for Indian dealers so it can roll out its first bikes in the first half of 2010.

I wonder how people in India will be able to afford a H-D?

Wait nevermind after some research theres is a ton of rich people in India. But there’s also a ton of poor people. Hell there’s a lot of people period. So a .01 Penetration rate would be 1,000,000 sales.
