HARLEY-DAVIDSON IN INDIA?

Well, that's what I read on a news report today! The famed Harley-Davidson, which is known for its big, bulky, mean cruiser bikes is planning to sell it bikes in India. I am sure there are many people in here who drool on these bikes and presume it to be the ultimate symbol of masculinity, though I doubt if there will be many buyers. Read the story here.

People at H-D say that the problems they have with entering India is the stringent emission norms and steep tariffs. I am no economist to comment on the tariffs, but the stringent emission norms are definitely a nice thing. And Harley better send in only the bikes that don't leave everyone behind it choking for oxygen if they want to be here.
