Juggling the challenges of supply chain shortages and inflation costs has become the norm for motorcycle manufacturers. Those issues aren’t going away anytime soon despite the post-pandemic atmosphere. Throughout these trying times, Harley-Davidson has adapted to its operational obstacles and rising production costs.
In July, 2021, the Motor Company implemented a 2-percent surcharge on new motorcycles. The price adjustments aren’t stopping the brand from releasing new models, though, with the Road Glide ST, Street Glide ST, Low Rider ST, and Nightster all debuting in the opening months of 2022. The global health crisis still impacts the way Harley does business, but all the company still posted a 6-percent revenue increase in Q1 2022.
