Back in 2020 and 2021, Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp were busy hammering out all the particulars of their partnership. Talk of Hero officially distributing Harley’s bikes in India was on the table, of course. Since India was then and is currently the world’s largest motorcycle market, though, discussions also turned to a collaboration on smaller-displacement, Hero-produced Harleys for the Indian market
In 2021, information emerged regarding Harley and Hero’s imminent collaboration on some low- and mid-displacement bikes, confirming that the partnership was now in place. Fast-forward to April, 2023, and we’re starting to get a glimpse of the first fruits of that labor, via ‘spy shots’ obtained by Indian automotive publication Evo India. (These ‘spy shots’ look a little too nicely composed to simply have been snapped off-the-cuff, but we’ll accept the wink and nod and go with it.)
