After taking over the distributorship of Harley-Davidson (H-D) motorcycles for Malaysia, Didi Resources officially opened Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya, the first of a refreshed independent dealer network. Located at The Gasket Alley, Petaling Jaya, the showroom is operated under Goh Brothers Motorcycles.
The opening was officiated by Johan Kleinstruber, H-D Emerging Markets managing director, Rewi Hamid Bugo, chairman of Didi Resources and Goh Kian Sin, chairman of Goh Brothers Motorcycles. Covering some 1,858 square meters, the H-D of PJ showroom offers the entire range of H-D motorcycles, including the 115th Anniversary Edition Street Glide, the Road Glide Special and the entire 2018 model year Softtail line.
Also on-site is a service centre with six fully-equipped service bays, as well as a body and paint centre, manned by technicians trained at H-D University. “Together with our new authorised sole distributor-partner, Didi Resources, we are happy to refresh our trusted network of independently owned dealerships in Malaysia, a country Harley-Davidson has been committed to since 2008,” said Kleinstruber.
Some RM3 million was invested in the setting up of H-D of PJ, and there are plans to open two more H-D centres in the latter half of 2018, located in Penang and Malacca. “We are honoured that Harley-Davidson has given us the trust to carry the brand by becoming the first Harley-Davidson dealership in Malaysia under the refreshed dealer network,” said Goh.
In conjunction with the opening of H-D PJ, a new Harley Owners Group (HOG) Petaling Jaya Chapter Malaysia has been established. Each H-D Malaysia dealership will manage a chapter, providing personalised service to Harley riders.
Meanwhile, existing H-D owners with bikes purchased before 2018 can have the two-year manufacturer warranty on their bikes honoured at the H-D PJ service centre. There will be no activation or registration fee charged.
well if the selling is going to be rip off as before .. success really depends
Harley’s will always be rip offs- early 20th century tech for 2018 money, and 0 racing cred….harley fan boys ‘pandang slack’ at hi tech jap ‘ricers’ as they call it, but forget that the Japs were the ones that help resuscitate the dying cruiser market and that AMF kept the company long enough on life support from 69 to 81 for Willie G to buy it back.
Thank God for the Jap’s ripped off version of Harley’s bikes..
What do you mean? Naza?
You know… My birthday is on the 9th or March… I think this is some kind of sign that i should get a Harley
In Malaysia it is perceived as old man’s toy, because the riders are mostly more than 45 years old. At that age you have saved enough money to buy the bike of your dreams, unlike when you first started working. Your first dream bike would be a Kapchai Honda or a Yamaha then.
