After a successful launch party of the new Harley-Davidson Petaling Jaya showroom, the new Harley-Davidson (H-D) distributor, Didi Resources, has released the 2018 Malaysia pricing for the entire range of H-D models. For 2018, H-D has three primary model groups – Touring, Softail and Sportster, with four models making up the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) range.

Special H-D models as are the Police and Trike machines, with the made in India Street 750 and Street Rod rounding up the stable as the entry-level into the H-D lifestyle.
