The highest jump is witnessed in the flagship Harley-Davidson Road Glide, which now costs Rs 45.75 lakh (around RM 262,300 in Malaysia), marking a steep increase of Rs 3.45 lakh from its earlier pricing. This places the Road Glide as one of the most premium offerings in Harley’s India portfolio. Other popular models like the Street Glide, Fat Bob, Breakout, and Pan America 1250 Special have also received substantial hikes, making Harley-Davidson ownership even more exclusive.
Touring Models See the Biggest Price Impact
The touring motorcycles from Harley-Davidson have faced the largest price changes under the new tax regime. The Road Glide now costs Rs 45.75 lakh (approx. RM 262,300), compared to the earlier Rs 42.30 lakh. The Street Glide follows closely, with its new tag of Rs 42.50 lakh (about RM 243,900), up from Rs 39.30 lakh. These price jumps clearly reflect how the increased GST slab heavily impacts high-displacement touring machines, making them significantly costlier for enthusiasts in India.
Updated Prices for Harley-Davidson Cruisers
The cruiser family, always a favorite among Indian riders, has not been spared either. The Harley-Davidson Breakout now retails at Rs 34.36 lakh (roughly RM 197,300), up by Rs 2.57 lakh from its old price. The Fat Boy has also jumped to Rs 28.03 lakh (around RM 160,800), marking an increase of Rs 2.13 lakh. Meanwhile, the Heritage Classic is listed at Rs 25.71 lakh (approx. RM 147,700), which is Rs 1.86 lakh higher than before. These increases indicate that even the lifestyle-focused cruisers are now much more expensive under the revised pricing.
Adventure Touring and Sport Models Revised
Harley’s adventure touring machine, the Pan America 1250 Special, now carries a price of Rs 27.16 lakh (about RM 156,000), up from Rs 25.10 lakh. Among sport-oriented models, the Sportster S now costs Rs 18.05 lakh (approx. RM 103,500), reflecting a hike of Rs 1.35 lakh. The Nightster range has seen the smallest adjustments, with the standard Nightster priced at Rs 14.54 lakh (around RM 83,300), while the Nightster Special is set at Rs 15.38 lakh (roughly RM 88,100). These comparatively smaller jumps make the Nightster series the most accessible options in Harley’s updated lineup.
