We want to sit in a better position to support consumers in this area," said Matt Levatich, President and Chief Operating Officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company, as reported by Motorcycle news.
HD ambition to create new markets while expanding into new areas, because it predicted sales moge shot 40 percent outside the U.S.. Last year alone, the contribution of retail sales outside the U.S. recorded 35.5 percent of the total, even the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 9.4 percent.
