It is unclear whether these bikes will come to India or not

A few weeks ago, Harley-Davidson announced its plans to launch a new adventure bike, a naked streetfighter and a small displacement bike developed specifically for ASEAN markets in the next few years. However, not stopping at that, Harley-Davidson now unveiled its updated range of CVO (custom vehicle operations) and touring motorcycles along with showcasing the sexy FXDR 114, which takes inspiration from drag-race bikes. Looking at the photographs, we couldn't help but see flashes of the Harley-Davidson Night Rod in the FXDR 114. This of course, is a global unveil and it is still unclear whether Harley-Davidson will bring these motorcycles to India or not.
