Officially, the legendary motorcycle brand from Milwaukee left the Russian market back in March last year, but today almost all of its models are in stock unofficial dealers, and next year a mono-brand salon will even open in Moscow, that is, everything will be like the good old days, only a little longer and a little more expensive.
For many buyers of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the price does not matter much, but the lack of branded service support is a problem; motorcycles of this level require high-quality service, in addition, a significant part of Harley-Davidson’s business is the sale of branded accessories and merchandise (clothing, souvenirs, decorative items etc.) — all this disappeared after the beginning of well-known geopolitical events, but all this has already returned, so to speak, in a roundabout way.
Today, several large dealer networks sell Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the Russian Federation; the Avtodom company recently joined them, and it intends to become the main seller. The general director of the Avtodom company, Sergei Biryukov, formulates the task as follows: “By launching sales of the legendary brand, we set ourselves a goal that goes beyond financial results. Of course, we are working to ensure that the cost of motorcycles is as attractive as possible. We strive to match the lifestyle reflected in every Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Both dealers and clients are a large and friendly community of like-minded people. Avtodom's task is to earn the trust of the motorcycle community and lead the Harley-Davidson club movement in Russia.»

Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the Sport, Adventure Touring, Trike, Collections lines will also be available without any restrictions, but by pre-order.
