The new prices will make them even more desirable.
Harley-Davidsons will soon be available in Penang and Melaka, too.

Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya has also published the prices of Harley-Davidson motorcycles with 0% GST.

Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya: Same Great Bikes, Now More Affordable

But now with this tax holiday, they are now even more attractive, since it is 0% GST not only for new bikes but also for accessories, spare parts and maintenance.

Please refer to the list below for the new prices. However, please ignore the typo that says “Effective Date as of 1^st January 2018.” The new prices will be effective from 1^st June 2018 onwards until further notice, depending on the Ministry of Finance’s decision to revert to SST.

We would like to bring your attention to a few models.

TOURING

It was Harley-Davidson who pioneered the full-dress touring motorcycles we see today, so it is only natural that the Motor Company continue with the tradition.

The Ultra Limited and there are three variants. Prices will start from RM 206,300.
As for the bagger version of the Electra Glide, called the Street Glide, prices start from RM 174,700.
There is also the new Road Glide as tested by Keshy Dillon in Croatia, with prices starting from RM 174,700.

SOFTAIL

The Softail lineup consists of motorcycles that are designed for maximum visual impact, but bear in mind that the new Softails are engineered for better riding, comfort and performance.

The new Street Bob starts from RM 107,200.
The “slammed” and “stretched” (meaning low and long) Breakout starts from RM 143,600 (107 c.i. model).
The iconic Fat Boy has gone through some changes but still remains unmistakably a Fat Boy. Prices will start at RM 138,300 for the 107 c.i. model.

SPORTSTER

Harley’s Sportsters have always been the best-seller among beginners, lady-bikers and those who seek performance. The new prices are interesting to say the least.

Price for the Iron 883 begin at RM 81,200.
The super-popular Forty-Eight’s new price begins at RM 92,800. There is also the Forty-Eight Anniversary which is priced from RM 99,800.

CVO

Of course, we cannot skip the CVO’s which stands for Custom Vehicle Operations, meaning that these are special factory customs. There are four models for 2018:

CVO Ultra Limited, priced from RM 328,900.
CVO Ultra Limited Anniversary, from RM 353,300.
CVO Street Glide, from RM 285,100.
CVO Road Glide, also from RM 285,100.

So, along with Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya’s focus on aftersales and customer knowledge, it is the best time to get one.

Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya “Shop Talk”

Harley-Davidson of Petaling (HDPJ) called upon Harley owners for a “shop talk.”
The talk covered technical, features of the 2018 Softail range.
The talk included the brake service campaign, introduction to the new engine and bikes, and Motorclothes.

Knowing you’re riding the best motorcycle is one thing, learning about what makes it tick is quite another level altogether.

Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya decided to impart their knowledge of the brand to owners by holding a “shop talk,” where they interact with Harley-Davidson specialists about their bikes, myths, service campaigns and new products.

The event got off to a start with the presentation of the brake service campaign. As we reported earlier (please click here for the article), the Motor Company had decided to recall 2008 to 2011 Touring, CVO Touring and V-Rod models with ABS to have their brake fluid replaced. Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya (HDPJ) has received the new Platinum Line Brake Fluid and is set to get the campaign rolling.

HDPJ’s Technical Specialist also informed the owners that a motorcycle’s brake fluid has to be replaced every 2 years, regardless of mileage covered.

If you own any of the above models, please get in touch with HDPJ’s Service Department to determine if your Harley is affected.

HDPJ moved on to present the new Milwaukee-Eight engine and 2018 Harley-Davidson lineup. Presentation was first carried out on the screen before being moved to the new Fat Bob and Street Glide on display. Those present had the firsthand view of the new features on the new models, such better suspension, brakes, styling. Harleys are truly much more refined these days, without losing their identity.

Do note that Harley’s Shop Talk sessions aren’t one-way traffic; owners were encouraged to formulate their questions when the invitation was published. Therefore, there were many questions, a few myths and concerns that were raised. HDPJ addressed them expertly and professionally.

Lastly, HDPJ presented the 2018 Motorclothes lineup. Motorclothes is Harley-Davidson’s official range of rider wear which consists of everything a Harley owner could think of, plus plenty of Harley-Davidson paraphernalia and merchandise.

Seeing that the owners adjourned feeling elated, they must’ve gained some new knowledge of their trusty steeds from the shop talk.

Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya: Same Great Bikes, Now More Affordable

The new Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya is offering great ways to those who want to get into the Harley lifestyle.
Costs of ownership and maintenance are now more viable at HDPJ.
HDPJ has waived the localisation fee for Harleys purchased via parallel importers.

Owning a motorcycle should be a great joy to anyone but owning one from a brand steeped in history and heritage is extra special. It’s through this heritage that the look, feel and sound of the bike, how it rumbles to life and down the road with the wind in your face flies in the face of convention. Additionally, the lifestyle, camaraderie among the owners and convoy experiences are priceless.

But how much does one need to “relinquish” for a “membership?”

We’ve heard great things about the new Harley-Davidson dealership, Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya (HDPJ), and decided to snoop around.

What we found was HDPJ is attracting more riders in Malaysia to experience the world of Harley-Davidson, through more attractive financing, lower costs of ownership and professional aftersales service.

AFTERSALES SERVICE:

Non-discriminatory policy towards all Harley owners, regardless if the bikes were purchased previously through official channels or parallel importers.
No “localization fee” for “recon” Harleys and all owners will enjoy the same labour rates and parts prices.
The showroom is fully stocked but the workshop is extensive as HDPJ is focusing on aftersales.

The previous hourly labour rate was too high, so HDPJ reduced it accordingly.
Parts prices are also lower than before despite the high USD-MYR exchange rate.

A Harley-Davidson Standard Service means a 24-point check all around the motorcycle for functionality and safety, which includes lubing the cables, checking the battery and electrics, electronic diagnostics, inspecting if all fasteners are properly torqued, inspecting the drive belt and pulleys, inspecting the brake pads and discs (with proper tools), etc. etc.

A minimum price to service a Sportster 883 complete with the 24-point check, standard replacement of washers, Harley-Davidson engine oil, and 1.5-hour labour charge adds up to below RM400.

Compare that to this Editor’s personal experience of servicing his Kawasaki ER-6f (at non-official workshops). Two liters of fully-synthetic engine oil, oil filter and two sparkplugs already cost in the vicinity of RM380 – without the 24-point check.

Besides that, a stator coil for the ER-6f is nearly RM1,300; compared to the stator coil for the Harley-Davidson Softail is RM1,400.

PRICES OF NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES:

HDPJ has also priced the new Harleys more “realistically” by 5% to 25% lower across the board.

The 2018 (base) Sportster Forty-Eight is priced from RM 92,800, instead of RM 109,000 that it once was.

The new Street Bob is from RM 107,200 instead of RM 130K plus.

Attractive financing scheme for buyers – 3.5% per annum – the lowest in the industry.

We also decided to ask a couple of Harley riders hanging around the café at The Gasket Alley. The first person was pleasantly surprised by the much lower price of maintenance. The other person we spoke felt at home at the new Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya, being welcomed and as part of a family.

It looks like Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya is worth visiting. So, book an appointment today for a test ride or service via Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya’s official website. You may also visit their official Facebook page for the latest updates.

Harley-Davidson Sportster Malaysia 4th Annual Run

As promised by Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya during their launch, there will be many rides and activities.
Apart for the inaugural Harley Owners Group of Petaling Jaya ride last month, the Sportster Malaysia group held their 4^th Annual Run today.
Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya welcomed the return of the Sportster Malaysia group.

30^th March 2018, Petaling Jaya – The Sportster Malaysia 4^th Annual Run got off to a great start today.

As promised by the new Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya (HDPJ) during their official launch, the Sportster Malaysia 4^th Annual Run is one of many activities to come for Harley owners. Starting from here, there will be more ambitions rides in the future.

The ride began at the Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya (HDPJ) dealership. Some 35 riders on 30 motorcycles assembled at The Gasket Alley from 7.30am. HDPJ provided a light breakfast and refreshments for the riders while awaiting the flag off.

A safety briefing was called afterwards and participants were given a explanation of safe riding techniques in the convoy, such as spacing, formation riding, hand signals, and road etiquettes They were also briefed on the route and filling points, with attention given to those bikes with the peanut tanks (8 litres). The convoy will ride through towns such as Batu Pahat on the way to their destination at the Mutiara Hotel in Johor Bahru.

The ride was flagged off at 9.30am, with the bigger bikes leading the convoy.

Have a safe ride, guys and gals!
