The illustrious american motorcykelproducent Harley-Davidson is experiencing declining sales in its home country, and it has got the to look toward new markets and, not least, away from the great and brawny motorcycles, which has defined the brand through the decades.

Nyhedsmediet CNN Business writes that Harley-Davidson is betting big on increasing its foothold in the international market, and in particular, Asia is in the american binoculars. Therefore, one is now gone along with the manufacturer Qianjiang Motorcycle Company to build a small motorcycle, which fits in to the chinese market.

the Motorcycle to be built together with Qianjiang, shall at a later stage be sold outside China's borders. Harley-Davidson just did not with to play on one of the horse in Asia, but according to CNN also produced its own motorcycles in Thailand since last year.
