Conclusion
View:
Females are now independent. They can live themselves. Women’s are now equal to men. They
doing most of things whatever man do. In many countries, women’s are driving cars in day to
day work. I think same happen with motorcycle industry.
Due to changes occur in the era, Harley catch the women segment and provide rides to them.
Many companies already started though for example India and china. Honda and TVS launched
a separate women series for women’s day to day work and ride.
According to my view, Harley is on the right track to settle down their business and live more
and more. It might HD loss their muscular image but he must gain lots of change and transform
the motorcycle industry. Women love most then other brands according to experts.
Suggestion:
5. According to me, HD should target different age group in the female rider segment.
It might be really good; if HD makes some different purposes motorcycle to cover
different groups. For example police bike, emergency bike service, for medical service,
postal services and scooter.
Electric bike is very good for the people. Because it is new source of power, green and
efficient. It is also suitable for women because it’s light weight body and less risky.
Over all it is good things for women to live more freely.
