who ships harley davidson motorcycles to dealerships ?

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are shipped to dealerships through a network of logistics and transportation partners that specialize in vehicle transport.

Here’s how the shipping process generally works:

• Domestic Shipments (U.S.): Harley-Davidson uses freight carriers and logistics companies experienced in handling motorcycles. In the U.S., companies like J.B. Hunt and Ryder have been known to provide transportation services.
• International Shipments: For global markets, Harley-Davidson relies on container shipping via sea freight, working with global freight forwarders and logistics providers to handle customs and delivery to international dealerships.
• Crating and Protection: Motorcycles are often shipped in protective crates or specialized containers to prevent damage during transit.

Dealers typically receive the bikes partially assembled and finish final setup and inspection before displaying them for sale.
