Gone are the days of the glossy motorcycle brochure.
Harley-Davidson has now created a brochure app for iPad that will keep you entertained for hours.
It’s much more than a brochure of their latest models, accessories and apparel, though.
It also has video, downloadable wallpapers and interactivity such as booking a test ride.
One of the coolest parts is selecting the colours, accessories, etc for your favourite bike and then sharing it with your friends.
This is all part of a Harley offensive to reach out to a new audience.
The typical Harley rider was aged over 45 and male.
Over the past few years the Milwaukee-based company has targeted women, young people and ethnic groups such as Hispanics.
They have used direct marketing, road shows and events such as Garage Parties strictly for women.
H-D international marketing general manager Ken Ostermann says the results have been quite a success with a lowering of the average age of customers, as well as a higher percentage of women and ethnic groups.
Tools such as this app will no doubt reach out an increasingly younger demographic.
You can download the app from iTunes for free.
Go to the App Store and search for “Harley-Davidson MY Brochure”.
