Harley expands into Leeds

Following expansion into Leeds, Yorkshire’s only authorised Harley-Davidson and Buell UK dealer is now the largest distributor of the legendary motorcycles in the north of England. The Summer Retail group – owners of the Manchester, Newcastle and Doncaster franchises – has extended its reach with the opening of Leeds Harley-Davidson at the former Eddie Wright facility on Kirkstall Road. The group has employed the existing workforce and will be looking to create more jobs when they open a new facility later this year. “With the existing strong working relationship that we have with Harley-Davidson and Buell UK and our other established dealerships in the north, it made sense for us to take over as Leeds Harley-Davidson,” says John Cooke. “The city is vibrant and there is a lot of ongoing development. We wanted to be part of that to create a new Harley-Davidson dealership that is worthy of the city.” The dealership will unveil four new models in the next two months. The Harley-Davidson Softail Rocker and Cross Bones will be on display on 29 and 30 March, while the new liquid-cooled Buell 1125R and Ulysses XB12XT will be unveiled on 12 and 13 April.
