H-D1 Marketplace
Described as the "ultimate destination for pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles in North America," Harley's new H-D1 Marketplace appears to be an integral part of the new production and pricing policy being driven by Project Hardwire.
H-D1 Marketplace will provide consumers with "the most comprehensive opportunity to search, experience, sell and purchase pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles across North America. Backed by the strength and scale of our dealer network and enhanced by the Harley-Davidson Certified program for extra peace of mind, H-D1 Marketplace will facilitate a seamless purchase experience.

"This is the first step towards our ambitious transformation of H-D.com into the leading online destination for everything Harley-Davidson," said Zeitz. "The H-D1 Marketplace platform will connect our customers, community and our strong dealer network with the goal to become the largest marketplace for pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the United States."
Launching first in USA, H-D1 Marketplace will "start with the entire selection of pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles from our participating dealer network, that will be available for our customers to browse and customize online. Powered by H-D Financial Services, customers will have access to innovative, industry-leading financing solutions, to make purchasing even easier." Through the 'Sell My Bike' feature, customers will also be able to sell their motorcycles directly into the Harley-Davidson dealer network.
"H-D1 Marketplace also fulfills our Hardwire objective to include riders of pre-owned Harley-Davidsons as an important part of the H-D customer base, recognizing their unique perspectives and contributions to the brand."
The H-D1 Marketplace will highlight motorcycles offered through the recently introduced and growing Harley-Davidson Certified program. All H-D Certified pre-owned motorcycles have been subjected to a comprehensive 110-point quality-assurance inspection by certified Harley-Davidson technicians, are sold with a 12-month factory-backed limited warranty on the engine and transmission and benefit from new motorcycle finance rates and terms.
H-D1 Marketplace launches in North America with the pre-owned inventories of all qualifying Harley-Davidson dealers.
