Business Description

This motorcycle and trike tour business would have to be every bike enthusiast's dream.  The purchase price includes a 2002 Harley-Davidson Softail Trike and a 2006 Harley Heritage Softail Classic.  Both bikes look immaculate and sound fantastic, as all Harleys do!  This is a business which gives the owner a great lifestyle and is a tonne of fun.  All your customers are happy and have nothing but good things to say about their unique experience.

The website draws most of the bookings and has a whole page of testimonials from happy passengers.  Tours range from simple one hour tours to custom designed tours lasting several days.  Harley-Davidsons  have a universal aura about them and a mystique which is hard to explain.  Even non bikers know and love the sound of a Harley.  They are the only bike guaranteed to turn heads when they roar past.  Passengers love that distinctive burble, the feeling of power as they sweep around tight corners, along the Hinterland Range road.  There is a sense of freedom, a surge of adrenalin that only a bike ride can give you.  It is a unique experience that is often the highlight of a person's holiday.  Unusual tours include pub crawls, the Valley Rattler, wine tours and some people use the trike as a wedding vehicle.  The possibilities are endless. 

There is ample potential to really "grow" this business.  The current owner was happy with the turnover of $89,000 for 2009, but there is a lot of untapped potential.  He has 4 contract riders, who use their own Harleys and Trikes and this would be a good starting point to expand the business. TV advertising is relatively cheap and is very effective.  A simple 30 second ad run just once a week would significantly increase the bookings. Tourists are always looking for something different to experience and all people want something unique for a gift.  The existing owner has started a novel  "Gift Voucher", $100 upwards and the response has so far exceeded his expectations.  This could be promoted more heavily. 

The bike has been meticulously maintained; the 2002 Softail was completely rebuilt a few weeks ago and has been beautifully repainted.  Both bikes look superb. Passengers love them.

This business is eligible for an Austrade grant to promote the business overseas.
