Our History
Performance Harley-Davidson® was originally formed in 1977, a division of a local Pontiac dealer. Harley-Davidson® at that time, was struggling to compete with relentless Japanese efforts to come to this market. The AMF Harley-Davidson® plan was to combat its competitors, try to grow at a fast pace, build lots of bikes and thus better serve Syracuse. David Sedlack also sensed the urgency of the H-D® growth as he emerged from nine previous years with the original Syracuse H-D® Dealership. Within five years Sedlack purchased the business and moved it to a five thousand square feet building on North Geddes Street. This current location has continued to develop and today's facility is a must see. Today's riding population in New York State is steadily growing. Not only is Performance Harley-Davidson® a destination dealership but some of the finest riding in the USA is located right here in Central New York. We have stunning geography, as vast as the numerous hills, rolling valleys, lakes, rivers, and mountains. Performance Harley-Davidson® stands strong as the Premiere Dealership for everything Harley-Davidson® in Central New York. If you have a question, comment or concern just let us know.
