Edward Aaron of RBC Capital Markets Corp. said a buyout by Honda would be "highly unlikely" for both regulatory and cultural reasons.
"This speculation is unfounded, in our view, and is likely to subside," he said, referring to a rumor first reported on a trading Web site.[/Quote]
Last week we were reading about a merger with Ducati. Hardley will always simply be Hardley until they fade away like Indian.

Man, Harley is making so much money its not even funny.
There is no other business on the planet that could use their approach; sell the same product year, after year, after year and raise the already insanely high price year, after year, after year and still sell your wares as quick as you can stamp them out.... Ok, maybe oil companies can pull it off too...
Gotta at least give them some ups for that!
Heck who would not want buy that outfit?

I like my '05 Harley Davidson Super Glide Sport because I accept it's limitations. However, this is the last HD I will ever purchase because of those limitations of bad brakes, handling and performance. Even upgrading the engine with Screaming Eagle parts such as a big bore kit, cams, larger fuel injection, new pipes and a remap was an expensive disappointment.
they're already built with imported parts, just built in america like toyoya automobiles. just ask anyone whos torn one down and isnt afraid to admit it. im no harley hater and ride with a lot of guys that own them. id own one myself if they accelerated, stopped and handled decently
Article states that Harley has a "high margin profile" i.e, they get waaaaay more for the bike they sell than it costs for them to make it. It is truly amazing how people will pay so much for something just to get the brand name, just to fit in. It would be interesting to know the actual cost of say, a $25,000.00 Harley.

I pick up a 04 fxsti two years ago. 16 k out the door and 7k in upgrades. 6 month after purchase I had to have the frame replaced due to broken poor quality welds. I almost had to sue the company to get it warrantied. After taking a full photo write up and promised to expose the company in any and all media outlets possible they finally agreed to hold up their end. Personaly I hope some one would by them out and burn down the plant.
Until the I will keep my big shiny tractor in the garage and ride the busa till the wheels fall off.

A few weeks back i was in the area so i walked into harley davidson of fort lauderdale just for the heck of it.Youd be surprised at the things i saw in there with the harley label on them.Baby feeder bottles,towels,just about everything you can use in your house including a computer mouse to a blender.
Their products might suck but i was shocked at how people were paying that overpriced stuff simply because of the HD logo on it.
They are making SERIOUS money thats for sure.

Ditto, I had a Buell. After 4000.00 in engine upgrades it was still a slug and to top it off the new starter leaked oil so badly it was all over the back tire.
I had to get rid of it after I was missing gear 2 quite often I thought the transmission was about to go and was tired of pouring money in to a bike that sat in the shop more than on the road.
