Prediction: Sale of Harley-Davidson The iconic motorcycle brand has suffered a decline in sales and net income and could make an attractive acquisition target at the right price. According to Dow Jones Investment Banker, the main factor would be Harley’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity for continuing operations and to control loan delinquencies from sales funding. Potential acquirers for both Harley and its MV Agusta division could include private equity or even a Middle Eastern or Asian sovereign wealth fund hoping to tap into demand among the Chinese and Indian middle classes. Harley-Davidson declined to comment.

wouldn't be a bad thing, imo. any sane owner (unlike the present owners) would either re-introduce buells, or sell buell to someone wanting to produce the bikes, instead of yust shutting them down. doug s. |
