Court posted a portion of this yesterday; the link below is to the full transcript. Much of it's over my head, but perhaps Ft_bstrd, Doerman, or someone more involved with finance can glean some info of interest: http://seekingalpha.com/article/166808-harley-davi dson-inc-q3-2009-earnings-call-transcript | ||

We will build off our unique expertise to develop relevant products that attract even more young adults, woman and other new customers in to the Harley-Davidson brand. Like a sport bike... | ||

If H-D does "develop" a sportbike, I'm pretty sure it's going to fall flat on it's face, no matter how cool it may be. Reasoning: 1.) That demographic they're dying to get ahold of simply will NOT consider anything tied directly to the chrome-n-assless-chaps brigade. They had a better chance of that using the Buell name, and the Buell history. With Erik out of it, there's not a chance in hell. 2.)Those of us that would be willing to make the leap were already Buell fans, and they have successfully pissed off every one of us. Let their bean counters chew on that. ~SM |
