Don't know if this has been brought up here or not.

Forbes came out with a rumor the Honda may be purchasing Harley! It's being talked about in the financial world so there may be some thruth to the attempt. Honda and Harley combined would own 65% market share of motorcycles being sold with Yamaha being second at 16%, so I'm guessing the govt. would allow it, but it might be kinda interesting to watch...

Hope my Honda's don't start dripping oil and breaking down just hearing about this!

maybe if you used that little search thingy at the top it would help

I don't think it will happen no matter what. The govt has some problems with monopolies....... But we'll see.....

It may only be a rumor but it was enough to make "the street" flinch. And to get an article on Forbes!
