Not really a surprise. A lot of people wanted a cooler running bike and the '14 provided this. Me...I'll still with air.

Motorcycle sales are only a small percentage of HDs profits. They make far more on parts and Motorclothes.

My local dealer has a whole warehouse full of "sold" '14s that they won't let people take delivery of because of the recall.

I am a stock holder and review the annual statement. I was surprised to learn that statement is wrong. I dug into it last year. The majority of income is from motorcycle sales.
