the Moco already bought up a bunch of outstanding stock before they picked up MV. This was to insure they werent prime for a hostile takeover. Last I looked, they havent sold any off yet, so I wouldnt put much in that rumor

I should have known that most of you would slam me just for asking a question. I thank those of you that bothered to answer intelligently. And I apologize to all the others for asking my question. So much for the old saying "it never hurts to ask"

You start your "question" like an old lady starts gossip. You obviously have internet access. It would've been a lot easier and less painful for you to just Google it first before starting all this bs.

LOL! Kawasaki could probably buy Harley using nothing more than their petty cash fund. Don't forget, Kawi, like many Japanese companies, makes much more than just motorcycles.
