I think that the MidYear release HD is hoping for is for some dealers to release a few 09s from their inventory.
No chit there! I'm anxious to see what they say on Friday.
"And in other news, Harley-Davidson has announced that it will be acquired by Honda. The new company will be known as 'Honda-Davidson' and will incorporate the same quiet engine technology perfected in Honda's Goldwing line. Says the new company's CEO, Ima Dippe-Shyte, 'We've found that our customers really don't enjoy loud motorcycles. We think that our new, bigger family will be very happy with our redesigned motorcycles.'"
I'm guessing they will have something to announce to the dealers, otherwise they probably would have waited to announce the XR1200. They need something new to drive customers in to the dealerships.
