There is no doubt from a business perspective that they have too many models to chose from and they know it. They need to focus on the best sellers with the highest margins and retire the rest.

I think this is the case. Look how secretive they were on the cross bones an xr1200, not a peep until they decided to release the product.

I would like to see HD get through this stronger. Good times for all will be back soon.
+1 They will pitch the lowest sellers because they have to become more efficient with less. Any business person will tell you they market what sells, plain and simple.

Nothing was "leaked"...........they simply sent a letter throughout there dealership network to state what wasnt going to be available because dealers are ordering there 2010's starting yesterday.....letter stated colors that were going away as well as ALL the new colors available for 2010 (except for custom & CVO models).

Harley will leak nothing as our job's are more important than that......
