Sick, just sick. Hopefully it's nothing at all more than a rumor. That'd be like taking all of the hamburgers and hotdogs in America and replacing them with Sushi and WonTon soup. It's just unamerican. I'd HATE to see this happen, and would definitely not be buying a Honda-Davidson...It'll be a sad day, indeed..
Yeah, it's bull$hit. A few months back there was a roomer of a buy out of Dow Chemical. Some investors got their hands on enough money to offer a $56 billion buyout. Dow's board turned it down, they even kicked off the board member who started the ball rolling. Honda would need almost as much cash as that to buy Harley. Unlikely to happen IMHO.
