Don't forget triumph. Yea, they aren't american made, but in my mind sending money to the brits is not as bad as sending money to the japanese. And certainly not as bad as the chinese.
I think triumph might take more market share from harley than victory sometimes.
2010 Harley shipped 210,494 down 5.6% from 2009
2010 Victory shipped 81,624 up from 55% from 2009
Victory hasn't shipped many to my neck of the woods, as I see just about as many Indians as Victorys. Both nice bikes, but very much in the minority numerically according to my unofficial visual calculations.

Victory may have shipped that number of bikes since forever, but not last year. Last summer a Victory executive said "60 or 70 thousand." as a total production number since inception. http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2010/...md-first-ride/

But if ya look at the link in #3 for 09 Victory was down 56% and HD 37%: HD lost more in 10 than Victory but is still ahead in the net loss category. Victory has still lost more than HD over the last two years.
