Maybe they could do this to bring in more money.
"Due to a higher volume of sales of clothing, accessories and other harley paraphernalia, and coupled with tight financial times that put a further squeeze on overpriced,under performing machinery, Harley Davidson has partnered with Proptronics to produce a specialty motorcycle called "Stylin Iron". Proptronics is the company famous for making fake appliances that are used in model homes for purposes of show only. In a brilliant management decision, Harley Davidson decided to face the fact that the only reason most people buy their equipment is indeed as fashion accessory. By building a prop motorcycle, costs can be dramatically cut. The new "Stylin Iron" will have the look and feel of a real Harley motorcycle and comes equipped with a recorded potato-potato synthesizer, smoky air pump to simulate exhaust and an adjustable rate oil leak. The bike is priced at under $1200 and will be available for the upcoming holiday season. The "Stylin Iron" is expected to be a huge success allowing fashion conscious Harley consumers to spend even more of their hard earned cash on leather, hats, jeans, Tshirts sunglasses, jewelery , leather dog vests and glasses along with related other junk. Engineers who have tested the "Stylin Iron" claim it performs just as well on the road given a suitable downhill grade and tailwind."

The beast is choking on $1B of bad debt.
Once the Baby Boomers are gone, so is Harley. The "Brubbrubbrub Bubble" will probably kill it before the Baby Boomers do.

Not too many people have ever heard of ATK except dirt bikers, so I doubt many people will be too trusting of this, especially when they Google it and find out most of the parts came from Korea

60% of a Harley is made of non US produced parts. But you ask the die hard HD people about that, and they will tell you you are wrong.
