Harley and Honda in bed together?

Is a Honda/Harley Merger Pure Hogwash?

Food for thought, could not beat them maybe buy them!

Reckon a HD buyout of Ducati would be more likely.
V twin, Good sound and a good potential to access the large US sportsbike market, that Buell bearly scrapes. Reckon the Yanks would patriotically favour an H.D.Cati .

It wouldn't all be bad, H0nd@ put proper brakes on there bikes from new, and they plate with chrome rather than sticking tinfoil on the shinny bits.

--& they come up with some nice names, - Fire-glide next year or a Fat- blade??
