Excerpts of the HD statement
Harley-Davidson also unveiled major elements of its go-forward business
strategy to drive growth through a single-minded focus of efforts and
resources on the unique strengths of the Harley-Davidson brand, and to enhance
productivity and profitability through continuous improvement. As approved
yesterday by Harley-Davidson's Board of Directors, the Company will
discontinue its Buell product line and divest its MV Agusta unit as part of this strategy.
"As our announcement regarding Buell and MV Agusta indicates, we are moving
with the speed and decisiveness required to bring our business strategy to
life," said Wandell. "The fact is we must focus both our effort and our
investment on the Harley-Davidson brand, as we believe this provides an
optimal path to sustained, meaningful, long-term growth."
