Who cares about who owns Harley davidson Motor company ?

Where did this information come from? That being a French company is the real owner of HD. Did this alleged company buy HD outright or are they the largest single shareholder?

I looked and found no evidence of French ownership.

Who Owns Harley Davidson

I'm absolutely certain that Harley Davidson didn't contact "Mattel" or "Piggy Bank Co." or "Teddy Bear Mfg." to ask if they would put the H-D logo on their products. Ultimately, H-D is certainly being paid for the uses but, it seems MUCH more likely that it was the toy manufacturers looking to capitalize on Harley's success and image that is, as has always been, ONLY Harley Davidsons. As for "JeffyB's" comment about price and quality. Keep in mind that "Price" and "Quality" go hand in hand. The fact that H-D is 30 yrs. "behind" in technology is because thats how they and everybody who owns a REAL motorcycle wants it. They leave the "constantly evolving image" or "copying the other guy" to the Metric companies who FINALLY realized ( after 30 years or so ) what people want a motorcycle to look and sound like. As for "Quality" ..... I think the fact that MANY 30, 40 and 50 year old Harley Davidson cycles are still on the road and in better operating condition than alot of newer metrics ( go to any reputable M/C ralley and look around, you'll see them by the THOUSANDS ).

WHY?????

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avUEH

Harley changed their direction many years ago. Their marketing strategy changed from selling bikes to selling a lifestyle. Got to hand it to them though... it sure has worked. Look how many non-riders, wannabes and RUBs think the only way to go is on an HD. Hey, whatever makes your boat float though, and right now (that being key) 'the motor company' is floating all the way to the bank.

Since Harley is owned by Americans, what is the purpose of this question?? Yes they do use Jap shocks now, and yes some of it is assembled in Mexico from parts shipped there from Milwaukee, then shipped back, but again, why the question??

A lot people care about the ownership of companies.I like my money to go to American workers.If every thing was made in America, living conditions , would be much better

i own a Harley and a Suzuki. i could careless

who owns either company. not a big deal.

i just like to ride my bikes.

As long as it's not a sporting goods company, I don't.

Je ne parle pas Francaise.

Hey if Harley riders want to ride French motorcycles to each his own. Maybe Harley guy needs to start sewing the French flag to the back of their Harley jackets. Or a French flag inside a #1. Maybe instead of dressing up is assless leather chaps and white boy doo rags they will start wearing a beret, painting their faces white and wearing a striped leotard. I'm going to start calling Harleys 'brie burners'.
