The rumor always pops up when Duc is for sale..
However it could happen this time
While ducs might not be sold in HD shops in the US. Hds could be sold in duc shops outside the US..
My other ride is a hd - it's been fine, I've had other bikes require more attention (cough cough ktm cough cough). Amongst my hd brethren there is some lack of understanding about the street line. Especially the street rod (hoped up street 750 just released). It's why make it, we've got the sportster. They don't get it. It wasn't made for the US.
In many other countries a motorcycle is a main source of transportation for many especially in urban spots (unlike the US where most are recreational). So hd needed something for em, that won't break the bank. HD's are hugely expensive in other countries and this the dealer network is sparser. So buying Duc would give hd a means of selling the street line to a bunch more as well enticing those with the $ to go bigger..
