Shares of Harley-Davidson are up by six percent which is their highest for four months. This is said to be due to the rumoured takeover by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts the private equity firm.

It looks like many Wall Street traders are putting money on a leverage buyout of the famous American motorcycle manufacturer.

Unfortunately neither Harley-Davidson nor KKR are willing to comment on these findings, however neither have declined the rumours. Check out AutoBlog for a full rundown.

      Harley's dead. The custom bike enthusiasts have gone over to the Japanese power bikes, leaving Harley with a market of over 50's. The bikes are updated designs from the 40's and are undependable and overpriced. They should have seen the trend 15 years ago and began producing more powerful, more advanced bikes that would appeal to younger buyers, but it's too late.
