Harley-Davidson: Dealer survey shows mixed results - Raymond James Last week, Raymond James surveyed 30 Harley-Davidson dealers to gauge demand levels at retail. The results of the survey were somewhat mixed. Despite dealers indicating higher sales, inventory levels are also indicated to be higher. For dealers selling at MSRP, wait times have been shrinking and premiums have been falling for above MSRP dealers. Used bike prices are also lower. The firm found no evidence of financing incentives offered by HDI, but did find certain dealers that had arranged special financing offers through local financial institutions. Demand for the redesigned Sportster was consistently mentioned as strong.

Demand for the redesigned Sportster was consistently mentioned as strong. Demand for the new VROD model was more mixed. One dealer chose to not take his full allocation of VRODs for 2004. Based on recent industry sales, the firm believes that March could show another decline in HDI retail sales. --bloomberg.com daily chart stockcharts.com[w,a]daclyiay[pc40!c200!f][vc60][iut!Ul14!Uk14]&pref=G
