"The credit crisis has significantly dampened sales even of an iconic brand like Harley-Davidson. Revenues fell for the second consecutive year. While sales growth in particularly bouyant markets like Latin America helped, a 13 percent sales plummet in the U.S. hit hard. The company continues to focus on reinforcing its heritage, which remains strong, by opening a Harley-Davidson Museum in its hometown of Milwaukee to coincide with the 105th anniversary of the company, and creating a 1940s inspired Cross Bones bike. It has also been making strides to appeal to younger customers, with the launch of the Iron 883 in January (with a suggested retail price under US $8,000) and the Dark Custom."
I don't see how that equates to a 43% drop, but it's their list, not mine.
