If you don't mind? Which fact did I get incorrect?

Sorry my bad, I was not clear in what should be obvious, alas, obvious like common sense isn't.

Since we are discussing business models here I incorrectly spoke of US sales since U.S. business models do not work elsewhere in the world for various reasons. I do not lump business here with business overseas. Sorry.

While your figures are 10% variation depending on source I will accept your example for this purpose.

Different horse in the race. I understand why you were confused.

Well, with that qualifier it looks like Harley does sell more bikes in the US than any one other manufacturer, but they're hardly the lionshare of the total market.

I would not bet against it.
