Missed this release last week.

1H bike shipments down 8.5% but exclude the Multistrada and it would be down 20.9%. Delivery of 4,000 pre-sold Sport Classics will boost revenues in 4Q, but how many will actually take delivery given economic doom and gloom?

On the positive side, shipments to North America and Japan were up on last years first half.
Would be interesting (in a funky finger tapping beancounter kinda way) to compare the other manufacturers results for same period....or maybe not.
