During 2013, wholesale shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycles were up 5.2% compared to the prior year and within
the Company’s expected shipment range of 259,000 to 264,000 motorcycles. International shipments as a percentage of the
total were up slightly in 2013 as compared to 2012. The Company remains committed to investing in international growth and
continues to believe that international retail sales will grow at a faster rate than the rate of growth of domestic retail sales over
the next three to five years(1). In addition, shipments of touring motorcycles and custom motorcycles as a percentage of total
shipments increased in 2013 compared to the prior year while shipments of Sportster motorcycles as a percentage of total
shipments declined. The Company believes the increase in touring motorcycle shipments, as a percentage of total shipments,
was driven by demand for model-year 2014 motorcycles. Also, as expected, wholesale motorcycle shipments in the fourth
quarter of 2013 were down compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 in advance of the launch of seasonal surge manufacturing at
the Company's Kansas City facility in early 2014. Consequently, retail inventory in the U.S. was approximately 1,850 units
lower than at the end of 2012. The Company expects U.S. retail inventory at the end of 2014 to be up from the end of 2013
primarily driven by the addition of the Company's new Street models(1).
