REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harley-Davidson, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harley-Davidson, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and
2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed
in the index at item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Harley-Davidson, Inc. at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), Harley-Davidson, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
