Wedbush maintains an 'Outperform' on Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG) price target of $58.00.

Analyst, Rommel Dionisio, said, "Based on feedback from another survey of over 65 U.S. motorcycle dealers, we believe domestic retail sales trends for Harley-Davidson declined low- to mid-single-digits QTD, but have begun to see a pickup in early Sept. Dealers cited the primary reason for y/y declines in July and Aug. was the shifted timing of new product launches compared to last year. A year ago, Harley began shipping new MY12 introductions as early as June/July. However, as Harley shut down its largest manufacturing facility earlier this quarter due to a major ERP implementation, it decided to delay the timing of MY13 product launches timing to late-Aug."
