MILWAUKEE – A report says that Harley-Davidson’s stock price is rising amid rumors that the company could be the ambition of a person or group desiring to make a leveraged buyout of the longtime Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker.

“The shares were up and calls are very active on unconfirmed talk that Harley-Davidson might be the subject of a leveraged buyout,” said What’sTrading.com options strategist Frederick Ruffy to Reuters.

Harley-Davidson officials refused to comment to Reuters on the report.
