$450,000,000 3.500% Senior Notes due 2025
$300,000,000 4.625% Senior Notes due 2045

We are offering two series of notes consisting of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due July 28, 2025 (the "2025
notes") and $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due July 28, 2045 (the "2045 notes" and, together with the 2025 notes, the
"notes"). We will pay interest on the notes semiannually in arrears on January 28 and July 28 of each year, beginning on January 28, 2016. The 2025 notes
will mature on July 28, 2025 and the 2045 notes will mature on July 28, 2045, in each case unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. We may redeem the
notes of either series in whole or in part at any time at the applicable redemption price described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the
Notes--Optional Redemption." If we experience a change of control triggering event as described in this prospectus supplement, unless we have exercised
our right to redeem the notes, we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes from holders at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the repurchase date. See "Description of the Notes--Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event."
The notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes; equal
in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any future secured
indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other
liabilities of our subsidiaries. The notes of each series will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We currently have no intention to apply to list the notes on
any securities exchange or to seek their admission to trading on any automated quotation system.

Investing in the notes involves risks, including those described or referred to in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page S-8 of this prospectus
supplement.

which gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the notes
we are offering. The description of the terms of the notes in this prospectus supplement supplements the description in the
accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities," and to the extent it is inconsistent with that description, the

themselves about and observe any such restrictions. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free
writing prospectus we have authorized do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation by anyone
in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not
qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.
You should not consider any information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing
prospectus we have authorized to be investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult your own counsel, accountant and other
advisors for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice regarding the purchase of the notes. We are not making any
representation to you regarding the legality of an investment in the notes by you under applicable investment or similar laws.

CAU T I ON ARY N OT E FOR FORWARD-LOOK I N G I N FORM AT I ON
The company intends that certain matters discussed in this prospectus supplement are "forward-looking statements" intended
to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-
looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the
company "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "plans," or "estimates" or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe
future plans, objectives, outlooks, targets, guidance or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date

· continue to develop the capabilities of our distributors and dealers and manage the risks that our independent dealers may

have difficulty obtaining capital and managing through changing economic conditions and consumer demand;

· successfully access the capital and/or credit markets on terms (including interest rates) that are acceptable to us and

within our expectations;

· effect repurchases of our common stock at share prices that are within our expectations;

complete the transition to the new direct distribution model in Canada on the timing, for the costs and at the foreign
currency exchange rates that are within our expectations;

· prevent a cybersecurity breach involving digital consumer, employee or dealer personal data;

· manage the impact that prices for used motorcycles may have on retail sales of new motorcycles;

· manage risks that arise through expanding international manufacturing, operations and sales;

· manage through the effects inconsistent and unpredictable weather patterns may have on retail sales of motorcycles;

· manage changes and prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for our products, services and

operations;

· manage supply chain issues, including quality issues and any unexpected interruptions or price increases caused by raw

material shortages or natural disasters;

· detect any issues with our motorcycles or any associated manufacturing processes to avoid delays in new model

launches, recall campaigns, increased warranty costs or litigation;

· develop and introduce products, services and experiences that are successful in the marketplace;

· develop and implement sales and marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new retail customers in

an increasingly competitive marketplace;

· address other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in other

documents that we file with the SEC.
In addition, we could experience delays or disruptions in our operations as a result of work stoppages, strikes, natural
causes, terrorism or other factors. Further, actual foreign currency exchange rates may vary from underlying assumptions.
Our ability to sell our motorcycles and related products and services and to meet our financial expectations also depends on
the ability of our independent dealers to sell our motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. We depend on
the capability and financial capacity of our independent dealers and distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales
plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from us.
In addition, our independent dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling
Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions or other factors.
You are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are only made as of the date of this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus or the applicable document incorporated by reference, and the company disclaims any obligation to
publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Our Com pa ny
Harley-Davidson, Inc. is the parent company for the groups of companies doing business as Harley-Davidson Motor
Company ("HDMC") and Harley-Davidson Financial Services ("HDFS"). We operate in two reportable segments: the
Motorcycles & Related Products ("motorcycles") reportable segment and the financial services reportable segment. Our
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based
on the fundamental differences in their operations.
The motorcycles reportable segment consists of HDMC which designs, manufactures and sells at wholesale street-legal
Harley-Davidson motorcycles as well as a line of motorcycle parts, accessories, general merchandise and related services.
HDMC manufactures six platforms of motorcycles: Touring, Dyna®, Softail®, Sportster®, V-Rod® and Street. Our products are
sold to retail customers through a network of independent dealers. HDMC conducts business on a global basis, with sales in
the following regions: North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The financial services reportable segment consists of HDFS, which provides wholesale and retail financing and insurance
and insurance-related programs primarily to Harley-Davidson dealers and their retail customers. HDFS conducts business
principally in the United States and Canada.

$354.2 million on consolidated revenue of $2.00 billion in the year-ago period. Our second quarter results reflect our decision in

United States and our commitment to manage supply in line with demand.
Dealer new motorcycle sales were down 1.4% worldwide for the second quarter compared to the year-ago period, but

2015 Share Repurchase Authorization
On June 17, 2015, we disclosed that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to an additional
15.0 million shares of our common stock with no dollar limit (the "2015 repurchase authorization").

share repurchase authorizations. As of June 16, 2015, 15.9 million shares remained under the prior share repurchase
authorizations.
We intend to use the proceeds of this offering to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time through the
remainder of 2015 pursuant to these share repurchase authorizations. These repurchases will be in addition to already planned
repurchases, which we had expected to be in line with repurchases we made in the second half of 2014. See "Use of

If we experience a "Change of Control Triggering Event" (as
T rigge ring Eve nt
defined in this prospectus supplement) with respect to a
series of notes, unless we have exercised our right to
redeem the notes as described above by giving irrevocable
notice on or prior to the 30th day after the date on which
such Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each holder
of the applicable series of notes will have the right to require

us to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's notes at a
price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
repurchase date as described more fully under "Description
of the Notes--Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control
Triggering Event."

Ra nk ing
The notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of our
future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of
payment to the notes; equal in right of payment to our
existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated;
effectively junior in right of payment to any future secured
indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all
existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our
subsidiaries. As of March 29, 2015, we had $5.9 billion of
outstanding indebtedness on a consolidated basis, all of
which was indebtedness of our subsidiaries to which the
notes would have ranked structurally junior. See "Description
of the Notes--Ranking."
