A spokesman for Harley-Davidson declined to comment on the talk and a call requesting comment from the U.S. unit of Honda was not immediately returned.
"We don't typically comment on market speculation or on day to day market activity," said Bob Klein, a spokesman at Milwaukee-based Harley.
Several analysts, however, characterized the talk as far- fetched and suspiciously timed.
Tim Conder, an analyst at A.G. Edwards, said he believed the rumor was "false based on several factors," not the least of which was a combined company would control nearly 60 percent of the U.S.
