Besides selling roughly 1,000 Harleys annually, the motorcycle dealership also does a land-office business in Harley-branded clothes, merchandise, and jewelry, as well as parts and accessories.
The transaction also includes an adjacent commercial real estate development, Destination Daytona. All told, the purchase covers more than 100 acres of real estate, including a hotel, restaurants, and rental condos, in addition to the dealership.
