I found this post last night at the Cycle World magazine forum, dated 10 March 2014:

Went by HD of Glendale today and learned Harley-Davidson has nixed their
plans to distribute EBRs. H-D will only allow EBRs to be sold out of a separate
facility and HD of G can't make that degree of $$$ commitment, so no EBRs. Too
bad since that particular dealership was one of the few that embraced Buells
more than half-heartedly.

I suspect lawyers are involved somehow.
Has anyone else heard anything like this?
