Taekwon Kim, CEO of S&T Motors, and Frank White, President of ATK, signed a multi-year $100 million dollar contract. According to terms of this contract, signed on May 25

"This contract signifies that the world's best motorcycle market has acknowledged the high technical skills, outstanding quality and the competitive price of S&T products," says Kim. White agrees about the level of quality and the fact that the price is right. "Dealers who have tested some of our first ATK/S&T motorcycles are very satisfied with the overall quality, and they are ready to be a part of this bit of history."

White adds; "Our strategy is for ATK to be the second American brand in select Harley-Davidson dealerships. The prime focus of our initiative is to be a feeder brand to the V-Twin dealers — similar to what Scion has been to Toyota." White is quick to explain that The Harley- Davidson Motor Company does not endorse or support this joint venture in any way. White states; "Nevertheless, our new products fit the current Harley-Davidson dealer need and move to offer both the dealer, and more importantly, the retail customer, a complete staircase of V-twin based products, which only acts to complement the current Harley-Davidson product line-up."

"The approach is simple; get new and younger riders to go into the Harley-Davidson dealerships," explains White. "We want to capture those customers who are initially looking for a smaller displacement motorcycle, at an affordable price, and then over time these new riders will develop the aspiration for a traditional Harley-Davidson."

According to S&T CEO Taekwon Kim, this partnership is a win-win for ATK, S&T and for the dealers, saying, "We are happy to be a part of the „Confidence in America‟ moving forward and expanding what we see the conventional brands have brought to the marketplace."
