Harley-Davidson never took over AMF. AMF bought Harley-Davidson and then Harley-Davidson management bought it back. AMF was never part of Harley, it was the other way around.

I read that AMF sold Harley Davidson in 1981. When in 1981 did this happen?
AMF bought Harley in 1969, and sold in 1981.
1981,but Harley Davidsons line started back in 1982. Years 1969 to 1981 were AMF bikes.
AMF owned Harley from 1969 to 1981. During this time, Harley owned golf cart, snowmobile and motor home divisions.
In 1981, AMF sold the company to a group of thirteen investors led by Vaughn Beals and Willie G. Davidson for $80 million.
Harley has had two major problems. The first problem came before AMF bought them, and is the reason AMF bought them: they were running out of money. After AMF bought them, the problem was they made terrible motorcycles.
its a 1972
AMF developed the motor. The Evo motor was just sitting on the shelf at HD when AMF sold out.
