Miguel Duhamel in 1994 was picked by Harley-Davidson as the rider to debut its new VR1000 Superbike... Led parts of the Mid-Ohio and Brainerd Superbike finals on the VR1000, the first and only time the Harley led an AMA Superbike race.
In 1995-Named AMA Pro Athlete of the Year... Duhamel became the first Canadian to win the AMA Superbike title... In HP4 600 SuperSport Duhamel was equally dominant winning nine of the 11 rounds... he returned to Honda and set a record of six consecutive AMA Superbike victories with his win at Sears Point, breaking a record of five consecutive wins set by Wayne Rainey in 1986... Broke record held by Doug Polen of consecutive 600cc SuperSport wins with his eighth-straight victory set at Firebird Raceway... Recorded a third-place finish at the U.S. round of World Superbike.
So what the hell happened to the HD Superbike?

Found this, but why did they discontinue the program?
In 2001, Harley announced it ended its factory VR 1000 Superbike racing program.

Harley Working on New, Big-Bore, Liquid Cooled Engine?
With its first liquid cooled cruiser engine powering the V-Rod for several years, now, Harley is rumored to be working on large displacement, liquid cooled v-twins for future touring models. Rumored displacements? 2000cc and 2450cc!

Also from this page... https://www.ironheadsportster.com/1980-_1989.html
In 1980, On February 26, thirteen Harley-Davidson senior executives sign a letter of intent to purchase Harley-Davidson Motor Company from AMF. By mid-June, the buyback is official, and the phrase "The Eagle Soars Alone" becomes a rallying cry.
In 1982, Harley-Davidson crew tours Honda plant in Ohio to learn how to update production.
In 1983, 1983 Harley-Davidson successfully petitions the International Trade Commission (ITC) for tariff relief, which is granted April 1, 1983. The tariff, scheduled to end five years later, is placed on all imported Japanese motorcycles 700cc or larger as a response to Japanese motorcycle manufacturers stockpiling inventories of unsold motorcycles in the United States. One of Harley-Davidson's most unique endeavors begins: Harley Owners Group®. Fondly referred to as H.O.G.®, the Group immediately becomes the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle club in the world. Within six years, H.O.G. membership soars to more than 90,000. By the year 2000, it exceeds 500,000 members.
In 1985, Minutes away from bankruptcy, CEO Richard Teerlink convinced lenders to accept a restructuring plan. Using management principles adopted from the Japanese, new marketing strategies, and manufacturing techniques, Harley improved quality and began the long battle to regain its market share.
