Harley-Davidson has sold MV Agusta back to former owner and chairman Claudio Castiglioni, just two years after buying the company.

The sale forms part of cost-cutting measures by Harley-Davidson, who have already closed down Buell, proposed closing their largest manufacturing plant and is also considering moving from it’s home of over 100 years in Milwaukee.

As if...just trying to squeeze the worker for every last buck.
Just get those fat assed exec's to take a pay cut and they'll save millions.Shareholders must be panicking again eh?

The V rod engine was designed and developed by Porsche, its a leftover relic which powered the VR1000 superbike in the mid 1990's
