where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

One hell of a ride.
Why? - they have been going 105 years, are cashed up after 20 good years and have 'Forbes magazine Company of the year' corporate governance.Aww dang
Sounds a whole lot more attractive than being owned by Proton.

Nooooooooooo
The best of Italian Class Bikes owned by American asses (note I don't think they are upto the standard of being called arses). That would be like GM buying out Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Can't understand it - what's the value proposition for HD?
One hell of a ride.
There you go introducing logic to uncredited supposition again.
Ducati built bikes for them in the past?

Sounds like an awesome pairing. M.V while undoubtedly capable engineers seem to lack the management drive to move forward .
Buell has given Harley a leg into sports-bikes, M.V will cement Harley's corporate drive by delivering 4 cyl Jap clones. Smart thinking!
Given the re-invention of Harley, their ability to sell a lifestyle AND develop stunning new models [V-rod, 1025 Buell] I would be watching very closely.

Ferrari = owned by FiatNooooooooooo

Who are at least Italian
German but still European with a high standard of engineering
Funny thing is HD is doing better out of US than in it. Jap Cruisers are getting Popular there (I wonder why).
We are suckers when it comes to brand names. Look at what we pay for Levis here when they are common muck in the States.

Didn't know about Ducati building bikes for them, but Aermacchi did (first HD had a 50% stake, then finally a 100% stake) and it didn't work out real well for themSlap a HD logo on all these beautiful lightweight road racers... brand dilution. They're back to building aeroplanes now.
