Would that brand compete with Buell, or is that a whole other kind of animal?

Buell doesn't compete for anything except last place in the sportbike world. Duc isthe opposite.

I think that kind of merger would actually be cool. Would open up a whole new market for HD.

Sad but true. This year you might not be able to say that though, with the new 1125R on it's way.
