Kewll.
Thats good to hear, especially for those riding Buell.

As a side note, I noticed at the bottom of the release that HD is parent company to MV Agusta???
I thought that was history.?

I've seen that mentioned, but never anything official from the MOCO. I think it may have just been assumed that they were dumping MV Agusta along with Buell.

They're still the parent company to MV Agusta until they sell them. Looks like they just hired a firm to help do that.

DMG must be happy... now they can count on Buell to continue their dominance over undersized, underpowered competition.

I would be more pleased if this announcement resurrected their street bike production.
