    Harley Davidson bought MV Augusta?!?!

    Just heard on the radio this morning.  Maybe this is old news, but I had never heard it before.  Seems like a strange buy for Harley.  Anyone else got any info on this?

    I'm retarded.  Just saw the whole story on the home page here.  Nevermind.

    I have yet to go look at the home page, but Some of my friends have been informed by some engineers at Harley that they are coming out with a Sport bike soon...... so it might make sense...... now to go look for this "home page"........

    Ever heard of Buell? 

    It's just another transition in the motor world, wanted or not.  It will be interesting to see what develops out of this.

    Buell is a special case because it was co-engineered with HD (or used HD engineering resources), if I recall the story of the originator of the Buell legacy (Eric Buell).

    this is like Ford buying Jaguar or Chrysler buying/merging with Daimler.

    No, I said Harley is coming out with a sport bike, under the Harley badge, not Buell.
