Anyway,MV is MV because of the way they are made and the use of nothing but top-notch components. Sure possibly HD could come in and start cost cutting and buying cheaper parts from dubious suppliers instead of using the established first class vendors that MV uses now. They could stop using the best brakes,suspension,fuel injection,rims,etc to save money. Who knows,they could sell you a bike for $10,000 with MV stickers on it...would it be the same bike? I don't think so.

Volume discount does not equal lower quality parts.
