Go buy an MV Agusta now....

I'm not sure where all the "price cutting" talk came from. In terms of value, MV's are priced better than HD's. For the same amount of money, you can get either a Brutale 910 or a Fat Bob. One has ~140 hp, weighs ~420 lbs., and has modern suspension. The other doesn't even list hp, only torque, weighs over 700 lbs., and has the same suspension as my 1986 Yamaha Radian. Guess which one is which. Granted, HD may resource parts or restructure current business arrangements, but don't expect any of that to filter down to the end user.

A lot of folks (including myself) will slam HD for their designs, and lack of modernization. However, they know how to run their business. I have no fear that the MV brand will be tainted in any way. If anything, HD's financial stability will help MV stay a low volume, high end bike maker. In the long run, MV fans will be glad that HD took over and allowed MV's to still roll onto the street.
