I didnt read anywhere that HD would completely take control over MV. They bought them out and that is about it. Mostly debt that they were paying to get the company. I think this will be great and hopefully make MV Agusta more of a household name in the US.

"Design Chief Massimo Tamburini will continue his leadership of MV Agusta Group's world leading sport-bike design studio." I don't think there is much to worry about...

It's damn closed minded to assume that HD being involved would automatically RUIN the bikes. What archaic thinking.

At least this is one American company that is buying overseas instead of selling out overseas l-i-k-e budweiser
