This is all speculation, but I found it interesting.  Cagiva may use the Rotax-built Helicon 1125 powerplant Buell uses for a new Superbike and a new Elefant.  Read more here:

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Harley-Davidson has taken over the MV Agusta and Cagiva brands.  This is why there is speculation the Rotax-built 1125 engine which Buell uses will be used in the new Cagiva bikes.

Tizz is correct.

They restructured things so that MV was the parent company of Cagiva, then Harley bought MV.

Ergo, HD owns Cagiva.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...
