Hopefully this will put to rest the "HD to buy Ducati" rumors.
I wonder what this means for Buell?  Maybe HD will continue to brand the "old tech" a-c twins as Buells and the MV name will be used for superbikes and competition.  The 1125R and any "new tech" Buells that may have been on the horizon may be the odd bikes out in this equation.
