Saw this a few days ago.

It's good if HD leaves it alone.
It's bad if HD trys to do anything with it.

IMO the new buells are nice, even more so now that they have a legit motor in them. That gives me hope that HD wont go screwing it up.

Ugh... I hope we don't start seeing undertail quad-exhaust buells.

That's disgusting, MV obviously has zero respect for themselves, a very good business move for them both due to sales, but c'mon, I've been riding for over 15 years and still to this second do not see what the phalk is so amazing about a 1930's technology piece of shyt harley that wouldn't make it 50,000 miles if it were towed across the country 20 times, without even mentioning it costs 10 times too much

If it makes you feel any better, Harley was trying to work a deal with Ducati... thankfully I think that fell through.

Wow. Not cool.

Ducati jeffie? That would have been horrid. How to ruin a bike in 10 days.
