I could never figure our why HD bought MV in the first place. In the past they rebranded Ducatis but this move was a surprise.
They don't even make noise

They bought it to obtain a line of dealerships in Europe. That way they could flood Europe with their bikes without having to build lots of buildings. HD's finance started bleeding cash and they had to sell to offset losses.

Sandy,
That makes sense given that HD already had the Buells at the time. Not surprised to see HD drop the other non-cruisers.
