beautiful bikes. with an awesome list of performance parts right out of the box. someday i want a track bike to play with on weekends. but i would never spend 15k on one. damn, thats almost the cost of a new 2010 harley. *hey honey* its all about leverage, boys.

 

They look like Monsters at Harley price points.

 

"Twist the Throttle" did a special on MV Augusta a few month ago. These are pretty special bikes and the guys that build them take a lot of pride in their product. All hand built. Somewhat cult like. They have been around forever...a great racing history...they closed shop for a period and the dude that brought them back got the famous Italian designer from Ducati to head up operations. He is like the Godfather of Italian crotchrockets. Forget his name. He designed the Brutale from ground up. The exhaust sound is really unique. Sound familiar??? Not my style but if Harley wants to diversify it is a top notch rocket by all means. Gotta have pretty deep pockets for one of these toys.

 

i know im in the minority but i really like it!!

 

They are interesting bikes, not my thing but pretty cool none the less. I do have a question, why created two similar bikes on a similar chassis and only have a 100cc difference in displacement? I do not get that at all from a business perspective but I could be missing something.

 

That's a bit of a stretch.

 

I hope and pray that they're not sold and serviced by the existing HD dealership network since they can barely handle a 106 year-old engine design.

(But seriously, the Harley dealer in Missoula is also a Ducati dealer. They actually have a pretty good service shop that serves all bikes that they sell.)

 

I was there when looking at Monsters. In all seriousness, do the same techs work on both? It looked like they had two service departments in the same building.

 

I do.Fast by Ferracci.World famous race team.Their shop is one mile from my parents house.I used to stop in there all the time when I rode rockets.
