Harley's MV Agusta Unveils New Models
#31
But their Ducati business is pretty small, relative to their Harley business. So I imagine that some of their techs, if not most, are competent in both.
But if Agustas start showing up in select HD dealers, I'd be *real* wary of where I took it for servicing.

"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.

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.

Harley we talk talk noise and chrome from Bub or Vance Hines. These talk about carbon fiber and titanium exhaust. You can even add titanium axle bolts and adjusters. True craftman quality.
