That's too bad. I hope someone picks up Buell and runs with it; it could be, in the long run, that severing ties to H-D will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to them. Assuming they can find a buyer.

MV Agusta has long been a vastly overpriced joke. That level of fit, finish, performance, and engineering can be had for a fraction of the cost from any number of other brands. I was rather surprised to see H-D buy it in the first place.

They sure dropped them like a hot potato, didn't they? Probably once they got a really good look inside the company, its management, its books, its facilities, they saw what a hopeless mess they had purchased.
