Quickie : MV Augusta

Thanks to Tun Dr. M, I found this link:

Harley-Davidson drives to snap up MV Augusta

MV Agusta, Italy’s legendary motorcycle maker that dominated international racing from the late Fifties to the mid-Seventies, has been bought by the Harley-Davidson group.

The deal, announced yesterday, gives the Americans total ownership of the company for only €70 million (£56 million), including debts of about €45 million.

Guess the current Government gonna have a field day answering to why they sold MV Augusta for 1Euro…

“MV is synonymous with very beautiful Italian motorcycles of superior quality. The acquisition of MV Agusta will enable us to strengthen the position of Harley-Davidson as a global leader that aims to turn its clients’ dreams into reality by offering them an extraordinary experience.”

    Some of the most interesting, groundbreaking, or just plain weird motorcycles that have been built over the past 100 years.
