Harley bought 'em, maybe something good will happen

Don't care for the GS concept, but that sporty is sure pretty

And the more triples around, the better! (read the article)

LOL, you don't have a choice with that bike.

something that the lead mechanic always told me about rotax, he couldn't understand how they stayed in business when everyone that uses their motors ends up going out of business. I've not had personal experience with the motors.

Not really, I could love the 1125, but hate the motor. but I don't.

It could get a bit better mileage, but it's a big bore V-twin. not many get great mileage, especially with an aggressive right hand.

As for them all going out of business, BRP/Ski Doo/Sea Doo seems to be doing well.

one doing ok isn't doing ok. sun shines on a dogs ass once in a while. if you can't tell, I don't like BPR either.

The Schiranna - presumably named for the hometown of MV Agusta's engine plant - is a much sportier prospect. It's pure superbike, from the radial-mount Brembo brake calipers to the giant swingarm. Expect this bike (if it exists) to have a highly tuned Rotax V-Twin and be aimed squarely at Ducati's competition-crushing 1098R; since MV Agusta will be building high-performance triples and fours, it makes sense to use Cagiva to tackle the V-Twin superbike market.

Of course, it'll be a $15k+ bike, but still sounds sexy as hell.
