I don't get how that's supposed to be a direct competitor for HD... It's not a cruiser I would expect it to be aimed at the B-King and the Tuono...

Maybe they were thinking of the V-Max instead of the V-Rod?

Fuck Yeah! I don't care if it was pink with purple polka-dots. That's got to be stupid powerful.

Looks ok, but I think the target markets don't intersect very much........you're talking about the 2 brands with the strongest owner loyalty

That is true. But with HD aquiring MV Agusta which I guess you could consider a Ducati competitor that maybe Ducati is going on the attack now instead of later. Or go on the attack before the HD bankroll puts MV Agusta more mainstream.
