Harley & MV Augusta part company--Buell ends production

I have searched, manufacturers, under Buell, Harley and Other, but no notice can I find. Has this been discussed? Does anybody care?
In my latest Inside Motorcycles --November, 2009, p. 14 has an article on page 14, Buell ceases production, which then goes on to report that Harley plans to divest itself of the MV Agusta acquisition, and is looking for a buyer. Apparently their plans to expand into Europe are being put on hold for moment.
Unfortunately the web site does not have the current issue up.
http://www.insidemotorcycles.com/
I had thought that Buell represented a different direction for Harley, as did the MV Agusta merger...
What gives?

Well, the part about Harley divesting itself of M/v Augusta was news to me. I knew it was rumored .....

Not aware it's happened yet, only that they wished to sell MV. Maybe the Castiglione's will buy it back at a discount?

It is not sold yet. I don't believe I said it was, only that Harley is definitely looking for a buyer.

Not only has this been discussed, but it also results in forum drama because I moved some of the threads to the Buell forum...as if no one would EVER find them there or sumpin'.
