Harley Davidson after facing third quarter profit drops, announced back in October, that they were killing off the production of Buell motorcycles and were going divest itself of the MV Agusta Group that they bought in 2008 for $109 million and many wondered what would happen to one of Italy’s most historic marques, especially in a down trodden economic market.

According to the well informed motociclismo.it HD may have found someone to buy out their stake in the MV Agusta and one of the companies could be BMW, who so far has neither confirmed or denied their interest and the second could be a consortium of Italian entrepreneurs led by Mario Moretti Polegato, founder and president of the Geox Group, who is best know in the footwear and apparel market.

The announcement of the sale of MV Agusta could come as early as the end of March.

When they say that daredevils and stunt riders have balls of steel, this isn’t always true, at least anatomically.

Check out this video of Crusty Demon legend Seth Enslow who made history by setting a new world record for a longest distance jump on a Harley Davidson XR 1200.

Enslow performed the jump at Barangaroo, located at the Sydney Harbor and broke the exsisting record by 18 feet (5,4m) jumping 183.7 feet (56m) but had to make the same jump twice after most of the media turned up late and in the second jump cracked his gas tank and not only that.

You’ve all seen in Youtube or in live shows, two or more riders spinning in perfect synchronization inside the steel grids of the Globe of Death and usually they use light weight modified bikes, but this is the first time according Quick-Fix Harley Mildura Australia that it has been done by a rider on a Harley Davidson Sportster.

Quick Fix Harley Davidson Mildura are the same guys who prepared Kain Saul’s Harley Davidson XR1200 Sportster for the first ever backflip on a HD.

No one really associates Harley Davidson as a true stunt bike, but in this case we have two different riders on two different continents backflipping a Harley XR-1200.

Australasian Freestyle Motocross Champion Kain Saul did one in Australia and pro motocross rider Chuck Carothers did another in Prague during the Gladiator Games. Both completed the stunts on 580lbs (263kg) Harley XR1200’s, but apparently there’s some controversy regarding who can claim the record, because Saul’s Harley was modified by Quick-Fix Harley Davidson dealer principal Gavin Walker, while Carothers did it on a stock XR-1200 with only a stiffened up suspension, but fell off after landing.

Carothers backflip after the jump.

Steve Hopkins made this 24 long custom-built Harley motorcycle with seven engines, some of which date back 100 years and is riding the 900 miles from Wisconsin to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.

Last year Hopkins built a five-seat, four-engine bike that he rode in Harley Davidson’s 105th anniversary parade in Milwaukee.

We like the idea of the “rolling history” of Harley engines, but have to admit that the Anaconda was sleeker looking or maybe it was just all those girls that were riding pillion gave that idea.

Check the Anaconda out after the jump and decide which you prefer.
