MV provided a performance "halo" for Harley. They still owned Buell at the time. Could have transferred technology related to: Radial heads, Italian styling (Willie just announced retirement), Multiple World Championship pedigree, Magneti-Marelli engine management upgrades. Could also mean they need help to get to where BMW went with it's Boxer motor, water-cooling due to strict EURO regs.
