Is MV Agusta financially stable?
I do like that Guzzi has a parent company, even if they do screw things up occasionally.

An older gent here in OKC owned a red & silver F4 (like the photo).  I've known him for 10 years and he loved it but it was a little cramped as he got older- he's into his 70s.

Ran into another guy with a Brutale and had it up for a good price.  Talked to a third fellow in Dallas on an F4.  No one that I've talked to that owned one (at least three owners) has said a bad word except fast and beautiful.  I'd get one if I could find a deal.

MV/Cagiva has had a lot of parent companies: Proton, Harley (twice), Mercedes  :wink:  At the moment Russian investor money is flowing in and to the best of my knowledge few to none of the Castiglionis are serving time for tax evasion. Life is good  :grin:

(No, the company and owners have gone from one financial and legal crisis to another for decades, but the motorcycle factory keeps surviving)

Some background here, not completely up to date but it gives you the idea...
