I have black wheels on my V85 and I hate them, they show everything and it's impossible to keep them black.

If you hit the pause button a few dozen times, you can almost tell what they are doing.  :huh:

Whenever I watch these types of videos, when i focus on the the manufacturing support tooling needed, I am amazed that anything can be produced at an affordable price.

The miracle of mass production!!

I was thinking the same thing - it's amazing that motorcycles cost as little as they do, considering what is required to design and build them, and the relatively low sales volume, especially for an outfit like MG.

I see why they do factory tours.  Watching this made me want to buy one even more.

I assume this video was taken after the factory was modernized. Very impressive.

Low labor cost plays a role - the people who build the bikes at Guzzi are paid low wages except in comparison to Asia (roughly $30K per year gross at current exchange rates) and also there is indirect support from the Government, for example in relation to limiting the cost to rent the factory.  I’m unsure of the current status but IIRC some years back the factory was sold to investors and leased back.  Then when government says the only legal use for the factory land is to make motorcycles, it holds down the rental value.
