Yes, Yes , Yes ,

The big wheel tells the guy about what big plans he has ( investors like this )

Next he tells the guy about how he & piaggio are listening to customers & great things are just right around the corner.

 

It's all gonna be Okay

Thats a real positive article Piaggio seems to be optomistic and yet realistic. They know things wont happen overnight but they have long term goals For both Aprilia and MG Makes me wanting a New Tuono or a Griso more interesting if they're going to stick around and make a show of'em selves.

Some interesting dates in there. I was told last week that the Norge ("the new, fully-faired tourer" is what the salesman said) will be in UK showrooms in February next year. That ties in with the dates given in the interview for US arrival, given the delays we have seen this year.

 

At 5/600 units per annum for the whole range, Piaggio will not be wanting to rack up costs getting it there faster.
