    Based on the pictures I would call that "an Italian Art Museum" not a motorcycle factory. I've never seen a 'factory' so clean.

    Anyone read Italian?

    It's my understanding it wasn't always this way. When BMW took over, the facility that was being used was an absolute dump -you wouldn't have wanted a bike from there...

    Moto's to be Produced Today?
    Moto's Produced Today?

    With Google language and using my own spin I came up with this.


    I thought the little arrows where some kind of QC markers, but it looks like there on a display model.

    The sign below says "assembly line # 2. assuming theres at least 2 lines also. Working 200 days a year (yes I took out all of August!) and 2 lines making 81 a day is 32,400 bikes. way more than they ever made and close to the fore mentioned ability to make 40k units a year if they had too.

    I toured the factory right at the BMW takeover and it looked much like it does today! I did not see the motor assembly because it was at the other facility, but the production line and final assembly area looked like they do today.

    Do you remember Roberto Benigni’s Oscar winning moment for the Life is beautiful movie?

    Thank ayou, thank ayou…….you are all abeautiful, I want to kiss all of ayou…..I want to make alove to each and everyone of ayou……..



    No?
    Maybe it’s just me? :excuseme:

    It may be the same building etc, but the production line (the factory as a whole in-fact) has undergone some major improvements to productivity.
    BMW's influence has brought 'attention to detail' in terms of how the line runs, the efficiency of the line and the importance of keeping cost down without cutting corners.
    If the unbelievers saw it work they would never have any questions about buying a red and white bike.
