Bologna, no Bosnia, haha, my bad, now i really sound like an ignorant American with zero geography knowledge.

Anyway, my Dainese is from Ukraine and Kushitani is from China. Harley made in the USA with KYB forks from Taiwan. I am not saying people from other countries can't produce quality good, but what they lack is the pride and culture of the people working in the original factory that made the brand famous in the first place.

Did you know all the Ferrari seat leathers are still cut and stitched in house?

Well, none of us will really know until we either take a closer look at the final product and/or inspect the new factory.

Brazil is just assembly or putting the parts togather.
parts and engine are likely still from ducati HQ......

don't we have recalls for the state of the art 1199 till today,and they are from...?

Ducati is still a profit organisation and need to find ways to stay competitive...is just business..passion...comes after that...

they are in business of selling the illusion of passion, and very innovative machinery, woohoo

Well Sao Paolo has one of the largest Italian populations outside of Italy so technically it's still Italian made!!
