Where are V85's built?

[SteveCorner]

I know some V85’s were built by Aprillia, are they still building them?

It won’t effect my buying decision, im just curious. Aprillia might even grease steering head bearings when they fit them!

There was a recent lengthy discussion about this very subject.

Feel a bit Robbed

Now I am late to this party I know, I have just realised that my V85tt was not built in Mandello, feel a bit cheated I must say. Don’t much feel like getting my photo with bike at the red gates rather like a Liverpool fan getting a Photo at Old Trafford, makes no sense. Any opinions welcome

For the love of god don’t start that conversation again!

If the “M” in the vin is replaced by an “S” they are being built/assembled at Aprilia’s HQ: Scorzè in Veneto.

This was planned to occur whilst the Mandello site was updated/knocked down and rebuilt
If Pete Roper is right keeping manufacturing in the old Mandello works without renovation would have killed MG for ever.

Sorry. Ill never mention it again!
