At the time of acquisation, Aprilia owns Moto-Guzzi. So in one fell swoop Piaggio acquired 2 Italian motorcycle marques.

We just met Ducati in the last post and also Moto Guzzi. You must have also heard of Aprilia, Cagiva, Paiggio and Vespa.

I not sure about other part of the world, from where I came from the typical stereotype of different motorcycle makers are as follows.

The Italian bikes are known for their heart stopping design and pricy price. Japanese bikes for their cost and fuel efficiency. BMW for technology and Harley for the bad boy, rebel image.

Will take a look at them soon.

Take a look at Wheels of Italy
