I saw we have two new ‘25 'S' VIN#’s posted on the V85TT Registry, instead of 'M's (Mandello) which is the letter before the last six numbers, being the place of manufacture. So I went digging as I didn't recall them announcing a production move. Anyone catch this major change anywhere online?
I had never looked at where Aprilia’s are assembled in Scorze’, IT Noale (closest big town outside of Venice). It looks like no-mans-land. Temporary or? Times are a changing.

UPDATE 9.6: OK, I got official word that only the ‘25 MY on all of the V85TT will be in Scorze’. At the end of the run, there will be a break for a couple of months, then production will resume in Mandello again with three brand new assembly lines instead of the old two.

I remember reading a while back that due to Mandello being at max capacity some V85TT production was being moved to the Aprilia factory. I'm sure once the Mandello factory upgrades are complete they will have plenty of capacity then?

Mmmmm, first time ever a Moto Guzzi has been built somewhere other than Mandello del Lario?

I would have to pull out my MG history book but I think some Guzzis were built at the Innocenti? factory in the 70s/80s? Possibly the small blocks?

Do you recall where you saw/read this?
