Charlie,
I don't think Aprilla is totally abandoning Loops just refocusing Guzzi to
be more profitable and future oriented. I think Aprilla will cooperatively
work with anyone who wants to pick up their millions of pieces of Guzzi

business they produced some memorable bikes, but nothing on the order of the
fabulous 500 V-8! Of course, I am extremely biased! :-) Cheers,
