They know they can’t make an impact on the established marques on their own so putting the money and manufacturing might behind a brand like Benelli is a way in against the big hitters. I remember back when I was a service advisor in our local Harley dealer when the accessories came in to fit they were stamped “made in Taiwan” so nothing new here.

As you say, nothing new about Harley outsourcing...even in the 1970s much of the tinware came from Taiwan, the electrics from Italy, and the suspension and carbs from Japan.
