Where do all these scooters come from? A closer look at OEMs

Where do all these scooters come from? A closer look at OEMs mainly the Italian brand names and the state of Italian scooter manufacturing in 2008.
From Piaggio Group owners of Aprilia, Vespa, Derbi to Malaguti (now working with CF Moto) and brands being revived by Asian owners such as Benelli, Italjet Moto, and more...
How does MRP fit in all this? How do we feel about sourcing from different lands? Hopefully some of these questions will be answered for the scooter media, dealers, and consumers who like to take a closer look at the Powersports Scooter Industry.

Very well done video, interesting, informative and inspirtional to the extent that it gives assurance that some manufacturers/marketers do make sensible business choices.

@Gopaw Thank you Sir. We try to be as open as we can given how much competition is out there and how we try to pride ourselves in our wholesale setup, but we do like knowing riders find this info interesting.

I need to make a follow up video to this one since more has shifted to Malaysia and Vietnam since Chinas costs are rising.

Thanks guys, honestly thats what we are here for to give you the real deal.

Ok, so why is a scooter that is made in Vietnam (Vespa gt 200)costing me so much?

6400 out the dealers door (I live in Phila. Pa.). Vespa pays these people nothing.

Pure profit. I cant see paying that much!

Sorry Vespa.
