Late last year, MV Agusta was acquired by KTM. The Austrian manufacturer already had a sizable stake in the company, and purchased a controlling interest so it could bring it under the same roof as KTM, GasGas, and Husqvarna.
Then the company imploded a month later.
Flash-forward to just nine months after KTM purchased the controlling stake, and MV Agusta was resold back to its original owners. It was no short of a whirlwind year for the Italian brand. Things, however, have been quiet since its sale. That is until now, as the brand stated that it'd be leaving its famous Centro Ricerche Castiglioni design center, named after the family who rebirthed the company, in favor of pulling those services in-house to its Varese-based manufacturing facility.
