Right. Thats why they shut down the K12 production to clear out the backlog, stopped importing the R12ST, R12S, F800S & some of the singles. They were all just selling too well.

Its bad enough that they are sourcing engines out of China, I don't want to see BMW start selling Jap sport bike clones. MV can build unique looking inline 4's & so can BMW.
