When the share price drops to peanuts, Daimler Benz will pick up the 75% which they don't already own for next to nothing. That's my guess, anyway.
Its a process but not a death knell; MV won't be allowed to go under as a concern. MV are the only Italian manufacturer who are producing exciting products IMO.
Yep, Merc will pick up the rest, but in doing so you will see a big change in the way they go about things which I think will help. For example, stop releasing 'specials' every 5 mins! Stick to well established product lines and get the dealer back up sorted. I love the MV's, I actually like every bike they make, but I didn't buy one because I would hate to spend £12k and a week later they are releasing a special and destroying their own resale
