I hope they rethink that branding.
Cagiva (were owned by H-D for a while) bikes had one of the worst names if any Italian makes for reliability, and that's saying something.
I still recall with trepidation the sound of the Freccia (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagiva_Freccia), a 2-stroke 125cc 7-speed bike with Ducali Paso-like bodywork that redlined officially at 14K RPM, but would regularly blow the engine up around 12K.
