Jürgen, thats an awesome performance. Also very good & up to the point write-up. Perfect, thank you!!

Just had my call today. „As he said“ (JotJotDe) , plus:
- PCUs will probably be available end Jan/beg Feb
- Rob has understood that regular communication is key to regain trust with customers - a new video is being prepared
- asked for the lessons learned from the old structure, he mentioned (I) Management decisions, (II) BOM/bill-of-material cost (so all purchased parts, (III) production cost. Prio 1 is to tackle III by moving production to Indonesia and homologate that. New bikes to be expected Q2/Q3 2026. Then tackle II by sourcing some components in Asia.
- whole homologation is expensive, he feels EU is overregulating things. More simple in Asia
- target markets are EU, potential growth expected APAC / specifically in Australia
- biggest growth potential segment he sees in Adventure Bikes like Experia

EDIT: Forgot one thing - the new legal company will not honor the old 5 yr warranty sold since 2022. But they will respond favorably for goodwill requests.

They have been a couple of finished Experias (as well as other models) in the inventory when the company was sold. That was visible in the inventory list from the auctioneer.
I guess those are the bikes that are going on display right now.

I wonder what role Italy is still going to play since they are moving the machinery to, wherever.  Is it just admin and engineering or some design and manufacturing, maybe prototyping or something.

What makes you believe they are moving at all - besides obviously moving to another building? They said engineering and operations will remain in Italy.
But I will ask about future locations specifically…

I there wouldn’t be a new investor and attempts to reopen, this might be/might have been worth a shot for rebuilding crashed fairings and design other stuff. However, one cannot be sure about the accuracy.

I guess this is an activity to secure the budget year 2026.
Fix and variable cost are anyway much much higher than the margin made with the bikes.
Just take average cost of staff times the staff count. Say, 100.000p.a. X 182 (reported staff in 2024)
=> 18,2mio. cost ONLY on staff. No building rent, energy, tools&equipment amortization
Average bike price is…?… say 15.000. Times #bikes sold (Reportes 620 for 2024) times 30% margin (blind guess)
=> 2,8mio earings before tax

So why not even lower the earnings but ass the same polish up the sales volume? Business is anyway depending on investors… and they like volume…

You know that a standard nut has a bit of free play on the bolt when it is not fastened. Better is to counter-fix to nuts against each other on a bolt, then insert that bolt and check again. It might give a total different impression. But anyway this method is not very reliable and professional. Best is to get it 3D measured. Any lab could also check the if all landing surfaces are on an identical plane. But this will cost quite some money and the result might drive you crazy . I would trust that when those surfaces have been created the method is fail proof - which I believe it is at Marchesini (manufacturer of our rims).
