They said Italy couldn't build a motorcycle to beat the British. They were wrong.

For over one hundred years, one brand has defied wars, bankruptcies, and the march of technology. One factory on the shores of Lake Como has refused to close. One engine—the legendary longitudinal 90-degree V-twin—has kept pulsing when everyone said it would die.
