Yeah Rotax is/was making the motors for Aprillia,besides,like every other company,parts come in from various vendors and are put together at the Aprillia factory too. Why are you all so resistive to this concept? HD,GM,Aprillia, Suzuki,Honda,Boeing,etc don't manufacture much of anything,they design a product(some companies don't even do that),source the parts,and assemble the finished product. Heck,when I worked at Keeler I spent entire shifts assembling headlights for Neons from parts we outsourced and made on site. I bet at least four different companies were involved with making components just for that headlight. I'd wager that at least 30 companies are involved with manufacture of a motorcycle.
