Moto Morini gets new owners :)

[Flamedance]

The google translation didn't work very well:

Moto Morini with new owner surprise at the date of the second auction of Moto Morini: the Italian manufacturer for over a year in bankruptcy, has found a new owner. This is the company Eagle bike, which won the contract to €1,960 million as the only bidder. This Eagle bike acquired the motorcycle and scooter production of Morini acquired, but not the premises. Only in the afternoon before the auction, the newly founded company had submitted a bid for Moto Morini. The two Milan entrepreneurs Sandro Capotosti and Ruggeromassimo Jannuzzelli are behind Eagle bike. Capotosti is the former President of the Milan Investementbank Banca profilo, Jannuzzelli was up before recently Managing Director of the publishing house Camuzzi. What the two are exactly going is not yet known; but it seems certain that they want to be again bound for the motor-cycle production of Moto Morini. However, the Court must pass them first of all necessary information, and as the holiday season is coming up in Italy, is to be expected in September only concrete statements about the future of Moto Morini.

But this gives me a very big happy.

I can't help to be a bit skeptical about this. Although the fact that one of them is a former investment banker gives me a bit of hope that they will focus on remaking the brand and making sure it can be economically sustainable and not letting "passion" get in the way.

they always sold well, but for the amount they could produce and the big model range was always gonna stretch there resources. should be alright if they can weather the coming euro financial dramas.

I've got a definite soft spot for those hooligan bikes, so this is great news.
