Do MVs usually sell for more than MSRP, MSRP, or less than MSRP?
I honestly don't know.
If they sell at or just below MSRP, then I'd say MV has found the pricing equilibrium. If that's the case, producing more bikes priced the same won't sell more bikes. They might sell a FEW more simply because there is an extra bike or two on the floor at any given time and might catch a buyer who would otherwise not buy.
More bikes produced WOULD reduce the rarity of the bike. I agree completely. The question is whether rarity is profitable. If they can double the production of a niche bike, but still have small enough numbers, they might be able to have their cake and eat it too.
I'd say that MV would love to have both long term, high quality assemblers as well as any upgrades or modernization of the factory that would help them to produce the same or higher quality bikes more efficiently. Again, they can have their cake and eat it too.
