I had a Tuono - it was the best street bike I ever owned...

...until I upgraded from an Austrian engine to a complete Austrian bike.

Love that Super Duke.

With Ducati American owned, Mv Agusta American owned, Bennnili and Vespa Chinese owned and Aprilla Austrian powered is there a proper Italian bike left?

Aprilia's not Austrian-powered anymore! I'm pretty sure they're 100% eye-talian now.
