AFY Mobility was recently reported in paultan.org to be involved in project with Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) to produce a Malaysian motorcycle brand and making Malaysia a global motorcycle assembly hub. MV Agusta was last represented in Malaysia by DNC Asiatic, a collaboration that lasted less than two years before the firm shut down its operations and told staff to resign in May 2018.

The Varese, Italy firm with its chequered financial history was also represented by Mofaz Motosikal and Chear Motor in 2016 before the switch to DNC Asiatic. The MV Agusta brand has a long history with Malaysia, previously being owned by Proton Holdings and purchased at a price of RM500 million in 2003, before being controversially sold for RM4 to Gevi SpA in 2006.

      inb4 Harley Davidson failed to turn MVA around, and even richer AMG Merc failed to turn MVA around, each in turn selling the company at higher losses.

    Build quality in Malaysia is awful. Another step on the already mediocre MV reliability.
