They still have to design their own products.

You know, this right here shows you don't know much about the current crop of Guzzis.
All design is going on at Pontedera, the Piaggio facility. Piaggio has removed all R&D from Mandello del Lario, though production remains there.
Guzzi is a wholly-owned "brand" of Piaggio. It's not been a stand-alone company for several years, now.
