I have always thought they have been weak on proper engineering - all the prototyping and design work seemed to have been done in some blacksmiths shed. Anything technical appeared to be subcontracted to MIRA. I knew a bearing sales guy for many years and he told me that MMC had asked them to propose some improved hub bearings, so he asked them to send some engineering drawings and he would see what they could recommend. "Drawings?" came the reply, "we don't have drawings."
Now of course they have a design office with CAD; I hope there are some engineers in there, not just stylists.
