I'm not 100% positive on this but my literature mentions Vespa of American for the 1984 models, with that reference disappearing for the 1985 lineup. While Bianchi USA is not specifically mentioned in 1985, it would seem to infer that the agreement transfering the distribution rights took place sometime during 1984, probably becoming effective in late 1984, for the introduction of the 1985 models.
