Default Parts content/country of origin

The Buell board is having a heated discussion over the fact that a high amount of parts like Austrian engines,Chinese wheels,Italian frames.

The question goes to,is a Buell an American bike for using foreign engines etc.

If Ducati sourced their engines from Taiwan or Austria,or wheels from China,would they still be desirable?

Would we laud them for being cost consious? Or criticise them for selling out?
