The history of the place is fantastic...................But I fancy doing a bit of factory visits like Riva, Ferrari, Moto Guzzi as well

They say that the fermented grape juice aint bad ether 

Ferrari tours are only open to Ferrari owners, but Lamborghini is open to the public and Ducati is in that area too.

I went to the 40th anniversary meet for the Z1 at Edersee last year.
The Eder dam is well worth a visit, and has cafes and stuff up there,and in the village of Eder is a small museum just for the raid. It surprised me with it's total neutrality over the attack, featuring both sides with equal dignity. From the village it is a short walk, about 20 minutes, up to the dam itself, which still bears the scars of the attack and the subsequent repair.
Museum location Here

There is a small bikers cafe which had some portacabin type bunk house accomodation [ not sure how private these were, as I camped], although there were hotels and B&B in the village. http://zuendstoff-edersee.de/
