'Audi Buys Ducati Motorcycles'

That's quite shocking, actually.
Are there any surviving Italian independents, other than the Mafia?
 
Not that surprising; Ducati has huge debts and Audi wants to compete with BMW. Alfa Romeo might be next on the VAG purchase list..

I always said the only bike I would want if I would get a licence would be a Ducati, which is exactly why I never got my licence.. :icon_lol:
 
Good thing I own the only Ducatis I ever wanted.
I suppose we should be thankful, at least Ducati might survive to be run by a more conservative management group.
Hopefully VAG realise that diluting the product line would kill the Marque stone dead.
:kilroy:

In fairness to Audi, Lamborghini has never been better, since they took over.
Italian design flair and German production engineering, perhaps a winning combination.
