Lol @ Ducati owners!

Harley brand even if big is a slowly dying breed as years go by as customer base shrinking with age and more sensible choice making over "advertised macho manly man skull badass 1% life styling" . The next "generation X " branding / "elite exclusive costly vibe" bike but with some actual good stuff to back it up is Ducati,which they want to get. Win (survival) for Harley lose for Ducati. If they keep it clean and not mess it up like previous aquisitions. This might be an actual  win for riders too as long as ducati remains Ducati, with HD dealer network plus bringing in performance and an already growing established base.

Surprised Volkswagen is looking at selling Ducati so quickly... its only been 3-5 years since they acquired Ducati and they have dumped a bunch of cash into racing and new models. The investment appears to have paid off with regard to racing and brand growth. Maybe this is the result of VG's emissions scandal and they need the cash?

HD would ruin them just as they did MV Augusta and Buell.

I would hope that Hardly learned their lesson with the MV Augusta acquisition.

You mean the MV Agusta acquisition didn't work out so well? Could be the worst motorcycle industry deal ever, here is the link.

Say good bye to Desmo. Welcome pushrods and hydraulic lifters. Say hello to the new Multi-Glyde or the revolutionary Fat-Panni. I suppose the new dealerships will have a barnyard theme since they will be selling Ducs and Hogs.

Looks like there will be many people putting rum in their starbucks... 

Female Duc owners will need to get some breast work.  Like reverse implants so their boobs are floppy and saggy.

You know, I wasn't all that upset about this potential acquisition until this.
