  1. We will know shortly, though i'm hoping it's neither as i think under German ownership it's changed for the better.
    May find some venture capitalists invest and leave it to runs as it is today?

  2. weirdly I think that the article posted suggesting losses, and market share shrinkage by Harley make the purchase more likely not less, as they look to just buy into a new segment to balance the overall product portfolio and can then streamline dealerships etc. Also in my experience, once names are being talked about the deal is normally already done.

  12. They are trying to get a consortium together to regain Italian ownership, they can't afford it :)

  15. This could run and run.....................

    Interesting to note that VAG's unions oppose the move.

  20. The sale still has to get the blessing of the unions and they are dead set against the sale. This could be a long drawn out afair.
    Perhaps the thread should be titled will Ducati be for sale? :)
