Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I trust HD with Ducati more than RE. HD know the kudos associated with a prestige marque. Buell was too close to what they sell but Ducati is the Ferrari to their Cadillac.
I hope Im not wrong.

It's all about numbers. If Harley is really a buyer for the Ducati brand, it would be in their best interest to let things be. If they try to mix Duc and Hawg...it'll taste shitty.
If they leave the marques separate, it might work. They've both gone in the 'boutique' direction. Let Ducati do what they do...they're profitable right now.
All about the money.

Yeah I hope so. They could compliment each other for sure as boutique brands. HD have great experience in keeping big bore air cooled models in the range despite EPA regulations. I better write to them to ensure they bring back the 1100 motor.

I gotta hand it to HD for their ability to keep air cooled big twins in the line up in these times.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
