The current ownership has quietly been looking for a buyer for the last year or so.  The latest inside rumors I've heard involve talks with Mercedes Benz, fwiw.
Never appeal to a man's "better nature."  He may not have one.  Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.  R.A. Heinlein

I asked Joe, the owner of SuperMoto Italia here on Long Island, about the potential sale and he said that Mercedes is interested in buying some of the company. Not a complete takeover, more like a cash infusion.
Nobody said that I did. Everyone says that I would.

I heard Audi will make a decision by April 18 and they are likely to be the new owner.
This is what your Ducati might look like if owned by Germans:



;D ;D ;D ;D

Copy. Calibration error = humidity, altitude, attitude to tutu, distraction from tutu, stereotype naked rat bikes, human error due to heat, tutu and jealousy!
