Post by MattGreaves »

If reports are true then it looks like Ducati will soon come under the Audi umbrella which will be an exciting time for Ducati :)

All Wheel Drive sports bikes 8-}

Lets face it, with a company that brought us the Veyron and also seem to have turned the fortunes of Lamborghini let alone their indiginous products, they certainly seem to know a thing or two about performance vehicles ....... a much better owner than a bunch of faceless investment bankers I'd have thought :-?
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Could be interesting with existing tie ups - AMG Mercedes sponsoring the MotoGP team, Audi supplying engines for the KTM X-Bow.
