Title: Benz and Ducati?
Post by: muskrat on February 15, 2011, 05:19:17 PM
I was intrigued by the AMG/Ducati partnership but now see nothing.  Updates?  I have both and, like I need more Duc shit, would like to see what their plan is - my two favorite brands.

there are going to be a few ducatis as show pieces at a local mb dealership so i hear from my last visit down to AMS, but that's a local partnership in tribute to the race sponsorship

well that sucks.  I was just in the Benz dealer tonight and they know nothing other than a "partnership."  So much for dreaming about an AMG style Monster.  :-[

Mercedez/Duc version of the Harley/Ford collab? [puke]

Mercedez/Duc version of the Harley/Ford collab? 

EXCEPT it'd be in the form of one of those Benz Sprinters decked out as a trackday hauler which I think would be cooler than that SEMA Toyota 'Sedici hauler from a couple years back which is still ultimately smarter than Ford slapping a Harley nameplate on a truck that you can't even put a bike in the back of....

I agree that Ford/Harley has done a terrible job but that Toyota did look sweet.  Too bad you couldn't use the truck bed for shit.

The Toyota was headed in the right direction for usefulness. Things I'd be looking for in a track-truck:

sides of the truck that were useful for storage.

a low bed height for easy bike loading.

front chock(s)

tie down points

integrated ramp

mount posts for ez up

snacks

and the  [drink]?
I liked the idea but for the price they said it would cost it should have had a self-loading ramp, the playboy channel and recliners with cup holders.
