Nice!

I'm glad to see Ducati thriving in this economy.  Now if they would just fix the Streetfighter 1198 I might buy another new Ducati.

That's pretty amazing, I am sure Audi is pleased

What do you mean by fix?

The over 500cc market is down 4% year-to-date

That stands out like a sore thumb… Are Ducati currently making any sub 500cc bikes? Or is this particular figure "industry wide"? Or are all the other numbers cherry-picked to say "sales are up (but without mentioning that's only if you just compare May '11 and '12)", when the truth is sales are down 4%?
