probably more about resources and funding
ducati might have stretched themselves thin and the Diavel is a big money risk

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"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.

Nooo.
If AMG/Mercedes buys Ducati then the bikes will be more expensive than their Japanese counterparts and the maintenance costs will be really high.
uh... wait a second...

And maybe they'll take a cue from Nissan and install a center console that was inspired by a motorcycle.  |

I rode an AMF-Harley for ten years (well... rode it for 3, fixed it for 7) and this is one consonant too close for comfort to me.
