About every 5 years this rumor pops up..  VW, Piaggio, Guzzi, etc..

"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...
