I am about to buy one and am curious if I should rush out to get it now or wait till Audi buys them?

Or does it not matter?

Thanks!

Shit!! I paid a ton of money for this feature, and now it will come standard?

I hope audi purchasing Ducati does make a change in the company, not with the bikes but the tanks. I just purchased a RC8R instead of a Ducati just cause of the tank issue.

Hate to break it to you, but you'll experience the same issues with the KTM, as their tanks are also made my Acerbis.

the only thing it would affect would be the parts supply chain and the new buying power applied to certain things like electronics componentry and possible cost reductions...it shouldn't affect anything else really...

my Cagiva has an Acerbis dual tank set-up that has not the issues that the newer bikes seem to have...but part of that comes down to the specifications the manufacturers require of the vendor that made the tanks for them...in other words, it isn't exactly Acerbis's problem....they just built exactly what they were contracted to build based on specs they were given....

Fair point.  Let me re-address by saying that all the road going KTMs that I've seen (including the RC8) with Acerbis sourced nylon tanks seem to have the same swelling issues.  Motohooligan even makes take offset brackets to "allow" for proper fitting as the tanks start to expand.
