"Nothing will change"
"Piech wanted Ducati for his own personal reasons"
"VW/Audi doesn't need Ducati and its 1.2 bill price is a drop in the bucket for a company that generates 8+ bil in revenue every year with sales of 209 billion"

"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.

Here is the story on Reuters ...
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/17/audi-ducati-idUSL6E8FH5DR20120417
Interestingly, my three vehicles - a white VW Jetta TDI, a blue Porsche 911 C4 and a blue/white Ducati S4R are now all from the same "stable", and although they are all "blau mit weiss" none of them are BMW's

I didn't catch the end of your bike purchasing thread. Congratulations. Good choice. It's funny because you never really know what you want until you ride it.

I think the biggest change will be that Audi will want to increase production numbers.

My thought exactly. Maybe with Audi's money behind them, they can permanently resolve the plastic/expanding tank issue. Definitely has me looking elsewhere for a replacement bike down the road.

Sorry guys, they got a settlement over that issue and I doubt they'll be reopening it.
