True, true. What is the reason the guys with all the extra Monopoly money are letting Ducati go?

I think it was a panic decision.  After the diesel scandal hit, VW was expected to tank hard especially after paying out the billions in the lawsuits.  So far, the damage has been controlled. 

I would not be surprised if VW decides not to sell after all.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I think they're fishing for a sucker to overpay.

There's plenty of riders here that own both. I also know a lot of Ducati owners that are tools as well.

You raaaaaaang?

From the numbers, it seems the only folk that can afford the asking price dont give a shit about bikes. Looks like it would be a stretch for HD. I would trust HD with the marque more than some of the others.

I own both brands and value them both for different reasons.  IMO HD has a marque brand that remains intact despite the aging-out everyone talks about but instead have found plenty of 30 year old plus riders in my travels and at the dealerships.  If HD does buy them I hope they leave Ducati alone to do as they see fit to further the brand image, quality and so on.  My electra glide is a big fat pig and even so it's enjoyable although I do not ride with any "Harley" clubs but rather two  to three of my friends (groups kept complaining about my riding to fast  laughingdp)  My Multi is a beast and serves my purpose perfectly when I want to ride fast and tight.  I for one don't give a shit who buys Ducati, if rumors are true, just leave the brand and design alone.  Oh and lastly I qualify as one of those "assholes" no matter which bike I'm riding.  Dolph

You nailed it, well, maybe not your evaluation of yourself.
