Maybe? > According to several reports, the most likely suitors for the motorcycle brand are Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division. > > Both parties’ interest makes sense. AMG and Ducati entered in a partnership about a year ago, and Volkswagen has been interested in buying the brand since 2008 in order to enter the motorcycle world.

Can you add “interested in buying” to the title so it doesn’t read like they are tendering a joint offer? hahahaha. ---

i had to think about it for a second before i clicked it…i thought some weird collaboration i didn’t know about happened. could be good though, might give duc some funds to do cooler stuff than they already do. ---

It’s done, Audi owns Ducati. Now Rossi needs to get off that terrible bike and scoot on over back to Yamaha asap!
