The possibility of Ducati's sale is an unavoidable topic from a market perspective. Since VW has already mentioned reassessing its assets, it's certainly being considered as an option. Whose hands a storied brand ends up in — I see this as a litmus test for gauging the capital reorganization of the motorcycle industry.

Didn't know Ducati was under VW...

Honestly I'd rather they went back to being independent, less VW influence feels more like Ducati.

VW needs cash for the EV shift, no room left to hold onto a hobbyist brand.

How many times has this sale rumor come up now. Pops up and dies down every year.

'Reassessing held assets' basically reads as code for considering a sale, doesn't it.

VW's strapped for cash, wouldn't be surprising if Ducati got cut loose.

If Chinese capital buys it, the brand image would probably shift overnight.
