As VW narrows its model lineup, talk of a Ducati sale surfaces - this is a textbook case of a giant conglomerate being forced into selection and concentration. If a sale does happen, names from emerging capital or Asian players could well come up as buyers. I see how the ownership of a premium brand moves as a mirror reflecting the global power map of motorcycling.

If they get sold off, does that affect current owners at all? Parts availability and stuff?

I don't care who owns it as long as bike prices don't go up.

Please, just don't let it get bought by some sketchy owner. Not Ducati.

Going to Chinese capital would change the vibe. Though there's also a scenario where it grows like Volvo did.

If VW's trimming model lines, a motorcycle brand like Ducati is surely first on the chopping block.

The Ducati sale rumor's back again. How many times is this now.

These rumors keep popping up and fading away. Maybe going independent would actually make them happier.
