So does that mean Ducati's will become boring and understeer lots.   :wink:

....That looks mighty funky, Mat!  :drool:

I can imagine you riding one of those - It would definitely suit your style.

Never been a Ducati fan and can't really stand the sound of V-Twins but that's the only one I'd ever consider owning. Love it side on. But I still don't think you can beat the sound of a triple  :wink:

Either that or Audi's are suddenly going to be able to rev to 18k and pull wheelies  :grin:

Ducati sound very unique and can't be mixed with any iother manufacturer. having said that street triple R sounds amazing and is as torque as v twin and as smooth as linear four, just perfect!

Fair play Audi buying a boutique/performance brand.

My mate Ben works for Ducati Manchester and on weekends he Spanners for Robbie Brown (Ducati 848 challenge Rider), was down at snetterton a few weeks back watching them practice and going back to watch the races in late May, should be good!.

Another of my mates Sam loves his Dukes, I think he has 4 or 5 currently, I know he has an 'R, 1098 Tricolore and a Monster, cant remember the others, he is just mad on em and goes to all the meets in Italy and goes to watch his new bikes being made  :signLOL:

I am a big Ducati fan myself and i have been collecting a few of them since i am a huge motorcyclc lover and they really give me that confidence and fun every time i drive around in my ducati's. have heard of this news though i am not sure if i am happy about it just yet. have to see what changes are in store for Ducati now that audi has acquired it. hopefully its for the betterment of both.
