I don't see why Harley would want them. Unless they have some patents that Harley is interested in.

Well they are the same type of companies .... they like the guys that pay more for a name and don't really care to ride.

HD probably thinks Ducati can help improve the reliability of the HD product line.

No way this goes through...I think it'd be suicide for Ducati

[JTChiTown]

I'd like to see this. Maybe more American efforts into bike racing...

Ducati has no say in it. VW owns them and can sell them to whoever they want.

Harley's new bikes are all water cooled, so I'm thinking they want some patents that Ducati owns. They tried the racing game with Buell and that didn't work out. I can't see them trying it again with Ducati.
