dpa/Ducati/dpa-tmn Travel enduros such as the Ducati Multistrada 950 are popular for longer tours.

The US motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson is apparently interested in buying the Volkswagen motorcycle brand Ducati.

This is reported by the Reuters news agency, citing insiders. In addition, the Indian provider Bajaj Auto and the financial investors KKR, Bain Capital, Permira and Investindustrial are said to have kept an eye on Ducati. None of the companies have commented on this yet. Even Ducati owner Audi, car manufacturer and VW subsidiary, did not want to comment on the rumors.

Hope for ailing carmaker

According to insider information, the first bids are expected from July. Volkswagen is expecting offers of 1.4 to 1.5 billion euros for the sale of Ducati.

The money could use the struck Volkswagen Group well. The diesel scandal costs the Wolfsburg company worldwide up to 22.6 billion euros.

The motorcycle manufacturer Ducati is sitting in the Italian Bologna and was known for example by the model series "Monster".

  1. No talent…
    Harley Davidson has no talent for acquisitions! At Aermacchi they are almost MV in the 60s … Harley Davidson has no talent for acquisitions! At Aermacchi they almost broke in the 60s. MV Agusta cost $ 100 million or more. Buell they have dying dry, although the brand was quite successful. If that actually happens, it is either the end of Ducati or it will have been very expensive after the resale of Ducati. Since me personally neither the one nor the other brand irritates – should they make. But it would be a pity for the overall scene…

    I wish the Ducati brand that you do not get into the hands of the KKR Financial Investor. He goes mercilessly with humans and brand – stop brutally profit-oriented. That certainly goes differently.

    Harley Davidson, is ok, then learn how to build good motorcycles that do not weigh half a ton, more than a golf cost. And how to build motors that do not shake off all parts from the vehicle. That would be an evolutionary leap from about 30 years overnight for Harley. So that these Bollerkists get calm and ice cream. In addition to son tractor at the traffic light you need hearing protection, so noise the . Oh yes, let them merge, it will be fine.

    I live on a main road, near the traffic light. Not all Harleys are noisy that you need hearing protection. But what all – with an Ami-V8 – have in common: A low-speed, quiet soundscape. No comparison to (also occasionally) hysterically screeching Reisbrenner, where until just before the traffic light only decelerates by downshifting, apparently only drive above 5.000 rpm possible
