    Ducati Opening Factory in Thailand

    Ducati Opening Factory in Thailand

    Get ready to pour some peanut sauce on your spaghetti as Bologna Bullets destined for the Asian markets will soon be produced in Ducati’s newly planned factory in Thailand. Being called a “final assembly” plant, the move is similar to the one that Harley-Davidson undertook late last year, where the Bar & Shield brand setup an assembly plant in India in order to side-step the extremely high tariffs the country puts on foreign-made motorcycles. In addition to Harley-Davidson, Ducati will be joining the likes of Honda, Yamaha, KTM, and Brembo, all of whom have increased their presence in the Asian markets within the past year to capitalize on the growing economies of India, China, and Southeast Asia.

          This is an awesome news. I would've been even happier, if Ducati would've opened their factory in India. Any idea when would the first model roll out from Asian factory in India & ofcourse, what all models will be manufactured?

            Ducati India aims to sell more than a couple of thousand bikes annually in the country by 2014-15, Ducati, however, does not plan to start completely-knocked- down (CKD) manufacturing in India anytime soon.

                If they ever come in India with less than Japanese price, then I am all for Ducati.

                    ^The only things that put me off Ducati is the V engine and its price. I can live with the vibrations and frequent repairs.

                      Price? I would rather say its lack of service centres! (Frequent repairs are now days of past on the ducati)

                          That is like saying the only thing that puts me off girls is boobs. I mean V is the soul of a Ducati man.
