    Mahindra is the only Indian 2 wheeler manufacturer that is in Moto GP since 2011, wake up folks!

    And even if they aquire some stake in Ducati, I dont think there will be any immediate 248 or 0199!!! For Ducati, it wont make sense to get distracted from its core business, that is medium to high capacity street and sports bikes which are niche products commanding a premium. Mahindra would do well to get the knowledge they are aquiring from MotoGp to filter off to a new product available in the market.

      It's clearly mentioned that Mahindra is among the buyers at the top of the list. Hence there is a good chance of this happening.
      I'm not sure if you know how it all works when management control is changing hands. It's not as simple as a PE deal, it works that way only when part of the stake is changing hands, not management control. It will go through lot of phases, all parties should agree to terms & conditions (including employee union and other investors in Ducati). Trust me, there is a lot at stake when management control is changing.

          mahindra excels in bad electronics,not sure about the ducati though.
          and the question remains why do i race?

              thats what came to my mind also. but after investing in KTM, BAL has neither interest nor finances left to indulge in this.

                      Hero MotoCorp of India in Talks With Bankers on Possible Ducati Purchase

                      Well in last few days, we had a news item quoting Mahindra in fray to grab Ducati, but anyway that was denied by Mahindra. Now it looks like Hero is jumping in with it's huge cash pile.

                      Hero MotoCorp of India in Talks With Bankers on Possible Ducati Purchase - Bloomberg

                      I believe Hero Moto Corp could actually go the distance in this deal. They complement each other perfectly. Ducati has engineering prowess, brand that's respected all over the world and Hero has got back end & cost efficient production lines.

                      So, that's what I mean when I commented in the earlier thread saying Mahindra is nothing in motorcycles. This is the kind of match Ducati will be looking for, even for that matter a Bajaj or TVS can jump into this deal if they got the cash. But, Bajaj's association with KTM, which is right up there with Ducati, eliminates them from this battle. TVS can give it a try.

                          Hero & Ducati Are you sure its Ducati & not Eric Buell? How many companies they're going to have partnership with?
