HD sunk Aeramacchi and Buell, as well as coming perilously close with MV. Somehow I don't think this would be a good fit.
I think Ducati would manage HD better than HD would manage Ducati. Also lol at Ducati being a rival to HD

Both their fanboys insist on their bikes having "Passion, Character, and emotion"
They're going to passionately run their respective companies into the ground :lmao:

Someone once said my Ducati looked like a Harley, and I was like, 'No way son, the passion, character and emotion are completely different!'. The guy rode a gixxer, so he probably had no idea what I was talking about. #SMH

Funny because I've had more then one HD rider (as a mattet of fact, other cruiser riders too) ask me if my Full Throttle was custom. To which I replied, no....LOL.....she's stock.Someone once said my Ducati looked like a Harley, and I was like, 'No way son, the passion, character and emotion are completely different!'.

The Scrambler line really throws people off as it not what people normally associate with the Ducati.

ehh kinda looks like an xr
i can see XR if I try hard enough, the scrambler line only throws off new guys. They look a
lot like a ducati from the late 60's early 70's. They built a 350 that was very styled like a potential scrambler.

I had the same reaction from techs at the HD dealer in Richmond Hill. (When mine was stock, I've done a few mods since)
Probably more than 'kinda'. Pretty sure that's what Ducati had in mind when they said 'flat track inspired'. It was designed for the American market.

Yes, the original Ducati Scramblers were made in 1962 through to '74. 250s and 350s. The new ones are modern interpretations.

I get waves from HD riders all the time. Maybe it's because they think I'm riding a custom XR. I wave to everyone including Spyders and scooters.
