eezergood Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So now you can officially reserve the first Ducati diesel - do we think this is going to be popular? who would buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well sadly or not this does not result from the merger with or acquisition by Audi. So no fuel change. Just another designer bike. Next will be Gap Ducati or Lacoste Ducati or Gucci Ducati (comes with free handbag for the girlfriend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Pretty lame gimmick teaming up with Diesel, but still a lovely looking bike IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty1412 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ok Ill admit it, Im not afraid..Im a idiot.... when i first read heading I thought holy cow a diesel powered ducati.. wonder how that works... started to twig when I read the post about Gucci ducati. For a moment there I was really excited about how a diesel powered bike would go. I hired a BMW 530d in germany a few years ago and it was superb to drive.... wouldn't even know its a diesel apart from rev range... I guess a diesel powered bike might have to have some serious modification to the torque band.... Why wouldnt a diesle work on a bike though ???

wantan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Diesel is sure a good marketing partner for such bike. Cool bike, cool clothes. I know enough people who would buy such things. A win-win marketing strategy to gain attention for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO reason, Kawasaki produce a 650 cc diesel powered dirt bike! I believe the US military uses them. Edited May 15, 2012 by ib1b4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
