With the Ducati up for sale, a lot of global automobile giants including the BMW, Volkswagen and Indian group Mahindra and Mahindra has shown interest to but the same. With a long developed knowledge and expertise of Motorcycles technologies and engine development, Ducati can prove to be a very useful acquisition for these groups in the longer run.
